By default VB4 sidebar will be shown only on forum home page. This mod Will display the Sidebar everywhere in the forum. This mod assumes that you already set your sidebar block from "forum blocks manager". Current Version: 1.5.3 (Free) 2.2.13 (Gold) Demo: Latest Technology Features :
Requested Features [ To Do ] :
Mod requirements:
1. Download plugin. Only free ver:If you are using vb4.1.11 or above download the "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml" and upload "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml" to /includes/xml directory. 2. Login to your vBulletin admincp. 3. Open "Plugins & Products", and go to "Manage Products". 4. Click on "[Add/Import Product]". 5. Import the product-everywhere_sidebar_xxx.xml file that you download. Make sure you set "allow overwrite" to "yes". Only free ver:Also if you are updating the product you need to disable then enable (or even un-install then install) the product to let the product knows about the "cssrollup_everywhere_sidebar.xml". Optional steps for setting different blocks for different forums and pages: 6. Go to mod options Admincp->Settings->options->EveryWhere Sidebar (ESB) options 7. Go down until you see "Block Configuration Switch" check "yes" and save. 8. Go to you forum home you will see all your blocks even the empty ones with blockid below each blcok as in this picture. 9. Any block you want to hide add its block id with colon on "Filter Blocks by forums" or "Filter Blocks by page" text box in the mod options. For example to hide block_html_7 on all forums except forum id 1 and 2 we will add this "block_html_7:1,2" without qoutes to "Filter Blocks by forums"box; and to hide it in all other pages except faq and calendar we will add this "block_html_7:faq,calendar" without qoutes to "Filter Blocks by pages" box. See picture below 10 To hide inactive blocks and blockid title for admins set back "Block Configuration Switch" to "No" and save Optional step to force sidebar to be always visible and hide collapse button : 11. Go to mod options Admincp->Settings->options->EveryWhere Sidebar (ESB) options 12. Set "Don't hide ESB switch" to "yes" and save.

Open editor.css and find
2. Change it to
To Adjust sidebar top level: form admincp open forumhome.css in the style you want to change or use the master style to effect all styles change the padding size for #sidebar_container as you wish eg padding:50px 0; Note:In the new vb versions sidebar css has been moved from forumhome.css to separate file called sidebar.css Most asked question: Q:I've installed your sidebar mod and it works fine except on the forumhome! The sidebar is showing at the bottom of the page. Any idea how to fix it? A:It is either due to one of these: 1. you are using a custom style that is changing the forumhome look. 2. You are using a nother mod that is changing the content of froumhome before this ESB. ESB needs to see this in forumhome
So to tix this problem you either need to make sure that
exist in the correct location or change ESB forumhome plugin to search for a new phrase. for the latest version 1.4.1+ it looks for
and
so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change
and
location to get sidebar in the proper location. To Get Support:
Gold Everywhere sidebar can be ordered from here Old versions can be downloaded from here Enjoy |

Looks like a nice idea, I will try it today, Installed.
Rated 5 Stars. |
And you would think it would have just been default....

AND, can you add a specification in the admincp to set a fixed width for the sidebars? AND, can you add a permission for blocks, so admins can specify which users CAN see a block? AND, can you add the option to let individual blocks NOT be collapsible, vertically? For example, let user minimze recent post or other blocks, but NOT mandatory blocks that show ads? And if user permissions are associated with blocks, then site subscribers, who pay not to see ads, will not see the ad blocks. We use this function a lot. AND, can you add the option to NOT allow the entire sideblock to be minimized? This would make your mod exactly what I need. A must have. Need money as encouragement? |
Wonderful and thank you!!!!! I agree, it should of been part of the package....
|
I'm only seeing it on my Forums page, not when I click "what's new"...is that correct?

Great, thanks for this. Should be default. Installed, nominated, rated excellent.
|
Nice and simple, does what it says on the tin
thanks |
Great!!! I will install it now.
Thanks a lot |
Doesn't Work
|
Would be great if we can choose to display the sidebar in forumdisplay only, or showthread only.
|
Thank you all..

