New sidebar menus can use the event templates to add in a new sidebar menu on the right or left.
sniper_sidebarmenu_left.html and sniper_sidebarmenu_right.html

New links from other extensions can be adding in each of these 5 template events.

It does not work for me. No blocks are displayed. Although the settings in the personal section is.

I said this in your other topic that your events are incorrectly named - they need to be preceded by the vendor name - see https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/3.2.x ... ght=events

I said this in your other topic that your events are incorrectly named - they need to be preceded by the vendor name.

Thanks David... From that tutorial you sent me to, I think I see what you meant in the other topic.

These are the list of events for the main blocks and for the 5 templates.
main sidemenu blocks
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_left %}
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_right %}
extensions.html
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_extentions %}
quick_links.html
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_quick_links %}
staff_tools.html
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_staff_tools %}
ucp.html
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_ucp_extentions %}
user_links
{% EVENT sniper_sidebarmenu_user_links %}

I see now, these event names are what I have to have as template events. Fist time adding events.
I will have to change the names of the event templates in the other extensions to match these new names.

It does not work for me. No blocks are displayed. Although the settings in the personal section is.

All 5 blocks should show for you.
The Extensions block should not open for you until you add event templates in the other extension's event/ folder.
The same goes for the User Control Panel block / Extensions part only should not open until you add the event templates.
But all of the other links should be there. They are the default links in the phpBB forums.

That would be no problem but I am not familiar with that ext. Can you post the codes for the link you have for that?
I can convert that into an event template format for sidebar menu.

[Sniper_E]

NEW RELEASE -> First post update with version 2.0.0

All event names have changed to their correct format.
All contrib ext event template names have changed to match.

Let me know if you see any problems.

Sure thing 3Di, I will set that up tomorrow and post the link here.

i have the same problem.

I believe you could have a style problem.
I went to your site listed in your sig and looked at you source codes and found something very odd.

Code: Select all

</head>

<div id="wrap" class="wrap">

<body id="phpbb" class="nojs notouch section-index ltr ">

When your </head> ends then the <body> should start. Your wrap is outside of the <body> tag. Sidebars start outside of the wrap.
So when this ext is installed, does that mean the sidebars are outside of the body?
How does that style even work. You may not even have the event templates in the correct place in that style. I don't know.

I would suggest trying this on a well written released style from phpbb or fix the codes in that style of your.
