What is this:
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 :
  • Add ESB to Blog (Gold version only).
  • Option to set ESB in blog sidebar (Gold version only).
  • Option to replace blog sidebar by ESB (Gold version only).

  • Show sidebar in the vbcms pages (Gold version only).
  • Rotating Ad system included in the sidebar (Gold version only).
  • Filter Block by usergroups (Gold version only).

  • With more than 20 setting you can enable and disable sidebar very easily on any any page.
  • You can hide sidebar in the excluded forums mod options.
  • You can show sidebar for all or show it for non members.
  • Now you don't have to enable sidebar from option. Enabling this mod will enable sidebar everywhere. But you need to set sidebar blocks from "forum blocks manager".
  • All previous bugs have been fixed.
  • The ability to exclude certain usergroups.
  • The ability to turn sidebar off for certain forum styles.
  • The ability to place the side bar on custom pages.
  • The ability to control displaying sidebar when forum is closed.
  • The ability to set different blocks for different forums [ver 1.2].

  • In 1.3.3 you have ability to exclude groups from the above feature that is to be always visible. So that the excluded group members will be able to collapse ESB.
  • In 1.3.4 the vertical collapse button is removed and blocks is forced to by expanded if "Don't hide ESB switch" is set to yes as requested in this post
  • In 1.4.1 pl1 custom html/php block bug and some other bugs were fixed.
  • In 1.4.3 you can set sidebar width and sidebar button top alignment from mod options.

Requested Features [ To Do ] :
  • -

Mod requirements:
  • The mod is tested on default vb style with no other mods. So we gurantee that mod will work on the default vb style with no conflict with other mod.
  • As a courtesy we may make minor fix so the plugin works on styles other than the default but we are not hold to it.
Installation:


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 :

Admincp => Languages & Phrases download => Languages / upload => Click on "EITHER upload the XML file from your computer" click Browse and select the translation from => at "Language Override chooses her German => Import => Done


Optional steps for vBadvanced:(Not supported)
This thread is created by qG ThaLiX, he asked then he answers his question intersting thread. I don't have vBadvanced but it seams it is working from the replies.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

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
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

So to tix this problem you either need to make sure that
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

so if you are setting new style make sure not to remove or change
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

location to get sidebar in the proper location.

here's another.....can you make DUAL sidebars enabled for all pages in the forum?

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?

molieman 22 Jan 2010 22:08

abqtj 22 Jan 2010 22:15

Would be great if we can choose to display the sidebar in forumdisplay only, or showthread only.

I don't think it will be a problem but need to think a bit about it.

If a lot of people request this i may add more option to this mod

My original idea is to keep it simple as much as possible

Trek 23 Jan 2010 07:46

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.

The mod is working as it should be.

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.:)

Great Mod

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.:)

ThorstenA 23 Jan 2010 15:24

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 see what you mean, but shouldn't that works automatically when using google adsense?

Yes I got what you want to say. I will try to look at it more closely and see what can be done.

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.

PcGamer 23 Jan 2010 22:14

Thanks for the mod.. nice work! :)

Is there a way to be able to add the sidebar to other custom vBulletin pages?

SemperFideles 23 Jan 2010 23:00

Does not work on:

FAQ
Member's List
Albums
Calendar

On all it simply provides a blank page until disabled.

Rob F 24 Jan 2010 00:40

Works like a charm.

Thank you :)

abqtj 24 Jan 2010 03:22

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.

Then it must be something wrong with your forum. Or you are using some other mod that is changing your forum inner codes.

It's likely another mod. It's just odd that your code only works on threads and search results but not the faq, calendar, albums, and member list. There's no mod I have that does anything unique to those functions.

It's not terribly important. I just disabled the plugins for those pages and use it for the others.

Yes, same problem here.

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

almannai 27 Jan 2010 12:29

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?

Sure:

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.

hiker 27 Jan 2010 14:00

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.

The Text box becoming very wide in the Quickreply is not replated to this mod. This is happening to members and mod's and not admin's (That is way I couldn't see it before). Without installing this mod using IE8 if you resize your browser the textbox of the quixkreply will not resize and this is only happening in IE8.

I'v reported this as a bug in vbullerin.com.

From admincp go to "Forums & Moderators" then "Forum Blocks Manager" and add your block to be displayed in your sidebar

Also you need to enable sidebar from "Forum Sidebar and Block Options" in admincp settings options

assassin85 01 Feb 2010 01:30

great mod , but still require some modifications

for example : when forum closed , the sidebar shows

DaPro 01 Feb 2010 01:49

this doesnt appear to be working on my forum. where is the sidebar?
i have enabled it in options, and regarding the forum blocks manager... what exactly am i supposed to do here? i have added/removed/updated the blocks yet NONE appear on the forum. what is going on!?

Eq4bits 01 Feb 2010 19:53

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

Ted S 01 Feb 2010 21:52

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.

After enabling sidebar from options and adding blocks do you see the sidebar at forumhome?

from admincp open plugin manager then at "Product : EveryWhere Sidebar" edit global_start in the php code find


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

replace it with


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

save it and you are done

know sidebar will be shown even when your forum is closed

If you mean showing sidebar in what's new it is part of the mod search option.

If you want to show latest post block this is controled from

Admincp --> Forums & Moderators --> Forum Blocks Manager --> Add New Block --> Forum Threads

darren1981 05 Feb 2010 10:50

Any way to set the sidebar to an "OPEN" status by default ??

I only seem to be able to view it after clicking the button, but i notice on VBulletin.com that the sidebar is always open... Thanks in advance for any help on this one, Cheers (website in question is in my sig, you will notice it is shut by default :S )

If the sidebar is open it will stay open all the time and vis versa. This behavior is same as vbulletin default. This mod didn't changed this behavior.

check it and you will see what i mean :)

Rob F 11 Feb 2010 05:25

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"

Also check mod options if they are set as it should

Same here, but I found that it only disappears when the board is turned off. I have my vBulletin off while I am working on the design, but I tried turning it back on and voila - the sidebars are back. They did appear with the board off in the first release.

One of the to do list is controlling showing or hiding the sidebar when forum is closed

At the begining I thought hiding sidebar when forum is closed is better but it turned out that some people want it to be shown

Have downloaded, installed, edited settings, and no-longer have sidebar on Mobile style - its brilliant! :D

molieman 12 Feb 2010 17:17

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 :) :) :)

Rob F 12 Feb 2010 17:47

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)

did you add block?
that is
forums & mods > forum blocks > add the blocks you want

and for registering the variables, are not required unless you plan to display sidebar on custom pages

Do you want to show it on custom pages?
