It's okay Brian - I resized the forum 1015px and it solved the issue with the signature banner size. I just have to make my site headers 707px wide now is all. At 7px I can probably just re-size them bigger rather than make them all again. I can't see them looking overly pixelated at stretching by 7px. If I'm not happy with my OCD, I'll just re-make them. LOL Thanks again.

I didn't see any of your signature images resized in the first place. Care to link me to somewhere they were?

They displayed at the full 500px on my screen.

I believe I'm doing something wrong or over looking something somewhere within the code; but I put it in, followed the few things to enable it, disabled the welcome header code, put in some content, enabled it, saved it, and it looks amazing; but my problem lies on the members and profile page. Instead of being at the top, they're in the middle of the page.

Please help, I have no idea what I could have done wrong; unless there is a limit as to how many content boxes one could have there but I highly doubt that; I'm also only using the left side, if that holds any sort of relevance.

NOOOOOOOO! I forgot to do valign="top" on the middle one. I didn't think of that. >_>

I'll fix that right away. Like, within the next hour right away. I wanted to add another feature anyways.

Solaris: I've updated the plugin to 1.1.0 to fix your problem.


Guide removed. Go download the newest version!

Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper

Move $[header] below your navigation tree div, so it looks like this:

            $[participated_threads_link]
            <div id="navigation-tree">
                $[navigation.tree]
            </div>
            $[header]

that just moved the nav tree to the top of the forum, i dont want to move it

how can i add the sidebars to just the thread list page

i tried by adding the header/footer info in the Board thing on the rite in Components but it added them to every page. i deleted the board thing in Components and theyre still on every page. i reinstalled the plugin and theyre still there

[Brian]

To move it into the same area as your forum, surround the table in your Global Header with <div id="header-container"> and </div>.

Then add the following code to your Global Footer:

<script type="text/javascript">
var headerc = document.getElementById('header-container');
var forumc = document.getElementById('sidebarr-center');
headerc.style.display = "none";
forumc.innerHTML = headerc.innerHTML + forumc.innerHTML;
var sidebarCheck = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
if(proboards.data("route").name != "board" && proboards.data("route").name != "home") {
for(sc=0;sc<sidebarCheck.length;sc++) {
if(sidebarCheck[sc].className == "sidebarr-right-td")
sidebarCheck[sc].style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>

The part in red hides it everywhere except the thread listing.

You should also resize those 1300px or so objects to 100% width so they don't break the boundaries.

Brian, i'm hoping that you can help with this little problem I have. I love the code and it works perfectly, the only thing is that the background of the sidebar boxes seems to be transparent for me when in Style 1. Is there a way to fix this?

i added both, now the nav tree doesnt span the whole forum width on the rite side

thenotablenook.freemessageboards.com/thread/22030/ghmry5458m547

i still wanted to keep the sidebars on the main page and add them to the thread list page only, i guess i said just add it to the thread list page. but i want both

and well heres what happened to the sidebars

You have several unclosed <font> and <center> tags in your content boxes. You need to add </font> and </center> after all of your titles and anywhere they're missing in the content area.

In my last post I told you to change the width of everything in your table that was 1300px to 100% so it didn't expand beyond the boundaries of the center. Read, yo.

I modified the code in my post so it would display on your forum's index as well.

Edit The nav tree is under the $[header]. Anything under the header gets stuck with your forum beside the sidebar. You'd have to move the header below it.

Wow, that really was a silly mistake on my part! Thank you so much for pointing that out

i changed it to 100%, i kept thinking it would span the whole page. the nav is fine but the welcome menu is wider

the sidebars dont show up anymore, and for some reason they load with threads for a long time and go away, the actual threads. they dont do that on any other pages

Sorry, there was supposed to be a && operator in there, not a ||. Fixed it for you.

If it's showing for a long time before disappearing, that's due to the page taking a while to load on your end. Since the hiding code is in the footer, the rest of the page has to load before it. I can't fix that, as that's dependent on the connection.

You have a million plugins as well, so there's that too.

[tunescool]

i cant even use this plugin if it has to load like that, i find it hard to believe that it should even show at all. it doesnt do it on any other page on the forum

and i wanted the sidebars rite where they were under the nav along side the forum body, not next to my table

[Brian]

What you're asking for is probably better off being done in the Layout Templates where you can control whether or not something displays before the page even loads.

This code is simply made to emulate Smangii's side tables in V5. Sorry if it doesn't meet your personal criteria, but the source for the code is editable if you feel you can make it work better with your layout. I've done all I can and I've told you how to do everything you requested.
