Very nice, I especially like the way there are no template edits.

[labrocca]

Yeah...that was the hardest part of doing this plugin. I really wanted to make it simple for users. I personally will use this on more of my sites now. The other versions of sideboxes never satisfied me. The one I run at hackforums.net is heavily modified but I still don't like it. This one is a total rewrite from scratch with a different approach altogether.

[MattR]

Not that I understand PHP that well but how did you do it??

[labrocca]

Trial and error...trial and error.

Basically instead of using the template system and hard-coding the sidebar, I have it dynamic with some if statements and the settings. Totally wasn't easy.

[syst3m4t1c]

is there a way we can edit the width of it and if so how

[labrocca]

Oh yeah..I was gonna make that dynamic and I forgot.

Search for this and edit each entry to be the same.

Code:

width="200"

That should do it.

But yeah...I was going to make it an editable setting. Maybe later on. For now just edit the file manually.

Thanks for this one~ I like the flexibility you gave for placement and everything else!

Side boxes are a great way to add links and other information that you want your members to see and KNOW they see them!
I like the way you added the option for the boxes to follow you to every page or just keep it on the index page.

Excellent! I can't wait to play with this!

Hi:
Can it be possible to just have it in the portal and forum and not in the login page? If so how can I do that?
Thanks in advance

[labrocca]

It shouldn't be on the login page at all. As a matter of fact mybb has sort of eliminated the old login page. Now it's DHTML.

[MattR]

You can get the old style log in page at member.php?action=login

But that might not be what you meant
