Left Column Hack

I installed this hack, now i am trying to modify it, and the html code will not work.

Which site did you install it at julia?

I did it on my test vb, it has vb skin, it is 3.6.0, i don't understand why i have this problem.

I can't help you on the test vB unless you give me acp access

Ok Julia I fixed it for you.

Just a note to all who may install the side column hack...
inside the cells, use regular html code for links and images.

Thank you Peggy, I am going to practice. Where can i learn more about regular html code, the only one i know was the one i used at first.

ok, i know that i need to put
<td align="center'' if i want the content inside the column centered, but where exactly do i put it, i mean after which td or tr?

no, you're not going to use <td align="center"
Not with this mod.

Here is an example for you to follow... this is just one section of my side column on this site:

<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<div align="center"><a href="<A href="http://www.talkvbulletin.com/">Talk">http://www.talkvbulletin.com/">Talk vBulletin</a></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<div align="center"><a href="<A href="http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/">vBulletin">http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/">vBulletin Setup</a></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<div align="center"><a href="<A href="http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32">vBPicGallery</a></div">http://www.cpurigs.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32">vBPicGallery</a></div>
</td>
</tr>


this code:
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<div align="center">
starts a new section.

and this code
</td>
</tr>
closes it.

all of your content for that section goes between that. If you want the content centered then this: <div align="center"> goes inside the
<tr>
<td class="alt2">


So your code would be, for instance:

<tr>
<td class="alt2">
<div align="center">
CONTENT HERE
</td>
</tr>


Understand?

Yes, Peggy, i understand now, visual aid helps, i need to go try now. Thank you.

WOW you're fast! It took me a while to figure it out, lol.

You're very welcome! If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask please. Helping is what I'm here for ;)

I did it, I did it, i did it! I like this hack, it's easy.

yaaayyyy good for you!!! :D

Peggy, do you think i can do the same thing , i mean the boxes, with your style, i was only trying to do it on the vb skin.

yes. the side hack will work with any of my styles

Just put the sidebar on thamesvalleybirds.co.uk using Country Comfort and it looks good. Will ultimately put some advertising content in a couple of the boxes, but that will be a while yet. :)

yes i saw it yesterday, i like this hack.

it's very versatile, you can do so much with it.
