Left Sidebar on all pages.

Provides a left, right or both sidebars on all pages.

Ok, found the fix for IE 5.x

Notice the spacer_close template:

<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
</td></tr></table>
<else />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</if>
<!-- / close content container -->

What this does is output three </div> tags if the browser is new (ie 6) or three </td></tr></table> tags if the browser is OLD (ie 5.x)

Now, in the SHOW THREAD template there appears to be an extra call for the $spacer_close at the end of the thread tools table. In IE 6 this doesn't cause any bugs because three </div> tags won't screw up anything. HOWEVER, in IE5, the </tr></td></table> tags will screw up the output - it closes the table and sends the post content to the bottom of the sidebar.

SO, here's the fix:

In SHOWTHREAD template, find:

<!-- / toolbar -->

<!-- end content table -->
$spacer_close
<!-- / end content table -->

and delete the $spacer_close text

Okay, this is going to sound so stupid... I can't think!

I have the first menu...basically just edited what already was there. But when I try to add another box... it totally screws up the whole look of it, and it sits ontop of the forum.

DW - you jjust have to wait unfortunately - when I got his error, it took about 8 hours to clear it out - even robootong wouldn't help it.

Yeah = btw the reason you are getting display errors in early version of IE, is that IE5.x does not properly render compliant XHTML

Is there any way to have 2 side bars (custom php pages), one left and one right? I want to separate the page in 3 parts, one custom page on left, the vb pages on the center and another custom page on right.

this is good. I am finally gathering enough hacks that I won't have to wait for vBPortal to be released.

Someone should get this integrated with vBIndex so we could have the custom boxes with an editor and all that stuff.

Good work!
