Sidebar Redux

[literaryadmin]

Help! I want the sidebar on this forum: brickcavemedia.proboards.com/ to look like the sidebar on this forum: literary-paradise.freeforums.net/

On the Brick Cave Media one, it appears to be hiding under the banner.... How do I fix this? I don't remember what I did on Literary Paradise, or if I even had that problem...

They both appear the same to me. Did you already figure this out?

No...The top of the shoutbox is still hidden behind the banner... it looks like this on 2 different computers I've tried so far...


EDIT:
I tihink I figured it out! Something seems to be screwy with the banner! The width's not resizing with the browser....

I see what you mean now. I had to resize my browser window so that it had less width to accommodate your forum.

Add this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet.

header { overflow: hidden; }

That worked! Thank you!!

I used the code you provided to remove the padding but it's still there in the title boxes, do you know why?


#sidebarr-left > .container > .content-box {
padding: 0px !important;
border-width: 0px;
}

#sidebarr-left > .title-bar > .title-bar h2 {
padding: 0px !important;
border-width: 0px;
}

Molly Jepson, your second one is looking for a title bar within a title bar that's a direct child of the sidebar itself. The selector won't target anything the way you have it typed.

You'll want to use this.

#sidebarr-left > .container > .title-bar h2

[Molly Jepson]

Perfect, it works now. (I'm still a bit new to CSS). Thank you!

Hi Brian,

I've ran into trouble with the plugin. In my admin panel with the sidebar redux, I have the "Recent Threads" container above my twitter feed but when I save changes and view the board, the recent threads is still at the bottom below the "Credits" bar.

Here's my board: artistic-designs.proboards.com/

Can you help me? 

Thanks, 
Mackenzie

Looks fine to me, mackenzieh. Did you already get it figured out?

Your Recent Threads container is showing below the shoutbox on my end.

[mackenzieh]

Yes, I figured it out.

Ruley, you have two copies of the plugin enabled on your forum at the moment. Try disabling the one you're not using.

Hi, was wondering if there's anyway possible to have a link in the plugin? Like "click here" leads to a specific url? I'm really new to CSS coding and am not sure how I would do that with your specific plugin/if it can even be done to begin with. Sorry if this question's been asked before.

[Brian]

Vicious Vixen, you'll need to use HTML if you want to add a link. Specifically, you'll use the anchor tag.
