Left side column on forum home and forum display

As the title says this mod simply puts a column on forumhome and forumdisplay pages.

Installation:
Download the attached XML file.
Import the product.
Edit navbar and footer templates. (See below)


Find in navbar template:
HTML Code:
<div class="body_wrapper">
Add below:
HTML Code:
{vb:raw ss_leftcolumn_start}




Add the code below to the first line of footer template:
HTML Code:
{vb:raw ss_leftcolumn_end}


Footer template after adding the code:
Code:
{vb:raw ss_leftcolumn_end}

<vb:if condition="!empty($ad_location['ad_footer_start']) or !empty($ad_location['global_above_footer'])">
<div style="clear: {vb:stylevar left}">
  {vb:raw ad_location.ad_footer_start}
  {vb:raw ad_location.global_above_footer}
</div>
</vb:if>

......


Once you have installed the modification edit "SevenSkins - Templates > ss_leftcolumn_contents to put your advert or contents in the side column.


Finally don't forget to click install.


Thanks to Lynne for additional css plugin code which I used in this modification.


PS. Do not use my side column mods together use only one.

================================================== ==

Code:
If you want to enable or disable this hack on different pages of the forum .. 
Edit the ss_leftcolumn_start and ss_leftcolumn_end templates:
 
Find:
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
 
 
Edit it to ... for home page:
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">

Hi:

Thank you for the mods. I installed both left and right columns; however, the format is little off for me. I am not sure when using both columns, they give me the issue.

The first pix is for when not loging in the forum when using both left and right columns, as shown below. This is at the top forum level.

Attachment 133599

The second pix is for the same but one level down from top forum level, as shown below.



The thrird pix is for after logging in, as shown below.

Attachment 133600

Any suggestions to fix the issue?


I have one more suggestion that can the columns locate side by side, next to each other? I think we need that option to place it side by side, regardless left or right.

Thanks again for the mods. Installed, voted and nominated.

I've added the code in the places that the instructions stated, but my board is messed up: http://eatsrice.com/forums/forum.php

The footer is not clearing. Any ideas?

Great work with this, greatly appreciated.

Quickly, and I'm sure its something simple, but what am I doing wrong here? Left side bar is showing up all the way at bottom of page and on the right side. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks again.

You have to add these to the correct place in the templates:

{vb:raw ss_leftcolumn_start}
{vb:raw ss_leftcolumn_end}

If you have a custom style then you will have to find out where to add them.

Hmm, thanks.

Reviewed a few times and they seem to be in the correct positions -- but obviously not.

Anybody that can help with the above issue, it would be appreciated. Thought I had them in the right places but still getting the above dislocation (bottom right of forum). Added them to my custom template in Navbar and Footer as prescribed above.
