Sidebar Redux

[Brian]

Julian D, it sounds like you need to use a pixel width for your forum rather than a percentage width if that's what you aim to accomplish. You can change your forum's width in Themes > Colors & Theme Creator to something like 1000px or another number of your choosing and it will never resize so long as the number ends in px.

Alternatively you can still use percentage width but set a minimum width for your forum using CSS so that the forum can stretch as wide as it wants, but can only shrink up until a certain point. Adding this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet will accomplish that.

#wrapper { min-width: 1000px; }

This line of CSS abides by the same rules I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Thank you so much Brian, you always have the answers and make it clear how to fix things.

I am struggling to make the side bar redux plugin work. For some reason, not all the tables will separate from each other, and one of mine keeps turning transparent. Please help!!

Also, my coding skills are rough and I'm new to version 5, so I'm sorry if i don't understand things on the first go

Hi, thinking,  I'm sure Brian will have an answer for you. However, per a previous reply, he works Sunday thru Thursday. He's off today and tomorrow.

After a quick look, I'm thinking some of your tags are not properly closed. I'm seeing an opening <script> tag (for your drop down I imagine) but no closing </script>, could you have a look at that? I'm very honestly thinking that everything might be mashed together because you're missing closing tags in a few different places. So if you have a look at your boxes where you are missing the bottom spacing, you might be missing </div> tags.

Note, this is just as I'm able to see it from your source code, so not completely reliable for me.

Thank you, it worked!!!

That looks much better, thinking, glad you got it worked out.

Hi,

In the template, which html code do I copy and paste into the content field so that it shows the most recent posting?

[Joachim]

PF, I'm pretty sure you need this plugin for that:

Hi joachim.

Yes, I tried that one but it didn't position itself the way the sidebar redux does. It looked like it was floating and wasn't even with the forum like the Sidebar Redux is. I like the way the Sidebar Redux looks better.

Also, I'd rather have the most recent posts showing than the recent thread.

Hi, PF, you can place the recently updated threads plugin inside of the sidebar ~ as I have done.

Todge has the directions for doing so in the recent threads plugin help thread in the O/P ~ support.proboards.com/thread/508294/updated-threads-sidebar

Hi Luv,

Yes, I tried that but it didn't look like I wanted.

I just want the Sidebar Redux plug-in with the recent post instead of recent thread.

Hi brian,

Is there a way I can put the most recent post in this plug-in? I don't want the Recent Thread plug-in.

Thanks.

[Brian]

The Recent Thread plugin is the only way, PF. There should be instructions in its thread to make it show inside your sidebar like the rest of your content boxes.

Hi Brian,

Yes, I did install it and I like it. I can see how having the posts wouldn't work because a post could be long or contain a video.

The only thing with it is all that extra space underneath the sidebar: Cafe Cinema


Do you have any suggestions on what to put there or what to do with that extra space?


Thanks.
