vBulletin Mods

Can you check something

Do you have different type of blocks or one type?

Can you try different type of blocks and see what happens?

I am having an issue with the sidebar appearing at the bottom of the forums on forum home. Displays fine everywhere else. I saw the author's note about the following:

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.

And neither one apply to me. The forumhome template is the default template and I am not using another mod that would modify the forum home. It was working fine before I upgraded to this latest version of it. I am running vb 4.1.0 PL2

Quote:"I am not using another mod that would modify the forum home."

Are you sure about this? Have you temperorly disabled all other mods to check that?
Can you pls post your forum url?

Regards

I am positive. I disabled all other mods (other than the blog and CMS one of course) to see if there was a conflict. They are all re-enabled now since there was no reason to leave them disabled, but my forum is located at http://www.militarylifenetwork.com/portal

I don't see the vb default style in style options!
BW I will upload version 1.4.1 with pl1 right now try it and see if it fix this issue. If the problem pressist let me know and maybe in this case it would be better to disable sidebar for your forum forumhome page.

Also for everyone custom style can work with sidebar it is just the style have to take care of some factors. IT is always better to copy the default style then create the custom style from the copied style.

That is due to the fact that we do not allow users to select the default vb style. It does not work in the default style either as I have tested it. Again it was working fine on 4.0.8 PL2 before I updated the mod to the 1.4.1 version

Also my custom styles are just the same as default (as they were copied from that) I just changed the header template to include my navigation bars and I changed the colors under StyleVars

The version 1.4.1pl1 my skin for the first time all mixed up

VB 4.1.0pl2

The mod is searching for navbar and footer phrases to locate itself in the proper location please read this from mod thread


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.

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.

location to get sidebar in the proper location.





Was it ok on 1.4.1?
Did you check on the default style?

Having slight issues with the positioning of the sidebar.

Works fine in all areas except top positioning. Tried the fix above (forumhome.css) but couldn't find #sidebar_container at all.

Currently have it positioning itself differently for forumhome, subforum and inside a thread as can be seen in images attached.

Help please?

Forum Home


Sub-forum


And thread look

That is because sidebar css has been moved from forumhome.css to sidebar.css. You will find #sidebar_container there.


Good luck

Hello almannai

1.4.1 is OK and works like all the other versions so far
With 1.4.1pl2 the Sidebar is displayed but the content is very narrow and long attracted
Thanks for your answer

You mean 1.4.1pl1 and not 1.4.1pl2 :)

Can I see it in action?

For what its worth, I've been running 4.1PL2 from the beginning and not had any issues... http://pdaphonehome.com/forums . My templates have some minimal tweaks, but mostly standard.

What I just noticed yet, the bottom bar of vb (Contact, Admin, etc) is appended with 1.4.1pl1 at the end of the sidebar and squeezed.

Screen 1 with 1.4.1
Screen 2+3 with 1.4.1pl1
