[r4] Sideboxes

[MattR]

Isn't there an option for additional boxes?? I haven't used this plugin in months but I'm sure there's one somewhere.

[Loque]

Useful plugin. Thanks!

[Eliza]

Any suggestions as to why I have an echo?

Thanks

[MattR]

You have the boxes code twice on your index page for a start...

[Eliza]

I have no idea how that would have happened.

forums/index.php? I wouldn't know what code to look for!

What part do I remove?

Many thanks.

No not the index file, the index template. ACP > Templates & Style > Templates > **expand template set** > Index Page Templates > index. You should see the variables twice, just remove one set of them.

Okay, I want to do this as well.

I am not familiar with mybb yet to know what templates I want. I'll go poke around and try. I assume I use the template "editor" in admin cp?

---

I'll work my way through this ... and bore you all in the process perhaps, by maybe this will be helpful to some other newbie like me.

In Admin CP, I go to templates, index, index and find this code:
<td width="75%" valign="top">{$forums}</td>
<td width="25%" valign="top">{$sb_welcome}{$sb_search}{$sb_stats}{$sb_latestthreads}{$sb_additional}</td>

I assume if I want to kill a box, I can simply delete one of those variables, for example welcome is redundant ... Oh no, I found out how, it creates settings in configure. Do configure/settings in Admin Control Panel and then pick side boxes, and then it gives yes/no choices for each box. I was trying to do an edit in sideboxes.php, but not necessary.

Next I do a raw edit on sideboxes.php per this discussion:
http://community.mybboard.net/archive/in...16531.html
To limit the number to 5 for latest threads.

It does not appear that it is yet configurable just for this plugin, but rather it still relies on a more general setting.

My result:
ORDER BY t.lastpost DESC
LIMIT 0, 5" //.$mybb->settings['portal_showdiscussionsnum']
);

Seems we could just create sb_showdiscussionsnum could we not?

[bestfoot]

Maybe I'm trying too hard, but I wanted it to be on "every" thread when the thread was being reviewed.

I was able to get it to work. I added another table to showthread template.

I added the table near the top with a tr/td and tr width=75% similar to above. Then way down at the bottom I added the end of the first td and another td and end of 2nd td, tr, plus end of table. I put td width to 25% on the second td.

Then I used the following in the second td:
{$sb_latestthreads}{$sb_additional}

Figured that would work, but instead nothing, and then I realized, something more was needed. In checking the sideboxes.php I find this hooks bit ...

$plugins->add_hook("index_start", "sideboxes_start");

So I add:
$plugins->add_hook("showthread_start", "sideboxes_start");

and suddenly I have sideboxes in the second template. In retrospect I should probably have put all sidebox variables. Because I am killing the other sideboxes in settings (see prior post), it would likely not hurt to have them in there.

I looked at hooks in the wiki and it didn't show any way to put multiples, so if there is a better way it is not demoed. I'd be happy to learn however if there is a better way.

Can I edit the sideboxes to like this kind of boxes????
