I've tried various things to get the alignment working on this "NICE Addition"; however I was not able to get that down pat. I have visited some of the sites who have installed this code and each has the same problems noted in previous posts. I looked at the code from a page dump inside Golive and found all ending tags in the footer section Highlighted because each was out of alignment with the remaining code of the page.

Not sure how it can be done but it would be nice if your columns appeared below the Nav bar. That way the nav bar remains sized as intended and content falls below.

See enclosed pic for my suggestion.

Good hack, but it's turned off for now.

Removed old version, tables etc and reinstalled but receive this error when trying to install..

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO phrase (languageid, varname, text, phrasetypeid) VALUES(0, 'setting_adright_title', 'Advertisement "Right" Column Active', 5000)

mysql error: Duplicate entry 'setting_adright_title-0-5000' for key 2

mysql error number: 1062

i got the exact same thing jsut now!

ok he left out one query -

DELETE FROM `phrase` WHERE `varname` = 'setting_adleft_title' LIMIT 1;

Add that to the list of queries above - and redo them all -- then run the installer ---

Yes, there should be no problem with vB 3.0.0 "Gold".

That's the beauty of templates, you can put things wherever you want. Just change the HTML code and place it below $navbar and you're set.

Magnus,

Unfortunately, this is still not taking care of my spacing problem, thanks for all your help trying to get this figured out. :ermm: I guess I'll keep watching this thread, if anyone figures it out, please let me know what it was to fix it.

Does anyone have this working with proper alignment on a different styles other than the default style?

That needs to be "width:100%". You can change it in your Stylevars in the AdminCP.

I'm trying to do the edit but I don't find anything like this in my global.php file:

	#######################
	eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');
	#######################

I'm running vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 3

I don't understand, if I take your showthread.txt output file, modify that line to read width:100%, it works fine. Are you positive you changed it correctly?
