    [vB4] Japanese Fly Fishing (Tenkara) Forum Help

    Latest version available: 4.2.0 Patch Level 2


    I am having trouble configuring my site: tenkara-fisher


    The Admin Control Panel is a hit and miss for me. I am new to vBulletin and trying to get my forum into shape.

    I have a "front page" and a forum.

    I'm having trouble editing the front page.

    I want to include cells (different content) in the right hand column.


    Grid manager?

    What is the setting that I can add content into different cells (for lack of a better word) on the right hand column?

    Thank you in advance.


    Tenkara fisher?

    I need a guru.

    These are widgets. You would create your own widget, or use one of the predefined ones, and then add it to you layout in the Layout manager.
    These options are under vBulletin CMS in the AdminCP.

      Ok, I got that but problem is, I don't know which one.

      Here is the link to the site I am trying to configure: tenkara-fisher

      As it stands now, I have a right column that pulls new posts from the forum.

      I want to add in a box for polls and one for new blog posts or what ever I want.

      I am struggling to get past this point.

        Still looking for help.

        Simple question, not hard for you guys, I don't want to screw up what is already set up.

        I've done this before, I forget how to do it.

        PayPal for help that works?

        - - - Updated - - -

        Right now I have "Recent Forum Posts" for the right hand column.

        I want to add in a "Poll" cell or a "Recent Blog Entries" cell.

        When I go into "Layout Maneger" I get the picture above.

        I click on "Home" and I get the options that I want, then hit "Save" and then check my site and nothing happened.


        Is there a setting that I have to use in order to "choose Home" in the Layout Manager?


        I'm spending a fair amount of time trying to learn this on my own before coming here and asking.



        Please obi-won, you are my only hope...

          What layout is currently assigned to the section you're trying to change the layout of? Go to the CMS section of your site (not within AdminCP, the front end) and click on the pencil icon to edit the section. In the next page, what is in the 'Layout' dropdown?

          Once you find that, go back into the Layout Manager in AdminCP and edit that layout to your needs or change the layout in that dropdown and hit Save before editing the Layout in AdminCP.
