Left and Right Sidebars

Post by Mysterio »

I need a left sidebar and a right sidebar on my phpbb. I know i need to edit the overall header and overall footer to do this. However I do not know what code I need to put into it. Does anyone have it? Thanks.

in overall_header.tpl put this (at the end of file):

Code: Select all

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" width="100%">
<tr>
 <td width="200" align="center" valign="top">

   <span class="gen">here will be code for left navbar</span>

 </td>
 <td width="100%" align="center" valign="top">
and in overall_footer.tpl put this (at the beginning of file):

Code: Select all

 </td>
 <td width="200" align="center" valign="top">
  
  <span class="gen">here will be code for right navbar</span>

 </td>
</tr>
</table>
..and replace text with what you want to see there.

I'd imagine because it seems you have
<td width="400" align="center" valign="top">


instead of
<td width="100%" align="center" valign="top">


in your overall header

I need that to be a fixed width so it will fit the title image tho.

And not just that, it deletes my empty cells i used for spacing and changes the size of the left and right bar to fit exactly how long the text in them is.

I don't know if it's possible to post this. I read the forum rules, and I don't think it's a spam. Or I may have missed it.

Anyway, I found an instruction how to put a right sidebar. I used this in my forum. http://www.netclectic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=281

Sorry, but I cannot comment on 2 sidebars.

I already have both a left and a right sidebar. My problem is that between the forum itself and the right sidebar, there is a whole lot of space and I cannot figure out why!

This is how my site Should look:

Code: Select all

                          Title picture
Left Sidebar| 26px of space | Forum | 26px of space | Right sidebar
Now everything in that is correct other than the fact that there seems to be like 250+ px (pixels) of space between the forum and the right 26px of space and I cannot figure out why! PLEASE help :cry:

No, you see, the point of my message was an image post of what I see (which has no spacing problem), but could not find anywhere to put the image!

EDIT: OK, I found a host, there's the pic. ^^^^
