Sidebar Redux

[gb9454]

Hello Brian. Sorry, but is that the limit for each sidebar or for all sidebars in the forum's database?
Thank you.

Thank you.

The plugin as a whole. All of the data you save within a plugin is combined together and saved as a hash in the forum's database. That hash has to be within the byte size limit for that part of the forum's database or you'll receive the error about the limit being exceeded.

Thanks Brian

Is it possible to have a spoiler tag (where it expands when clicked to show more information) on the sidebar?

Yes, but you have to manually create it from scratch using JavaScript.

You can technically have it anywhere. It's not something that's specific to this plugin.

Could you send me what the code to use for it would be? Brian

I would recommend posting in Coding Help for something like that.

Hello, bai here on a different account because I can't access the old one.

I am having a spacing issue with this plugin Brian . Everything is way too far apart and messing around with the pixel values inside your plugin haven't helped one bit. Is there a way I can fix this? (Also, is there a way this plugin can support the Styled Usernames Plugin?)




I'm also using a board remodel code. In case this helps, here it is

CSS

/* For Divided Boards List Mod by Smangii*/



.dividedBoard:first-child {

margin-top: 20px;

}

.dividedBoard:last-child {

margin-bottom: 20px !important;

}

.dividedBoard {

display: inline-block;

margin-top: 0;

margin-left: 20px;

margin-right: 20px;

margin-bottom: 20px;

}

.dividedBoard > .divided-title-bar {

background-color: @container_outer_border_color;

background-image: @title_bar_background_image;

background-attachment: @title_bar_background_attachment;

background-repeat: @title_bar_background_repeat;

background-position: @title_bar_background_position;

border: @title_bar_border;

.rounded-corners(@title_bar_border_radius);

}



/* Mod - Merged Categories */

.boards > .title-bar { border-radius: 0px; }

.boards > .first { border-radius: @title_bar_border_radius; }

.boards > .content { border-bottom-width: 0px; border-radius: 0px; }

.boards > .content.last { border-bottom-width: @content_border_width; border-radius: @content_border_radius; }

You need to use HTML to accomplish this.

The collapse functionality seems to be working when I click on the title bar of each of your sidebar containers.

I did notice you're using "welcome" as the ID for your first one. As stated in the FAQ tab of the plugin's settings you should give that one another ID. Otherwise it'll appear differently than the others due to that ID being reserved for another element on the page.

This is likely because in your Forum Wrapper layout template the $[header] and $[footer] variables are outside of the element that dictates the spacing between your forum's contents and the sides of your browser. I wouldn't be able to determine exactly why it appears that way without seeing it firsthand, but it's usually the case 99% of the time.

You would need to manually type the HTML for the username link into the sidebar exactly how it normally appears on the forum, after which the Styled Usernames plugin would likely see it the same as any other username on the forum and style it accordingly.

There's no way for the sidebar to automatically obtain these links as plugins are not capable of utilizing layout template variables as shown in your screenshot where $[current_user.avatar] renders as plain text.

Okay the welcome thingy, i noticed it too. Thanks for pointing that out, I was wondering why it was doing that, now I know. lol...the html. I dont quite understand it. :? ha. I am still learning all about that stuff.



 Nevermind... I got it to work. thanks for the link!!!

Hey there guys

for my forum, wwhefedv2.proboards.com

I'm currently working on a new layout and was wondering with the sidebars if there's a way to move them further out without forcing me to change the width of the forum itself.

Edit: also is there a way to make it start with the categories because it's starting at the top with the tabbed table I'm making.

The HTML structure of the sidebars doesn't really allow for them to be relocated in that manner. Sorry.

Adjusting your forum width is the only thing you can really do to change how close to the sides of the browser the sidebars are.

Your plugins should appear on the page in the same order that they're listed in Plugins > Manage, so placing the tabbed table plugin before Sidebar Redux should keep it outside of the sidebars. If this is not the case, try reordering your plugins in Plugins > Manage and see if it makes a difference. If that doesn't work I recommend posting in the Support Board.

Ok will test that out.
