Sidebar Redux

[pika1995]

this works great, except i'm having one minor issue.

testforumos.proboards.com/

all my containers are aligned to the left but i want the sidebar's container titles to be centered. is there a way to keep all my other containers to the left ("General" "The Studio" "The Sandlot") but have the Sidbar container titles centered ("Find Us" "About Us")?

EDIT: I figured it out. haha just some changing i needed to do in the global footer.

It seems I have another question. I've linked the staff names to their profiles, but, how do I color the names in correspondence with their group? See, my GMods' group is purple, but the name of the GMod in the staff box is colored blue (since I made it where Links are shown blue). I want the name of the GMod to be purple, but every time I try the link settings just make it Blue.

I know Brian has said that he doesn't know how to make a single container collapsible, but did anyone ever come up with a way yet?

Assuming they have the same colored names on every theme of your forum the easiest way to do this would be to manually add in the color using inline CSS on the link.

<a href="URL TO PROFILE" style="color: #00af33;">Username</a>

I might actually know how to do this now that I've played with jQuery a little more.

Replace the bit in green with the ID you've given your container in the plugin's settings.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#container-id > .title-bar').click(function(){
        if($(this).parent().children('.content').is(':visible'))
            $(this).parent().children('.content').slideUp();
        else
            $(this).parent().children('.content').slideDown();
    });
});
</script>

Where do I put this?

Global Header.

Thanks. That works. Is there any way to have it default to the closed position?

Add $('#container-id > .content').hide(); before the line with green text in the code I provided, once again substituting the text in green with the ID of your container.

Perfect!!! Thanks!

Brian, I'm not sure this can be done, but I thought I'd ask.

I know there's a widget for custom pages for Top Board Posters.


Is it possible to add that widget to your SideBar, as I'm not really interested in adding a custom page.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Custom page widgets can only exist on custom pages at this time. Sorry.

Darn, , but thank you.


Could I request a plug-in? Is that ok?

You don't need anyone's permission to request a plugin.

Yes, in most cases I know that. But I just wanted to be sure, since you said that info exists only on custom pages. I wanted to clarify that PB doesn't necessarily want to keep it that way and placing it somewhere else would be ok.
