Is there a way, to edit Style 2 (No title bar, inner border color)? I would like to make the inner border transparent, so that only the content is visible, nothing else.

There's CSS in the first post that you can place in your style sheet to do that.

I have 1.3.1 side bar on my forum & it has really been working great. One of the thing on the side bar is a live feed of CNN that you click & can get the latest news. All of a sudden it stopped working. I am sure it is something I have done but I am a newbie (& not a coder) at all this I don't know what to do to fix it. Every thing else works just fine. Can you help?

The error that's showing is that the URL is not a valid feed. It looks like you're using a feed widget for an RSS feed, so you'd need the URL from one of the following categories instead of just "cnn.com" - www.cnn.com/services/rss/

Thank you, I will see if I can figure it out from there.

Is there a way that I can hide the side bar off my home page only so that it doesn't take up any of the wrapper either and have the 1st side bar positioned under the banner so that my banner isn't getting cut off?

Thank you

hello.
I have used the correct code suggested to remove the sidebar on custom pages. This works great, removing my left sidebar I currently have no right sidebar)
However, I would now like to still have a sidebar on my custom pages, but filled with different material. SO I thought perhaps it could be possible to put this other content on the right sidebar. Then disable the left one whilst in custom pages and the right when on normal forum pages/home page etc.
Is that possible?

[strewth78]

think ive kinda solved it already.

i copied the same code for the left into my main header and forums headers, but hiding the right side, whilst the custom pages hide the left.

only problem is it has both sidebars whilst on inbox or the list of members etc.  not sure how to solve that.
if i set it to global, it hides the right on all pages including the custom pages, thats why i tried main header & forum headers rather than global.

Hide the custom page specific containers by using CSS in your global header to target the IDs you give them in the plugin's settings.

<style type="text/css">
/* Hide custom page specific containers */
#yourID1 { display: none; }
#yourID2 { display: none; }
#yourID3 { display: none; }
</style>

Then use CSS at the top of the HTML tab of your custom page to hide the regular ones and unhide the custom page ones.

<style type="text/css">
/* Global containers you wish to hide go here */
#yourID4 { display: none; }
#yourID5 { display: none; }
#yourID6 { display: none; }

/* Custom page specific containers you wish to show go here */
#yourID1 { display: block !important; }
#yourID2 { display: block !important; }
#yourID3 { display: block !important; }
</style>

The general idea is that every container will be in your sidebar at once on every page, but the ones you don't want to show on specific pages will be hidden while only the ones you want to see on those pages will show.

Thanks.
I did a you said, and globally I now have only the left sidebar visible and on the custom pages it shows only the right, which was the intention, except for some reason on the custom pages it places the right sidebar more or less in the middle of the page, not on the right, leaving about 30% of the right side blank. I've gone through my other codes trying to figure out what could be conflicting with this CSS you gave me, but clearly something is corrupting it. Any chance you could take a quick look to see?

Add this to the CSS in the HTML tab of your custom pages.

.sidebarr-main { table-layout: auto; }

Is there anyway to have the sidebar positioned under my banner Brian? It's cutting off my Banner and so I need it inline with board lists

Thank you

How does It align on top of the banner? i think there is Problems with ur templates

[toosk3tchy]

first of all I wanted to hide my sidebar from the home page so I inserted the relevant code into home via layout templates. my home page is perfect as it needs no side bar but...

I want my shoutbox in the sidebar when you are viewing sub board categories, threads and even writing thread but before I even insert my shoutbox the side bar is aligned to that the top edge of the side bar is in line horizontally with the top edge of my banner. I want the top edge of my side bar in line horizontally with the top edge of my category list. I have turned move banner off and its still not moving
