vBulletin Mods

almannai,

I'm trying to filter block_threads_25: and block_threads_28: but it is not working.

It works for filtering block_html_9: and block_cmsarticles_3:

Here are my settings

Filter Blocks by forums
block_html_21:47
block_html_9:
block_cmsarticles_3:
block_threads_25:
block_threads_28:

Filter Blocks by pages
block_threads_25:
block_threads_28:

When you said it is not working, do you mean it is shown everywhere with this settings?

Are you sure about their ids?

Confirmed a bug is found ..

It seams the system is changing the forum id from "block_threads_forumid" to "block_newthreads_forumid" if the block is for new started thread type and
from "block_threads_forumid" to "block_newposts_forumid" if the block is for new started post type and so on

for the timebeing and until all type is checked and fixed please use "block_newthreads_25:" instead of "block_threads_25:" if it is for new thread block

This bug is fixed by ver 1.2.2

Now the mod will display the correct block id in configuratin mode.

Just make sure the block is not empty at configuration time.

99% will work even if it is an empty block this just to make sure by 100%

Works perfect now. Thanks for the mod and all your help

Is the new filtering feature fully comparable with vBSEO? I'm having some difficulty getting it to work.

I didn't test it with vBSEO

Why you don't send your settings and what you want to do?

OK. I update to 1.2.2 and now i think i found the problem that make the BLOCK HTML not working for me.

When i switch to admin mode it showes me this under the html block:
Blockid:block_html_28" class="blockbody floatcontainer restore">

I didn't know there is "blockbody floatcontainer restore"

open product plugin global start hook

find "blockbody floatcontainer"

replace it with "blockbody floatcontainer restore"

FOUND THE PROBLEM!!!!
class="blockbody floatcontainer restore"> - the restore did not need to be there..... :)

now everything working!!! (i think) :)

THANK YOU almannai!!!!

:)

You think :rolleyes:

Have a good day

hhhhhhh for now it's looking great :)

1 more noob q:
How can i make that users cannot remove the sidebar at all?

Here

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...=1#post1989971

Almanni,

I switched from another forum software and your mod really helped me fix the issue that I have vertical banners that run on the side of the forum. I looked through countless pages of this thread and can't seem to find anyone that has the same problem. I have thousands of users using a number of different browsers but they seem to be having a common issue.

When the EveryWhere Sidebar is open, it often severly truncates the text in the thread and in many cases it looks like this:

F
o
r
u
m

T
e
x
t

Since my advertisers are paying for their banner ads to appear, I'm kind of caught in the crossfire. Members are shutting the sidebar because of truncated text (I've done it myself at work on 15" monitor). And advertisers are not happy because members are shutting the sidebar with their ads. Anything you could suggest to help me resolve this would be greatly appreciated. If I can get this fixed, then I'll shut down their ability to close the sidebar.

Here's the links to my boards:

Not on this version

It will be added in the next update if possible

I couldn't see the problem because I'm not a member of your forum;)

Could you please send a screenshot?

The mod will be updated within an hour with this feature

Installed and nominated for MOTM.

Thank you again!

You are so fast! :) will try 1.3 right now. just what i need :) perfect!

So i have a problem as always :)

When i activat sidebar always on that what happen:
Attachment 119642

Thanks Almanni,

Here's two different screen shots. Part of the issues with the EveryWhere Sidebar and my forum is many of my users have smaller monitors or netbooks.





Thanks!

Dirk

Good to see some features added.

Is it possible to enable the sidebar on the CMS?

Thanks

I've checked it out and seems working fine for me on both left and right sidebar

Can you test it on both sides

I never see something like it before. Are u using some othe mod?


We will see.

I've updated the mod try 1.3.1

Working like a charm!!! amazing :)
Thank you so much. it's the best mod ever!

>>>I never see something like it before. Are u using some othe mod?

No It's:

EveryWhere Sidebar 1.1.4 This mod will show the sidebar everywhere in the forum if the sidebar is enabled by the administrator

I think that part of the problem is inherent to VB perhaps? It does not seem to be limited to one browser. The only work around that comes to mind is finding/building a template that will lock down the different areas. I haven't seen any settings that are suspect but seems funny that I don't see anyone else with the same trouble. Thanks!

Dirk Pepperd

For some reason I have a problem with this mod. Are we able to have more than 1 block? I see in your picture that you have "blockid:block_html_2" and "blockid:block_html_7"

But when I try to create more than one block and I look for the block id's via the switch, it shows:

"Blockid:block_" and "Blockid:block_html_5"

Whats going on with the "first" block? Did I make an error somewhere when setting it up?

EDIT:

I got it working! Heres how I did it. When it was showing the block id's, part of the display was

class="blockbody floatcontainer restore">

..As the OP mentioned in an earlier post, go to AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager -> Edit the file "sidebar_global" -> and replace every instance of

"blockbody floatcontainer"

with

"blockbody floatcontainer restore"

and save.. There should be three (3) instances

Your last comment line should answer you why it is happening to you only?

Also why you don't install the last update !!!

