Whats the best way to do this? I read in the manual that this could be easy if using CMPS but didnt fully understand. I just want a left column throughout the site for ads.

Thanks

You have to do it like the manual says. It requires editing a lot of the vB PHP files.

I did it in the header and footer templates without too much trouble but in order to make the site confirm to the width, I nested all the content into another table and added the extra <td> there

Yes, you can do it that way, but you aren't going to be able to use CMPS modules.

There are lots of solutions to just add a side-column to vBulletin, check on vbulletin.org.

Ive checked all that garbage. I havent found any solution that looks like it really works right.

Are you looking to add a module(s) or just your own content?

Ideally I would like the entire site to have a left or right column like the vbadvanced CMPS homepage does now. I plan to put small modules or boxes in this column just like on the home page for ads, navigation, etc.

I did that on one of my sites.

I had it on another site until I upgraded to v2 and everything went FUBAR.
I'm waiting for vB 3.5 RC1 to be released to work on it again.
I followed the instructions at
http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewusermanual&productid=4&pageid=6
and it was pretty easy in version 1. I'm having a harder time with v2.

I was able to add a left column using vBa 2 RC1 and vB 3.5.0 b4.
Still unable to add a left column to my forumhome page under vB 3.0.7.
I think the only hope is to install v1.

I'm going to wait until vB 3.5.0 RC1 or Gold then reinstall everything.
