[Forum] Newbie Questions.

[ringnews24]

I noticed on this link https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum.php that vbulletin has a column running down the right hand side of the forum, how do you do that?

&

How do you add the small orange rss button/feed to all the categories/sections.

Thanks

1. go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options and enable it
2. go to AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager and Add Block. Add the block you want to display.

That is the sidebar and can be found under AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Forum Sidebar and Block Options. If you enable the Sidebar, it will not be displayed until you create Forum Blocks to display under AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Blocks Manager.

I did what you said and nothing has shown up on the forum homepage. Any ideas?

[Trevor Hannant]

Have you added any blocks to it as per post 2 above?

[ringnews24]

Yeah I added a custom html to it and nothing has shown up.

Yeah I added a custom html to it and nothing has shown up.

First add one of the predefined blocks and check if it appears. If yes then your custom code might be wrong.

Sorry guys I'm used to Joomla and new to VBulletin.

I had the custom HTML in the description box rather than the Content box.



Is there a way to have a forum side bar left and right?

Is there a way to have a forum side bar left and right?

I believe that's possible only with a modification. You should ask for left and right column/blocks at www.vbulletin.org

[ringnews24]

The blocks are showing up on the front page of the forum.

Is there away to get them to show up in the article pages? Sub Forums etc..?

Thanks

In the CMS you can work with widgets if that's what you want to know.
