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).
  • Option to set blog sidebar width (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).
  • More options with advance settings of the sidebar (Gold version only).
  • No backlink to our website (Gold version only).
  • The sidebar will be displayed everywhere in the forum.
  • 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].
  • Don't Allow sidebar to be collapsed and force it to be always visible[ver 1.3]. To enable this you need to set "Don't hide ESB switch" from mod options to yes.
  • 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)

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.

Thanks for the response but I'm afraid I'm still getting the wrong results.

I'm testing this out with two different blocks, sent to two different forums.

For example, my Camping forum is #13 and I am sending block_threads_15 to that forum (successfully)
My Biking forum is #20 and I'm sending block_threads_23 to that forum (successfully again)

All of my other forums are not seeing these blocks, successfully again.

But what I do have a problem with is both of those blocks are displaying on my main forum sidebar, which I do not want. I've got 19 potential blocks that I will be sending to the 19 different subforums and I don't want all 19 of them displaying on the main forum page.

In the screenshots below I'll show the configuration I've got. I've got the correct "filter blocks" code for the two blocks and forums (right?) and then I'll show you how both of these blocks are displaying on my main forum page, but then filter out in the subforums correctly. I've even attached a screenshot of where neither of my filtered blocks are showing in the unrelated forums, that is working correctly also. I just don't want these blocks to show on my main forum home.

Thanks for your help on this.

ooh, I think I might have found the solution. I've added "forumdisplay" to the Filter Blocks by Pages so it won't show on forum.php

I think it's working now

On another note, oddly enough it still shows on the showthread page (which is great!) even though I didn't specify that.

Sorry if that was your intended instruction all along, I just assumed that the "filter by forum" would have taken care of all of that.

Cheers

First please update the mod to 1.5.2 as there is abug in 1.5.1

Second yes if you enable the block for forum say 13 then the block will show up on the forum display and on its threads. It is intended.

Thanks

My apologies.
I must have misunderstood the product notes.

I'm still confused though about the versions.
The "gold" version is the paid one?
Where does one get it?

Maybe I'm a bit dense but I purchased the Gold version a couple months ago and can't find where to download the upgraded versions.

Anyone?

Sidebar Gold 2.2.8-Don't See It

Prior to upgrading to vBulletin 4.2.0, the Side Bar Gold version 2.2.7. functioned.

Following the vBulletin upgrade, the Side Bar Gold version 2.2.7. disappeared.

I have now updated to the Side Bar version 2.2.8, and the side bar, again, doesn't show.

Are there more explicit installation instructions for this?

Filter Blocks by Additional Usergroup ID's

Functionality question:

On the free version, when using the "Filter Blocks by Usergroup ID" option, it appears to only filter by the Primary Usergroup ID's, and not the Additional Usergroup ID's

Is this correct? If so, is this also the case for the Paid version?