You are the second person complaining about this.

I will make an update to make sure this will not happen to anybody else.

wait for 1.3.2

Regards

First of, thanks for this brilliant mod which has saved me lots of time!

However, I've just got around to upgrading from 1.1.4, and have hit a problem.

Whenever ESB is enabled in the product manager, the sidebar fails to load anywhere on the forum. Rather than try explaining, I've attached a couple screenshots.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, going through the sidebar settings, but the problem remains. Any ideas?

(Note - the screenshots are from my test site, so going to the url displayed in the background won't let you see the problem. If you need access to the test site, PM me, and I'll give you the access details)

Did you edit ESB template manualy before you un-install the old version?

You can tell if you un-install the mod and the template remains.

I had my sidebar working on the default vBulletin installation.

I installed this mod and the only time the sidebar shows up is when replying to threads.

Any help?

Yes

Check the mod options and where you enable it

Check if some other mods is changing your default templates that is effecting this mod functionality. You can do this by temperorly disabling mods one by one.

I found out which one it was. Thank you - it was driving me nuts!

That's not very helpful. If you found a conflicting mod, please let us know which one. And post something in that mod's thread too.

It was one I'm custom coding for openx that I made a thread elsewhere on the forum about.

But now I ran into the new problem that my sponsor sidebar is working everywhere but the forum home with this plugin enabled.

Once I disable it, the sponsor sidebar on the front page works again.

http://www.fullthrottlev6.com/forums/ - My forums

I turned on the switch to see empty blocks - sure enough, it's only empty on the front page of the site.

Strange!!

Are you sure it is not disabled for the index page?

If so

Can you build another html block and place the block_html_1 content in the new block and see if this will work

Tried it - no go. Damn.

If you want me to login to your forum to see what is wrong, pm me.

vbulletin 4.0.5
There is a problem with the block "users online" http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...k+users+online and this Mod. If both are active there is an error message when you eg goes into the profile or FAQ, Who is Online
Fatal error: Call to undefined function fetch_online_status() in ...\includes\block\html.php(95): eval()'d code on line 93


Change desire
Can not hide the sidebar on the set user rights? Then Guest e.g. the sidebar can not hide, but users have the possibility

This error in a function used by Lynne mod so it is better you ask Lynne

This can be added

Thanks I have it posted at Lynne.

I would be very happy if you build in this.

Do you guys know of anyway I could make this whole sidebar float.... and auto scroll down when the user scrolls down to keep it in front of them?

:)

Done
1.3.3

works well except the fact that on forumhome, the sidebar floats under the main layout for no apparent reason..works ok in the rest (vb 4.0.5)

Did you check some other mod is effecting your forumhome template?

what is your forum url?

Has anybody face similar problem?

Thank you very much almannai.
Works fine, no problems.

In my case, is the Sidebar not under the main layout (vb4.0.5)


EDIT

here are the German translation of "Everywhere Sidebar 4 VB4"

Translation install
To import the translation goes as follows:

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

Thank you very much for your feedback and for the translation

How to align the sidebar with the main forum? It is currently about 10px higher than the main forum.

It's not the Mod it is VB.

write this in the additional.css

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

Thank you.

Actually, is there any other workaround to fix this?

I'd prefer to keep the Forum Titles for SEO purposes.

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:47px 0;


regards

Has this fixed your problem?

It is very important to reply to the answer so others will know that this is the right or wrong answer?

I cant hack this mod.
Please help me

try to temperory disable all other mods and see if this fix your problem

Then check which one is causing this problem by enabling mods one by one

I just installed this plugin. It works nicely but I cannot enforce the sidebar. Is there a reason why I'm not seeing anything pertaining to the copy/paste below on my AdminCP?

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.

Is there some manual edits I can do to the templates for my custom style to get this to work? As it is on all but FORUMHOME it displays below the forums. TIA!

I have this problem too!!

there's a screenshot to show you guys better what we mean! thanks a lot if you can help me

Great product, but I have a question concerning the spacing between the sidebar blocks.

Over at vbulletin.com, Lynne shared some css that would allow us to put some spacing between the various blocks. Below is a link to that thread...

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...Sidebar-Blocks

Anyway, when I use Everywhere Sidebar, it will override the above css and put the blocks back in their original state; with the blocks all touching each other. I would like to keep the spacing that Lynne's code allows me to do, so if anyone has an idea where I can go to adjust the spacing between blocks when Everyside Sidebar is enabled, I would most appreciate it.

Thanks!

Sorry everybody I've been a way for ciuple of days

Very odd!!!

Can you post your forumurl please?


ok guys anytime you see this it means something is changing the forum home template before the ESB.

The mod is searching for

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

to insert the ESB. If this is changed then you need to change that to what you have in your forumhome template.

you can chage it from forumhome_complete hi\ook of the mod

search for

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

and change to fine whatever page title div is used in your forum




ok for fast fix

open ESB template "sidebarext_temp"

search for

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

add below your aditional style settings

eg

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

and you will get a very nice good looking sidebar :)

Thank you almannai! Works and looks great!

