add vbportal left menu`s to vba links homepage

[NuFFy]

how can i make the links index page show vbportal`s default side menus.
i have both vbalinks and vbagallery installed.
the gallery shows the left menu blocks but the links does not. just shows a blanck gap where the menu`s should be.

any help is much welcome.

I'm really not sure how easy it is to integrate vBportal with vBadvanced products.

well the gallery mod works fine...

anyhow i added $forumsideblocks to functions_links.php
under

function construct_adv_navbar($navbits, $index = 'false')
{
global $vboptions, $vba_options, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $bbuserinfo, $show, $pmbox;

so it looks like

function construct_adv_navbar($navbits, $index = 'false')
{
global $forumsideblocks,$vboptions, $vba_options, $vbphrase, $stylevar, $bbuserinfo, $show, $pmbox;

this displays the left side blocks but theres no space between the blocks and the start of the links page.
any idea how to add a space?

No clue... You would need to ask at vbportal.com.

ok ignore my post above.

iv figured it out and will share incase anyone searches for the problem i had.

open template ADV_LINKS

look for this

function rate(linkid)
{
window.open("reply.php?do=ratelink&linkid="+linkid, "rate", "toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, width=320, height=140");
}
-->
</script>

$header

$navbar

$linksnav


replace $navbar with this

<if condition="$show['leftcolumn']">
$spacer_close
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="page" valign="top" style="padding:0px 0px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px" width="160">$forumsideblocks</td>
<td class="page" valign="top" style="padding:0px">
<else />
<div style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]">
<div class="page"style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div align="center" style="width:160px; text-align:$stylevar[left]; padding:0px 0px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">$forumsideblocks</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="100%">
<div style="padding:0px">
</if>
$spacer_open
</if>


so it looks like this


function rate(linkid)
{
window.open("reply.php?do=ratelink&linkid="+linkid, "rate", "toolbar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=yes, width=320, height=140");
}
-->
</script>

$header

<if condition="$show['leftcolumn']">
$spacer_close
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="page" valign="top" style="padding:0px 0px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px" width="160">$forumsideblocks</td>
<td class="page" valign="top" style="padding:0px">
<else />
<div style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]">
<div class="page"style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]">
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<div align="center" style="width:160px; text-align:$stylevar[left]; padding:0px 0px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">$forumsideblocks</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="100%">
<div style="padding:0px">
</if>
$spacer_open
</if>
