I tried this for calendar.php on just the monthly view to try it out, but it would only put a sidebar on the header that says the calendar name and gives the options such as "monthly view", etc. The calendar still was full size below the sidebar and header. What else needs to be done?

[Samir]

Tried it with all the different views in the calendar. It just won't work. Giving up.

[mindstool]

Yeah, I did this... and the page wouldnt show up at all... wouldnt even load *shrugs*

Think it had something to do with the define code? i dunno... but it wouldnt work for meh... I tried to do the right-hand column..

[Samir]

I didn't get that problem. It worked fine in the forums, but it wouldn't work right on the calendar where I really needed it.

Hrm, I've done this forum the forum index and it works with one issue. It's showing all the modules even though I've turned most of them off. The only ones on are left side "Online Users" and "Search" and center "Custom Page Content" yet I'm getting all of the blocks enabled.

Any ideas?

The only thing I can think of is to double-check code changes. Seems like something is missing/in the wrong place/etc.

I've noticed that if I put in the side bar to the forums -- for some reason the breadcrumb on the top of the page is messed up -- it's always displaying the last thread for some reason, anyone else have this problem

seems that the navbits or something is not being read properly -- any ideas?

Brian...? I don't know if IIstix ever found that nasty table code problem on his board or not. But, I'm having the exact same problem that's described here. The left column always shows up BELOW the forum when using all (default and custom) styles. I've checked every template edit I've made, thus far, and can't find anything I goofed up myself.

Both the header and nav bar show up perfectly.. then a (narrow) forumhome follows, with the left column under it. When I switch off the left column modules and switch on the right column modules, the forumhome area displays correctly with the right column beside it.

At first, I figured it was a messed up <td> or <tr> or <table> code somewhere in a module. So I selected only ONE left module (the search box) and it showed up at the bottom, like before. Then I switched it by turning off that module and activated a different one -- with the same messed up result. Seems to me that this eliminates a coding problem inside one of the left-column modules.

What would you suggest I try now to find the goof? I've looked into other templates that should be shown on this page .... but I just can't find it. (I've been at this now for 4 days straight, after giving up on it for a while, two weeks ago.)

The way these things all piece together, I'm really getting lost in the tables-within-a-table and such. Can you think of any way to narrow down the possibilities?

(Thanks for the great portal, this is an awesome package.)

Thanks Brian. I was just wondering about this one myself.

Also, I would be interested in being able to get the sidemenu's in PP as well.

@axecity - If you want to have it everywhere in photopost, I would look at header-inc.php and modify that to set up a table. That's where your vbulletin header and footer get pulled in so it seems you could follow the same pattern they've used for those and you could manage it all in one fell swoop. Do you think that would work?

Photopost Gallery and Classifieds have identical header-inc.php, so I expect that Reviewpost is the same. BTW, it's "seamless."

Regards,

Matt

outstanding it works perfectly for me.

Thanks for the clear and concise directions in this link:

I'm currentley building my forums and have this sidebar on most pages. the only one giving me a problem is the showthread page. right now i have the default style i'm trying to apply this to and on this page the postbit overstretches the fixed 755 width.

any suggestions?

my problem exactly, did you find a solution?

[suryoyena]

i have this problem too !

[rodriguez]

Strangely, i got the news on the bottom of the forumhome.

Did i missed something ?

[rodriguez]

Forget, i found why it was messed up.

Thanks by the way

i have a problem... I try to integregate it with the forums but instead of showing on the left side, it shows at the bottom of the forum. What should i do? Btw, I am also using a different skin.... will that matter also?

It might be helpful to point someone to the link.
My guess is you simply don't have blocks turned on and off properly.

For you guys/gals having problems where the forums are showing up underneath the left column, try this: http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/show...18&postcount=8
