Sidebar Redux

[R4ph89]

New issue that I found with my sidebar. One of my affiliates commented on the fact that two of my cells are butt up against each other, whereas the rest are spaced out normally. What could be causing this?

In the plugin settings you have the Left Sidebar Spacing field set to 0px which is causing those two containers to show next to each other.

Set this to 10px and they'll all share the same spacing.

That did it. Now, if I wanted to add my affiliates plugin to my sidebar, how would the code for that work?

You'd need to use Javascript to move the container to your sidebar, similar to the Move Shoutbox script.

If the container for your affiliates has a unique ID or class you can target that in the Javascript portion of the code instead of what's currently specified.

When logged out there is a box on the side bar I put a join here link in a while back.
my problem is I cant find it any where to edit it. its not visible when logged in. I cant see any where in the admin or sidebar setting to edit it. but I defiantly have done it before.
Any pointers please

It looks like it's in the Announcements tab of the settings for your Recently Updated Threads Sidebar plugin rather than the Sidebar Redux plugin. You should be able to find the HTML that produces it there.

It appears that some are seeing the two sidebars in different sizes. I see the left side as smaller than the right, the right taking up the entire length of the page whereas the left is half of that. I'm using Chrome. The other admin is using Firefox and they appear the both be as long as the page. We thought that maybe it was a Chrome/Firefox thing but someone else using Firefox sees it the same way I do. Another user has reported using IE and sees them the same length.

Thoughts?

Both of your containers are the same height on my end in both Chrome and Firefox. Their height is always determined by the content you place within them, and since both Twitter feed widgets have an explicit height specified in their inline CSS both should be the same height in every case.

Tagging is a function of BBCode which is only applicable to certain areas of the forum. Unfortunately there's no way for me to make BBCode work in the plugin, so it's not possible to tag a user using the @ symbol. You'd need to manually create a link to their profile using HTML.

Hi there.

I am trying out a new theme by Smangii called Coastline (smangii.proboards.com/thread/40266/coastline) but it doesn't seem to acknowledge the existence of the plugin at all. There is no sidebar, but nothing else appears to be out of the ordinary. Can you help?

My forum is pearlshipping-vault.boards.net/. (Said theme is currently set to staff only)

Thanks.
