Sidebar on forum. Problems with same dir?

[rbl]

Hi!
I have my forum at the site's root so I renamed vBa index page to home.php
I followed the manual step by step and tried placing the sidebar on my forums but it doesn't work no matter if I change sidebar location, turn on/off all modules, etc.

The page indeed appears with the sidebar if I call it directly:
http://35mm.org/home.php?page=include
but my forum doesn't show it:
http://35mm.org/index.php?

Any idea what am I doing wrong? Thanks! =)

It looks like you missed one of the steps. Please try it again and if you're still having problems and would like to submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here I'll be glad to take a look.

I followed the instructions and what happens is that the left column appeard under the forums (central column), the right column (if those modules are ticked) appeard on the right, any ideas?

Sounds like you've got a problem with your tables. Try running a check on XHTML validity at w3.org and that should give you an idea of what the problem is.

thanks for the suggestion, it gave 11 errors, nothing obvious, the site in topic
http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1001
which has the left column gave 597 errors!!
you are welcome to have a look, I've checked and double checked the manuals instructions

thanks
the cmps_index.php is there too while I try and do it that way :)

thanks again

rechecked, cannot find out why this is happening, no matter where I put the custom content module L, C or R column I always get custom content with left column modules underneath, and then the right column in the correct position. Even with custom content o the left column with the display order set to 10 it still shows above the other left column modules......
it's driving me nuts

I am having the exact same problem...My site appears a bit different however the forumhome after the mod will not display correctly at all. Any suggestions?

Try looking for this code in your forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file:
if ($mods['identifier'] == 'custompage' AND $pages['template'])
{
$cusid = $mods['modid'];
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template($pages['template']) . '";');
}


Replace it with this:
if ($mods['identifier'] == 'custompage')
{
$cusid = $mods['modid'];
if ($pages['template'])
{
eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template($pages['template']) . '";');
}
}


And let me know if that solves the problem.

I am trying to integrate my CMPS Homepage into the forums homepage to see the forums you must go to www.outhouseforums.com/forums.php as you can see the custom content module will display correctly on the homepage but will not display at all on the forums home and if I change it to a left or right column ( I want it on the left) It totally messes up completely. I want the page to also display on the showthread and show post.I tried the above code and it didnt change anything. Any help would be appreciated.

I submitted a support ticket if that would help at all.
