Ok php guru's (adding sidebar to showthread)

[HMBeaty]

I've been playing around with the sidebar code for the past couple days, trying to figure out where I can add the default vBulletin sidebar

Last night, I was able to successfully add it to FORUMDISPLAY



Today (or for the past hour or so anyway), I've been trying to add it to SHOWTHREAD. It's MOSTLY successful, however, there's an error at the top of the page:

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at [path]/showthread.php:1) in [path]/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 37

:erm: Any idea on how to fix that? lol

This is the code I'm currently using....

In showthread.php, I've added:

PHP Code:

    'activeblocks' 


to

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array( 


I've added:

PHP Code:

    'block_blogentries',
    'block_cmsarticles',
    'block_newposts',
    'block_sgdiscussions',
    'block_tagcloud',
    'block_threads',
    'block_html',
    'tag_cloud_link' 


to

PHP Code:

$globaltemplates = array( 


I've added:

PHP Code:

// ### SIDEBAR #################################################
$show['sidebar'] = false;
// disable blocks for ie6
if ($vbulletin->options['enablesidebar'] AND !(is_browser('ie') AND !is_browser('ie', 7)) AND !VB_API)
{
    require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_block.php');
    $blockmanager = vB_BlockManager::create($vbulletin);
    $sidebar = $blockmanager->getSidebarHTML();
    if ($sidebar)
    {
        $show['sidebar'] = true;
    }

    $show['sidebarposition'] = vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStyleVar($vbulletin->options['sidebarposition'] == 0 ? 'left' : 'right');
} 


Above:

PHP Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('showthread_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false; 


And I've added:

PHP Code:

    $templater->register('sidebar', $sidebar); 


Above:

PHP Code:

print_output($templater->render()); 


In the template SHOWTHREAD, I've added:

,sidebar.css,tagcloud.css

To:
{vb:cssfile

toolsmenu.css,postlist.css,showthread.css,postbit.css,options.css,attachment.css,poll.css,lightbox.css}

I've added:

,sidebar-ie.css,tagcloud.css

To:

{vb:cssfile toolsmenu-ie.css,postlist-ie.css,showthread-ie.css,postbit-ie.css,poll-ie.css}

I've added:

    <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
    <script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:stylevar yuipath}/animation/animation-min.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var sidebar_align = '{vb:raw show.sidebarposition}';
        var content_container_margin = parseInt('{vb:math {vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_width}+{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}*2}}');
        var sidebar_width = parseInt('{vb:stylevar forum_sidebar_width}');
    </script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/vbulletin-sidebar.js?v={vb:raw vboptions.simpleversion}"></script>
    </vb:if>

Above:

{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

I've added:

    <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
    <div id="content_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="contentright"</vb:if>>
        <div id="content">
    </vb:if>

Below:

    <div id="pagetitle" class="pagetitle">
        <h1>
            {vb:rawphrase thread}: <span class="threadtitle"><a href="{vb:raw thread_url}" title="{vb:rawphrase reload_this_page}">{vb:raw threadinfo.title}</a></span>
        </h1>
        <vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
            {vb:raw fblikebutton}
        </vb:if>
    </div>

And I've added:

    <vb:if condition="$show['sidebar']">
        </div>
    </div>

    <div id="sidebar_container"<vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'"> class="sidebarleft"</vb:if>>
        <a id="sidebar_button_link" href="#">
            <vb:if condition="$show['sidebarposition'] == 'left'">
            <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed-left.png" alt="" />
            <vb:else />
            <img id="sidebar_button" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/tab-collapsed.png" alt="" />
            </vb:if>
        </a>
        <ul id="sidebar">
            {vb:raw sidebar}
        </ul>
    </div>
    </vb:if>

Above:

{vb:raw footer}

This one is racking my brains a bit lol. Any ideas?

I don't think I qualify as a php guru, but maybe check the very top of showthread.php and make sure there aren't any extra characters there by mistake.

That was one of the first things I checked lol. I even downloaded a fresh copy of vBulletin 4.1.7, re-edited showthread.php, and still get the error. The Facebook platform is somehow interfering in some way . When I disable facebook via the AdminCP options, the error goes away (go figure )

Ok, here's a quick update. Got around to playing around with the sidebar for showthread again, and after REMOVING the code I added to showthread.php and reuploading the file I removed the code from, I still get that error. So it's obviously something to do with editing the showthread.php file. When I upload the original, unmodified showthread.php, the error goes away. Thoughts?

[kh99]

What program you using to edit the file? I've seen other people post about a similar problem that apparently is caused by not using an editor that's specifically for coding.

notepad

That may be it (although I don't really understand why). You should get something called notepad++ (a free download) and try that.

LOL! Well...that did it! I've NEVER had a problem with notepad til now....which is strange :erm:. But, I re-edited another unmodified showthread.php file with notepad++ and uploaded, and no errors :up:

Ok, end result....
