I wrote this simple template mod for vB3.0.0 beta 7 just minutes ago. It adds a sidebar to the right-hand side of your forumhome template. You can customize this sidebar however you wishs.

It cannot be re-released without my explicit permission.

Nice template mod :D

You can expect quite a few template mods from me. I can't do PHP to save my life, but HTML I'm real good at.

vewy nice

Cool. Glad to hear you're open to sharing.

Hi there, very nice work. There are quite some users who'd like this. Very nice of you to share this work of yours with us. And can't wait to see you release more :)

Not bad, but I think it should be droped down to be uniform with the rest of tables IMO but still usefull to many I believe.

I've just seen how it's not totally aligned, and the readme says to wait for gold for an updated version.

I guess it can only get better in time :)

I'm thinking of doing something really big and making my forum look like an actual site, with two sidebars and the main table.

Doesn't anybody have that idea? :D

whats the point of two sidebars on a forum though? a forum does put out enough information to make two sidebars a reasonable thing to have, just makes no sense.

like this mod good job

hmm, I might be able to use this one later on, gj TheAnt

There are enough forums with additional information. One side could cover banners, buttons, links and other static stuff, which requires attention. And the other could be used for login, custom info, etc.

Two sidebars would free up the main part of a forum you know...

Great hack!

I'd like to have the sidebar also show up when viewing the forums (all the threads in a forum). What template would that be?? Or is that even possible?

Thanks!

its' the showthread templet and yes it is possable:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums uses them - looks like its in the header and footer though and is on all the pages- just a guess.

on a 800x screen with the default post bit, moderator colum its cramed i think -
need the well - right now preview post bit for vB3 for it to look good - and trash the mod col...

I changed mine to this style and i like it - and it would let the sidbar replace the col for the user information . . . Link to a random Joke-post-> http://sdcbb.com/showthread.php?t=78

It's SO much easier to add a side column if you do NOT use tables for layout...

Great thanks for the info

ok actually I guess that wasn't what I was looking for, or I'm blind lol
SHOWTHREAD lets me put the navbar in the actual threads...so if you want to view a thread, the bar is on the right. Which is fine, needed that anyway.

But the template I'm looking for is the one in which...
Say on this board, if you click on Template Modifications...it lists all the threads in the forum. If I wanted to have the sidebar there, what template is that

This works with gamma.

And I do not know what template you are looking for, as I am still getting used to vB.

But if you want it on every page, you should add it to the footer, at the top. And then it should work right (someone correct me if I am wrong), and load on every page.

<!-- /timezone -->

This is not found in the FOURMHOME template. I even checked the default, but not seeing it. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another marker I can use to know where to place the info?

Thats the FORUMDISPLAY template ;)

Yea that didn't quite work ;)
the footer part that is

Nice job, it would be cool if you added the collapse ability for both vertical and horizontal collapsing. :)
