Brian, I have a question regarding the sidebar redux.

Is it possible, to make it so that the sidebar only shows up in certain categories, not site wide?

Yes.

Just use the hiding code in that post in the header of a category you want it hidden in, but remove the if statement on the third line and remove the if statement's closing brace on the line before the closing </script> tag.

Ok, I have another problem. lol I forgot that I use the sidebar on some themes already for the shoutbox. I'm going to have to make a choice, correct?

You could make the shoutbox movement code operate under the same conditions by only moving using the shoutbox movement code in the headers of categories that do not have the sidebar hidden.

I did something wrong. I added that code to the headers of the various categories and to the main header, but it still showed up.

Its ok though, because I think I might be better off just adding what I want to the one category.

Just thought I'd experiment a bit since the sidebar is a wonderful plug in. I like giving members the option of where the shout is, by selecting a theme that has it in the sidebar if they choose.

Thanks for your help and I'll bookmark this thread just in case.

I dunno which forum you're testing it on, so I can't offer much more advice past what I've given unless I see it.

I know. I'm trying to do something that I tried back when I first joined PB and I just encountered the same problem I had back then (nothing on PB's end), so I'm not sure I'll keep what I'm trying.

I'm trying to add Images for the titles of each sidebar, I can't get the image to align to fill the box. The image also flows over the box. I tried to make the box bigger but it didn't help.

I have no experiance with CCS or HTML (Clearly... I don't know which one I'm using)

The image i'm using is 198 Pixels so I'm not sure why a 200px isn't big enough?

I'm using this at the moment in the Content Boxes Title, could you edit it so it's right?

<img src="http://i285./ll51/shunwei/PLOT-2.png" border="0" alt=" photo PLOT-2.png">

symor, can you provide a link to the forum in question?

Ofcourse, sorry I intended too but completely went over my head!

Thanks, symor.

Since you want to use an image in the Plot container's title bar you'll need to get rid of the extra padding and height declarations for it so that there's no empty space near the image. You've already given it the ID "PLOT" in the sidebar plugin's settings, so now all you have to do is add this to the bottom of Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet to target that container specifically.

#PLOT > .title-bar { font-size: 0px; min-height: 0px; padding: 0px !important; }
#PLOT > .title-bar h2 { font-size: 0px; line-height: normal !important; }

[symor]

And that's perfect. Thank you!

Sorry for double post,

How do I do the same for the content box? The image in the box also does the same thing.

Use this alongside the previous CSS:

#PLOT > .content { padding: 0px !important; font-size: 0px; }

Hey there Brian

I am sure you have likely answered this in the past, but 97 pages is hard to sift through. But we added the sidebar to our site and it basically squished everything together. I tried expanding the board width like it was suggested in the FAQ, but it didn't do anything to fix the issue. Is there any reason for that or any line of code I should be looking to alter? Also, I'm a complete noob at coding. So laymans terms would be best. Hahaha

Can you link to the forum in question? I can't imagine why increasing the width wouldn't remedy the problem.