Have you enabled sidebar in the options and the forum blocks manager? Quote:
My original idea is to keep it simple as much as possible |
Ok, I found some issues that will come up with this depending on what you do with your website.
The forum sidebars can contain any PHP/HTML you want. So I created a sidebar that displayed the "Who's Online" like I used to have in a VBAdvanced Block. This works fine until you do something like try to edit your avatar. When you click that link, you get an error because the necessary includes aren't in that page for Who's Online to work. So I'm not saying this mod is broken (it really isn't), but with the unlimited things you can add to a sidebar, doing this this way can lead to some serious issues later down the road when you start installing custom sidebars (as people, yourselves) make them. I've had to disable it for now until I can try and think of a way around it. |
Quote:
You Added "Who's Online" in sidebar that was running only on forumhome. So if you want to add extra functionality on forumdisplay for example then you have to take care of the files that needs to be included to make "Who's Online" works on forumdisplay. This is not this mod job as it is impossible to include everything everywhere.:) Regards, |

Perfect! Works in "What's New" for me now! Thanks! |
Nice .. thanks

Would it be possible to have differnet sidebars on differnet forum pages?
That way a forum could display a lot more info such as specific ads on specific forums, like car ad in a car forum and truck ads in a truck forum. Anyway this mod is a big help, Thanks.:) |
Suggestion: Change the position of the sidebar on all pages (including the original FORUMHOME) to let it displayed from the top! Currently it is looking like this
Forumhome Forumhome text Forumlist Sidebar (2nd line) Forumdisplay Announcement line 1 Announcement line 2 Create topic Show topics from 1 - 40 Sidebar (4th line) Showthread Create Topic Show all posts Posts Sidebar (2nd line) Better would be to have the sidebar on the top right on all pages, and not moving up and down once you click on forumdisplay or showthread. Do you understand what I want to suggest? |

I'm not thinking of using adsense, I was thinking more of our own forum ads that we would place in the blocks.

Right, i said the mod was working as it should. I was just giving a warning to those that use the mod that in the future this might happen to them, so they would know what the issue was. Otherwise it'll be harder to track down later. |
Thanks for the mod.. nice work! :)
Is there a way to be able to add the sidebar to other custom vBulletin pages? |
Does not work on:
FAQ Member's List Albums Calendar On all it simply provides a blank page until disabled. |
Works like a charm.
Thank you :) |
I've got a member that says the quick reply box is running over in to the sidebar now (using IE8). Has anyone else run in to this? I don't use IE8, so I can't duplicate it right now.

Here's mine with the quick reply expanded

Could it be that you have your sidebar on the left, ours is on the right? Not sure how that would cause it, but that's the only difference I see off the bat |
SemperFideles screenshot is on the left
I've check it on the right and left and can't re-produce this could you please put your forum url? |
Quote:
http://www.nmoffroad.com/forumvb/forum.php Like I said, I can't reproduce this either, as I don't have IE8. But one of my members (actually a Mod) showed me that. |
Does somebody have a screenshot that I could check out? Is this a floating sidebar that follows the scroll, or is it static?
This sounds like exactly what I need. Thanks. |
does not work

Lovely and just what I needed. Installed, rated 5 stars, and works a charm!

Very handy mod. I'd suggest an option to turn off the feature for various pages people may not want the sidebar on every page but I've just gone ahead and removed the hooks from the xml to get the right balance.

Possible addition for next version (if it hasn't been mentioned already) - the ability to turn sidebar off for certain forum styles if possible.
Currently trying to install a Mobile style for people using phones etc to browse so would be handy if we could turn the sidebar off for people browsing in this style ;) |

To be added to "To do list" |
It doesn't work for me. When I install, the sidebar disappears.

Do you get any error? Have you tried to reinstall it? Also check mod options if they are set as it should Regards, |

mod have been updated with all required features.

Hats off to you almannai - you're support on this mod is fantastic! Only wish I could vote again.
Have downloaded, installed, edited settings, and no-longer have sidebar on Mobile style - its brilliant! :D |
Fantastic and thank you.
BTW, for an update, any changes to the templates? Need to uninstall first? or just import the product? Thanks again, very much appreciated :) :) :) |
I see almannai is currently showing as offline so I'll answer what I did anyway
Go to Pulgins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import product -> Allow Overwrite Yes Thats all I did and it worked perfectly for me anyway (though I had to reset where it displays again and who can't see it) |
