MyBB Community Forums - Advanced Sidebox 2.0.3

Dear Members,

I have installed Advanced Sidebox 2.0.3. It is activated. I have also placed sidebox i need on left and right using manage sidebox option.

Still, I dont see any sidebox on left or right of my forum.

What is happening wrong here? Please help

Here are the screenshots

you are using only one theme and it is excluded in the Advanced Side Box plugin Settings (ref. above second image)
Hold On Control Key and click on Default - it gets deselected. then save the settings.

Dear Friend,

Thanks for advice. I did the same but whenever i go back to plugin settings, it shows back as image 2.

Still slidebox not visible on forum.

^ open ./inc/settings.php file in a code editor (eg. notepad++) and find $settings['asb_exclude_theme'] = "abcdefgh";
remove whatever is there for abcdefgh and save the file. now can you see the side boxes ?

Hi govindsinghnegi,

.m. is exactly right that is the problem. I just went and tested and for some reason if there is only one theme, once it is excluded I can't seem to remove that restriction.

I'll create an issue on GitHub and get that fixed, but until then a quick fix would be to add another theme.

Try updating to 2.0.5 from github: https://github.com/WildcardSearch/Advanced-Sidebox

EDIT: nvm, look above.

Dear .m,

It is working now. Thanks a ton

Dear Members

I am currently using latest threads on right side of my forum.

I would also like to know:

1. How to decrease font size of recent threads on right hand side?
2. I dont want to show "Last post", replies and views? Only latest thread subject should be shown?

Screenshot:

navigate to asb_latest_threads_thread template and remove unwanted content by using html comments tags

<span class="smalltext"><br />
{$last_poster}<br />
{$lastpostdate} {$lastposttime}<br />
<strong>&raquo; </strong>{$lang->asb_latest_threads_replies} {$thread['replies']}<br />
<strong>&raquo; </strong>{$lang->asb_latest_threads_views} {$thread['views']}
</span>

you can try using  at the end of the code

Where to find asb_latest_threads_thread ?

Dear .m,

Found it. Thanks again for solving my problem
