 Todge What about adding it to custom pages??

I've not used custom pages, so I'm not 100% sure how this would work, but try putting this somewhere in the header..

<div id="RT-parent" style="position: absolute; $[plugin.settings.left_or_right]: 0px; display: none;">
   <div id="RT-Master" class="container">
       <div class="RTTitle-Bar" id="announcement-title">Announcements</div>
       <div class="RTCell" id="announcements-cell"></div>
       <div class="rtcell-spacer"></div>
       <div class="RTTitle-Bar" id="recent-threads-title">Recent Threads</div>
       <div class="RTCell" id="recent-threads-cell"></div>
   </div>
</div>

The plugin 'should' pick it up and add the threads.

Hmm, I had it in my Global Footer and it was working but now it's not

[Todge]

Try moving it to your Global Header.

Why not both? *mexican music*

Ok, sorry for useless post....

Is there by chance a way to make it so certain boards do not show up when posted in? Not that the recent threads sidebar disappears when you view those boards, but so threads created in those boards are not added into the recent threads sidebar? I'm hoping to blot out my advertisements board because I want the threads in my recent threads sidebar to be relevant to my members, not just guest after guest advertising their site lol

That is already an option in the latest version.

You should have a tab 'Restricted Boards' in the plugin settings, you can choose which boards are omitted from the post list there.

Ohh wow I'm a dummmmmmy. Thank you very much for pointing that out =)

[Todge]

No worries..

I have done all the necessary bits... at least I think I have but nothing at all is showing up... Do I have to change the width of the forum to a set width rather than a %?

I have put in something to the extra cell and that is not showing up either.

UPDATE : It is working on some of the pages but not on the home page and they have disappeared off the edge of the page....  just going to change width and see what happens... ok now we don't have anything disappearing but still things not quite right...  oh and still nothing on the home page.

Hmmm.. Can you please try this version

[scifikriss]

WOOHOOO! that worked... and I can also use the scroll function which is why it is so far up the page.

Thank you for all your help! <3

You already have the CSS to create all the effects, so all you really need is the CSS selectors, they are all listed in the first post of this thread, but here the are again..

#RT-parent
The containing cell surrounding the entire sidebar.. (This only applies if you do NOT fill in the Container ID field in the plugin.

#RT-Master
As above, but also applies when sidebar is relocated.

#extra-title, #announcement-title & #recent-threads-title
The title bars of each of the cells.

#extra-cell, #announcements-cell & #recent-threads-cell
The information cells themselves.

There are also class names that cover all of the cells..

.RTTitle-Bar
This class covers ALL title bars when you select not to have them match your forum styling.

.RTCell
This class covers ALL of the information cells when you select not to have them match your forum styling.

.rtcell-spacer
The spacer cell, changing the height of this cell will change the space between the cells in the sidebar.

That should cover everything, but if you have any questions, or if I have forgotten anything, feel free to yell.

Todge Can you put this info into the first post?  it would make life so much easier... just had to trawl through the whole thread just to find it..

thank you...

Kriss

[scifikriss]

Being cheeky here but is there anyway of being able to add more extra cells? I would like to have one for Links and I like your plugin rather than the other one... I found it a bit more complicated...

Thanks in advance

How many extra cells are you thinking of?

I could add an extra cell to the plugin, or it may be simpler to add extra cells with a footer code.

[scifikriss]

I personally just wanted one more... but maybe 2 for others.

As to adding with Footer code not too sure about that... yes I do know HTML and CSS but anything else and I am lost...

And thank you for adding the info <3
