Sidebar Redux

[PF]

Hi, Brian.

I would like to place the sidebar redux inside one certain board instead of on the homepage. I have a Cbox in the sidebar and don't want guests able to post in it, so I want to place it inside a board that is accessible to members only.

How do I do that?

Thank you.

I've answered this for you previously.

Gap wanted under sidebars.

I'm trying to create a gap under the top left and top right sidebars. I'd like to keep the Style 3 container if possible.

Thank you

Style 3 is meant to have no bottom margin in case you want to move something that already has a margin into it such as the forum shoutbox or another existing container.

The easiest solution would be to place the contents of the first containers of each of your sidebars inside a div with the class container. This class is used everywhere on the forum to add a margin to the bottom of each container.

<div class="container">
    Your content here
</div>

Thank you, Brian.

I've been playing around with various settings, is there now a way to increase the space under the sidebars? Thank you.

You can manually specify a margin instead of using the class.

<div style="margin-bottom: 30px;">
    Your content here
</div>

I installed this and it's working well. Only problem...

How do I enter line breaks and such to properly format the contents? Right now, it's just one stream of consciousness formatted text. It recognizes spaces, but that's about it.

LOL!

Anyone have basic text entry tips?

Update: Well, it seems I have to learn a little bit of HTML. The line breaks were easy. "<br>"

Also, it seems I already knew all the basics but didn't realize I knew all the basics just from my online posting experience. Now, I've got it formatted exactly the way I wanted.

Yep! The only prerequisite as far as entering content goes is some minor HTML knowledge.

HTML is thankfully pretty basic to the point where searching online for "html" followed by a basic description of the formatting you're looking for will typically yield results.

Is it possible for each board in my forum to get their own dedicated sidebar?

Let's say I have a forum and in the forum, I created Category A. Under Category A, I have boards A1 and A2. Each represents a separate fantasy football league, for example.

Is it possible for the admin to create:

1. a sidebar leaderboard for board A1 for the participants of the A1 league,
2. a separate leaderboard for board A2 for the participants of the A2 league, and
3. a separate general sidebar for the main homepage

It's possible, but would take a lot of coding to accomplish in the plugin's current state since it doesn't natively support it. For that reason I don't currently have an available solution for what you're looking for.

Thank you for replying.

if you happen to think of a solution, let me know. Right now, I’m thinking of just having all leaderboards in separate “boxes” on the sidebar. So, everyone sees everyone else’s leaderboard.

Morning Brian

I'm not sure what I did wrong and as I am worried about messing up something really important by tinkering with it. It's just the sidebars aren't where I was hoping to have them. Link: fadingrealms.proboards.com/

Also I would like to have tabs in the sidebar for staff and other important info, but I wouldn't know where to start.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Based on how the plugin is supposed to work the sidebars are appearing in the expected location.

You'll need to find a code that produces tabs if you'd like tabs in the sidebar.
