Left side column

[d3nnis]

I need to make one that will appears on all the pages... i have tried all ways (featured on this forum, vbulletin.org and vbulletintemplates.com) but its still not what i want.

I want the left side bar to be on the left of the forum below the navbar (mostly i seen on this forum, vbulletin.org and vbulletintemplates.com only places the left column right beside the navbar and categories which looks out of place to me and its not what I want).

Anyone able to help?

I think I've done something like this. try this:

In your header template, add the red:


<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="10%">left column text</td>
<td width="90%">
<!-- content table -->

In your footer template, add the red

<!-- /content area table -->
</td>
</tr></table>

I'm pretty sure thats the deal.

Then add the red code from the header template at the bottom of the navbar template instead.

What about putting a bar on the right also? Is that possible?

[jamesyfx]

Sure, in the footer template replace

</td>
</tr></table>
With

</td>
<td width="10%">Right Column Text</td>
</tr></table>

That should do it.. :p

Hi guys, thank for the mod. I tried and also like having the column below the nav bar. One more question, wat should I do in so that the left column only appear on the home page not all pages of the forum.

Thanks

Sorry to bring this up but can anyone tell me how I can set it so the column is aligned at the top?

Right now it is in the middle of the page, but I want it at the very top.

Thanks

Really useful bit of code, how can I fix the column width as I want to add banner advertising graphics which are 100 pixels width please??

If I understand you correctly, in the header you change the

td width="10%"

to

td width="100"

because the 2 different values acceptable in width are either pixel size or percentage. In other words take out the % sign.

:)

PS: And where it says <td width="90%"> make this <td>
