Sidebar Redux

[SailorEffinMoon]

I have one box in my right sidebar with the ID: NES. I only want that one box to show up on 1 of my boards and hidden elsewhere. Is it possible to do that?

Yes.

Add this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet.

#NES { display: none; }

Then add this to your global header, substituting the number in red with the board's numerical ID (comes after /board/ in the address bar when viewing that board).

<script type="text/javascript">
    if(pb.data('page').board){
        if(pb.data('page').board.id == 123)
            $('head').append('<style type="text/css">#NES { display: block; }</style>');
    }
</script>

Brian :

Just curious, with sidebar redux is there a way to add ProBoards elements in the sections? Like, $[shoutbox], latest posts (say 5), status updates and the likes?

You can only add things that already exist on the page, and if they require template variables to produce you need to move them into the sidebar using Javascript since there's no way for anything outside of the layout templates to render template variables.

That means that unless something exists in the Forum Wrapper template there's no way to make it show on every page.

Brian Okay, so there's no way to do if/else statements like:

{if $[current_user.group.id] == "4"}
       <li><a href="#" title="Gryffindor Common Room">Common Room</a></li>
       {else}
       <li><a href="#" title="Get Sorted">Get Sorted</a></li>
       {/if}

Or could you assist me with doing that if there is?

Teg: You can't use if statements in the plugin as it's not a template.

You can use them in an element within your Forum Wrapper template and move that element into your sidebar using Javascript, but that's it.

How exactly do I do that? And keep the same styling for said link(s)?

You can move anything with jQuery if it has an ID and you create a placeholder element with an ID to move it to.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
$('#placeholder-id-here').append($('#element-id-here'));
});
</script>

<div id="placeholder-id-here"></div>

<div id="element-id-here">
This div will be moved into the placeholder div by the Javascript code.
</div>

Okay, I'll try that Brian . Also, with the fixed sidebar, is there a way I can prevent it from going all the way up to the top on scroll? Just want it to be stuck right under the menu bar? Link

Increase the value in the Fixed Sidebar Spacing field in the Other Settings tab of the plugin until it's below your menu when scrolling.

Brian, thank you that worked. Is there a way to set an overflow for the sidebar so if the sidebar goes past a certain height it scrolls?

Sorry for all the questions lol

Hi there - Just a small issue with siderbar container appering slightly off to the rest of the forum theme.

Pretty common issue on my side. I am sure you had tons of post like this before, but perhaps you can advise me on what to do?
