Sidebar Redux

[cynderangel]

I need help on this, I try doing this on my own but it just confuses me. ( I am new with this also.)

Where do we exactly put the code in for the homepage code? So far I see is their is no specific place for it, I try the very top of the code and it doesn't work, I even tried to follow what you explain above but it doesn't seem to work. I am lost here.

P.s I am trying to add my own shoutbox on the left side.

Edit: I realized that you said to the bottom... I will try this.

Edit2: I tried and did what you said so far, its still not working.

The homepage-only code goes in your forum's global header, found in Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Header & Footer.

If you want to move your shoutbox into the sidebar use the Javascript code from the Move Shoutbox thread, but instead of adding the move-shoutbox div element add a Style 3 container to your sidebar with the ID move-shoutbox and it will move it for you.

Hey, in the "Content" box, what would I have to type/insert if I wanted paragraphs for each line?

Use a <br /> tag to insert a line break.

Example:

Paragraph 1 goes here.
<br /><br />
Paragraph 2 goes here.

Result:

Paragraph 1 goes here.

Paragraph 2 goes here.

You'd need to use the Recently Updated Thread Sidebar plugin in conjunction with this one. There's instructions in that plugin's help thread to make it show inside the Sidebar Redux plugin.

How do you create clickable links on the sidebar? Kind of like the navigation bar.

You'd use the HTML <a> tag.

<a href="LINK URL HERE">Link text here</a>

Brian Thanks! How would I get each link to go to the next line?

For example:

<a href="http://mlbdiamonddynasty.proboards.com/board/17/rowdy">Rowdy</a>

<a href="http://mlbdiamonddynasty.proboards.com/board/15/got-runs">Got The Runs</a>


After entering this the content read like this:

Rowdy Got The Runs

I want it to look like this:

Rowdy
Got The Runs

jcgenob,

You can put a <br /> in between them, like so:


<a href="http://mlbdiamonddynasty.proboards.com/board/17/rowdy">Rowdy</a>
<br />
<a href="http://mlbdiamonddynasty.proboards.com/board/15/got-runs">Got The Runs</a>

Brian Lynx Last question hopefully. How would I center the content in the sidebar? Thanks!

There are a 3 of ways that I know of: the <center> tag, inline styling, and using a class:

<center> tag:

<center>Centered text here.</center>


Inline Styling:

<div style="text-align: center;">Centered text here.</div>


Using a Class (text placement):

<div class="myclass">Affected text here.</div>

then, at the bottom of your stylesheet (or global header, but surrounded in <style> tags), you'd add something like (for the text styling):

.myclass {
  text-align: center;
}


Using a Class takes both steps above, but I believe is the preferred way. Let the HTML place the text, but let your CSS take care of its styling.

I wouldn't use the centre tag. It's deprecated in HTML5 which I believe PB uses and v6 definitely will. It still works though but it will affect the ratings on Google.
