RE: Halp! Trying to add side column
Ah, that is part of my problem

the banners are added to the forum description with html.

ETA:  OK, I made the new global and copied the right temp this time!  Added the prefix to one of the forums and did a test with success!!  Biggrin

How did you split your layout up like that?  Here is my code now: (mp_forumbit_depth2_forum)

Code:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.png" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong> <a href="newthread.php?fid={$forum['fid']}" title="Post new thread in {$forum['name']}"><img src="images/cnti.png" alt="New Thread" /></a>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$modlist}{$subforums}</div>
</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$threads}{$unapproved['unapproved_threads']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$posts}{$unapproved['unapproved_posts']}</td>

</tr>


Is there a way to put the name across the top with the posts,threads and views?  And then have the description on the bottom row?

Do you know of any examples posted that I can study to get a similar layout as what you posted?  I'd like to do it my self, but I have no idea where to start to obtain the effect!  Erf

RE: Halp! Trying to add side column
OK, I think I got it working well!

I just can't figure out how to drop the forum icons down to center?  Other wise...it looks good!

XThreads is amazing!  And so is RateU for helping to think up uses for it! Biggrin

mp_forumbit_depth2_forum (forum icons)

Code:
<td class="trow2" align="center" valign="top" width="1" rowspan="2">

		<img src="images/bluegrey_ky/on.png" alt="Forum Contains New Posts" title="Forum Contains New Posts" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_48" />

	</td>

You have them valign to top...change it to valign="middle"

Code:
<tr><td class="trow2" colspan="4"><p><div align="left"><a href="http://www.cjponyparts.com/Default.aspx?utm_source=7173mustangs&amp;utm_medium=forum&amp;utm_campaign=forums" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.7173mustangs.com/banners/cjpony.jpg"></a></div></td></tr>

In the same template, just add a valign=middle to your banners.

RE: Halp! Trying to add side column
maybe latest posts? OR a list of your best posts (based on rating or whatever) or maybe links to the "Archive" - threads in months x, y z. Thats a plugin I have been thinking about.
