Hi, i was wondering if i could get what i write to look like how it is writen in the box

If i write a sentance and press enter twice to give some space between lines like this:
Something.

Something.

Something.

I get this:
Something. Something. Something.

I was wondering if there was something i can do to fix this. Thanx for help and awesome plugins.

The sidebar uses HTML to render its content, so to insert a line break you'll need to use the <br /> tag.

HTML:

Something.<br /><br />

Something.<br /><br />

Something.

Result:

Something.

Something.

Something.

Hello, I installed this plugin onto my website and for some reason it is putting the sidebar inside of the border around my forum. I want the sidebars to be outside the border around my forum. Is there any way I can get that? Thank you!!

Do you have a link to the forum in question?

It is erebos.boards.net I enabled the plug-in because it wasn't looking right. Would you like me to enable it so you can see what it looks like?

I've got it. Thanks, though.

One thing you can try is changing #wrapper to #sidebarr-wrapper at the bottom of your style sheet. That way the border encompasses only the center of the forum. However, the border will no longer surround the footer information.

I'm probably doing something really stupid, but I can't get the sidebars to show on like the side of the page, instead of so close to my forum categories.

I just tried that and the border only wrapped around the left side of my forum, leaving my right side empty. :/ I like the way it looks with the footer information excluded from the border, but now it isn't going around the right side of my forum. I switched my code back to the one I had before, but if you could perhaps figure out why my border isn't surrounding the right side that would be great! Thank you for your patience and help so far!

You'd probably want to use one of the side table plugins on the library if you want it on the side of the page. My plugin doesn't do that.

Sorry, I was mistaken. Try #sidebarr-center and remove the width property from your border around forum CSS.

That's because the forum is the same width as the browser window in that screenshot. The sidebar is still attached to the forum, not the side of the window.

So there's no way I can fix mine? I can't seem to find another plug in that would work.

You could set your forum to 99% or 100% width if you want to emulate what's in the screenshot.

Otherwise, if you want one that's actually attached to the side of the window I recommend one of these: proboards.com/library/plugins?search=peekaboo&category=&sort=newest&limit=10&view=list

How can I insert the current user avatar, username and money amount?

I'm not familiar with the Monetary System plugin's variables so I wouldn't be able to tell you how to get the money amount, but you can use this in your global header to get the username and avatar.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.insert-username').html(pb.data('user').name);
$('.insert-avatar').addClass('avatar').html(pb.data('user').avatar);
});
</script>

Then you'd use the following two codes wherever you want them to show.

<span class="insert-username"></span>

<div class="insert-avatar"></div>
