Great Zaher! I just implemented the side box on my forum www.qnhl.com

Thanks a lot!

Is there any way to add the Link or Sponsor box as an additional template or something so that the index.php code doesn't have to be touched every time a link or sponsor is added/deleted?

I know that with vBadvance Portal for vB there is the ability to add seperate templates that can contain either BB code or HTML. Just hoping there is a way to accomplish something similar in MyBB.

Yes sure you can, but after creating this template (make sure to put index_urbox) so it appear with the index templates set. now u will have to open sb.php

find

 // Search box

and add above it

 eval("\$urbox = \"".$templates->get("index_urbox")."\";");

Zaher, is there a simple way of creating templates for that?

Thanks!

Well as any new template, from the templates manager, click add a template.

but u should always remember that u can't use them properly , until u eval them in the corresponding php file.

read this example once i made for creating a new box in the portal page , using a new template > read more
