I have the vBulletin sidebar setup on my sites home page...it contains things like forum activity (new threads. new posts, activity stream, etc)...and some advertisements.

If you're familiar with the sidebar...there's a tab that can be clicked on to hide/display the sidebar. I would like to disable this tab...so that users cannot hide the sidebar.

I've heard there are ways to do this via plug-in or coding...can someone please explain how to disable the sidebar tab so users cannot hide the sidebar?

Thank You

if you are using BOP5's sidebar anywhere, you can configure this by usergroup in the Settings -> Options -> Sidebar Anywhere by BOP5

I don't use the sidebar on any of my sites, but I've just had a look at a site that does and it looks like just adding the following to your additional.css template should do the trick.

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

Awesome! That was going to be my next question...where I can get the "sidebar anywhere" (I'm assuming it's a plug-in). I heard about it...and wanted to get it. Great to hear what I wanted to do can be done there.

Thanks very much Scott!

Thanks z3r0. I'll give it a try.

Does the "none" in the code mean that the sidebar can't be closed/hidden?

Thanks again.

Just an quick extra question about the "Sidebar Anywhere by BOP5" plugin (if anyone knows).

If I currently have multiple sidebar blocks setup on my home page (via the vB Blocks Manager)...will installing "Sidebar Anywhere by BOP5" over-ride threse already setup sidebar blocks?

Thanks

No. It just allows you options for where and how to display your existing sidebar.

Thank you.