:)

Enjoy

Thank you kindly for the reply!

Although I still haven't got it fixed for use with vbadvanced. Any idea on what I need to do in order to make it work?

Thank you

Please pm me with your site url?

Regards

No longer works for me... turning it off for PM and User CP don't work. It's still there....

Was there a fix for the people who have collapsed the sidebar, and now we have it set so that they cannot, but they get a big blank sidebar instead? What can be done for that?

Please send your full mod settings

Yes.

set "Don't hide ESB switch" to yes

I have this problem too:



Thank you,
Vitor

This image for the old version

make sure you update the mod

better to uninstall the mod then check that all mod templates are removed then install again

Thank you!

u welcome:)

Back for another try almannai, I guess I wasn't clear previously. ESB displays wrong on all pages except FORUMHOME.

If it is working on the default style then something wrong on the new style.

Have you test it on the default style?

Oops, no. forumhome displays the default sidebar. I just realized it's not the EWS variation.

you didn't answer my quesion!

Have you test it on the default style?

I see how to have the sidebar on the general album page, but I would also like to run the sidebar on the album picture list pages (album_picturelist) and the actual picture pages (album_pictureview). I have had some trouble coding those up to work. Do you have any suggestions on how I can add the everywhere sidebar to the image gallery and image pages?

I have adjusted the max size of the images so there is room, I just can't seem to get the sidebar to show.

Yes, I tested it on the default style and it's fine. As I said I know it's something I eliminated in my custom style and was wondering if you could tell me what it needs to find. I tried the tags for the custom pages with limited success.

sure

open "product-everywhere_sidebar_1.3.3.xml" in any text editor

you will see different type of hooks for each different forum page

look for the variable $sidebarext_search this what the mod will use its value to search and replace


for example here is the forumdisplay hook

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

First the $sidebarext_search variable is equal to $footer this should be ok
as I don't think you will remove that

Then it is set to

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

so if removed or changed this you should adjust the $sidebarext_search to look for the new value

Is there a fix to have ESB in line with the rest of the forum?

I don't want to remove the forum title.

Thank you for your patience almannai! It's working now!

Installed & Rated Excellent

Fantastic support!

This has been answered before here
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...&postcount=451

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:47px 0;


you are welcome

Thanks.

I have another problem that I have only just noticed due to the fact that I use Firefox.

It's not displaying properly in IE. I'm not saying it's this plugin, but I wonder if anyone else had the same problem? Basically, If I have too many sidebar blocks, and it goes down further than the forum itself, then the blocks are screwed up and displayed HORIZONTALLY below "What's Going On".

Like I say, it's absolutely perfect in Firefox, problem is with IE.

vb4 had several bugs with IE before that has been fixed maybe this is one of them.

why you don't custimize your sidebar to have less blocks?

Yeah I've had to do that for the time being until I can find a fix.

Does this work fine with 4.0.6? If it doesn't, what are the known issues?

So far it's fine in 4.0.6 It's not on the blog page but that can be added by hand I assume or just use a widget, they look the same. You have way more control with this mod, the 114 version does NOT include the feature to keep the box open like the 1.3.3.

I don't see any problems in I.E. 8 the blocks show up just fine.

Thanks almannai for this mod I appreciate it.

Peace

Your are welcome

Thank you all guys for being here and for you support

Does anyone know if this is the best sidebar for VB4? or is there
something better? I would also appreciate if I could see a demo
of this in action, anyone willing to post their site for review.

Does not seem to function in v4.0.6
Blank sidebar with arrow....
I do not see a block confi option
as mentioned to set to no...

Tried it in IE, and firefox, no change.

Thanks

This mod is using vb4 sidebar to be displayed everywhere in the forum with extra options.

It should work on 4.0.6

Did you add blocks to sidebar?

How To Add Blocks To Sidebar:
From your admincp click on "Forums & Moderators" then click "Forum Blocks Manager". Hit "Add Block" you will see a dropdown list of block types. Select the type of block you want and hit continue. Now set your block and save. You are done and this new block should be shown on your sidebar.

Gotcha, working like a charm... :)

Anybody there to help me out? I don't see this in the mod options page:

So what do I do to disable the minimize the sidebar function?? Please help me out!

:)
If you don't see it this means you still have the old version.

uninstall the old mod then re-install latest one.

If you edit the mod template manually then you need to delete it first

Thanks dear developer! I took the wrong one... thanks for the quick response. Your mod rocks and I have rated it 5*. Keep up the great job!

Dear developer there still a problem... see the picture:



Can you please help??

I see what you mean.

I will try to fix this in the new upgrade.

Dear developer, Is it not possible for you to provide me with a solution that I can do manually with your instructions now? Because this is important for me now. I hope you can help.

Thank You.

You would make life a lot easier on yourself if you just didn't put ads in the sidebar. People will simply get annoyed with them and block them.

No suggestions on how to get the sidebar working on album picture view and picture list pages?

Hello developer, can you please help me out?

install 1.3.4
