Am just trying this out on a test server (where I'm playing with the 3.6 beta)

Haven't decided on all the content - was thinking of adsense or maybe links to products at amazon, and then links to related sites. Can't really decide on content yet, but figured it would be good to have this kind of area.

I also think I'd have this on one style but not another, just giving users choice


What I was wondering, (because I get scared changing code )
was does this work if I want three or four contents

Is it just a case of adding another bit of code like this,
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
Column Content 2
</td>
</tr>

Also I was wondering if I could get a space between say content 1 and 2 so it apears like a box with content, some white space a box with more content.


Should I press install? its only a test page server right now so not sure.

Thanks very much, this was so easy to install and so offers me extra options for my site, and providing it works with the 3.6 gold I'll definitely use it

yes you just need to use the code you have added to put another row in the box.

to add a break between to areas, use


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

ensure that your template starts with <tr> and ends with </tr> otherwise it will not work.

Hey thanks for such a fast and well explained reply I'm guessing you've recognised a total non-coder.
off to play

Talking

Just back as I wanted to say thanks, because this is pretty awesome.

Wanted separation between some of the side bar content, so changed the code as suggested, right now it a short box of content and then a longer box of content, this fits pretty well and is totally what I wanted to achieve. This is only on my test server right now but definitely going to install it live once 3.6 is gold. <wanders off to find the install button>

Thanks again!!

Great hack.

Can't wait to see a "Right Colum" and a "forum display" hack for this on 3.6.

You can include this on any page in vB by adding the first section of code after
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

in the template and the second section before
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

The right side one is already released.

For that particular type of bullet, you would need to use
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

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

between each item and omit the
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

until the final item so your list would look like
Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You can put as many items as you wish within the list using this format.
