Full Version: Side Boxes & Ad Boxes

Ive seen quite a few forums where the pages have side boxes with ads, the log in is on the side and other such features.

Can someone advise if this is a plugin and where i can obtain it, because despite searching i cant find it. Is it easy to install or does it involve much coding changes?

Thanks Smile
There are quite a few sidebox plugins, here's two:

And a tutorial:

The one on my forum is the tutorial above without the CSS or javascript. Smile

THanks, will check'em out now. Smile
One basic question first. On the support site, the first instructions regarding install state

Installation:
1. Upload the UPLOAD dir to your forum dir

To show how much of a newbee i am, i need to know the exact name of where to upload this fine. Im in via FTP but dont know exact spot to place the file Sad
Which one are you using?

Im using
http://community.mybb.com/thread-69646.html

But i just remembered you upload to inc/plugins (doh) and ive done that, it shows in ACP so ive just indtalled, it says successful in green, so now i will go and fiddle. I believe theres some minor code change but thats cut and paste so will check that out now.

IIm also trying to resolve issue with "Show the users that has been online today (2.0)" as it states its incompatible with 1.6. I read somwhere you enter the code and change something small. Just looking to find that now Smile
WOW...that really looks dreadful. I fiddled a few things but it skewed everything up. Seemed to lose half the page or skin and the boxes were very long and skinny. I guess i have lots to fiddle with and adjust Smile

I deactivated whilst i am fiddling.
Let me know if you need anymore help. Smile
Probably will need some help, but i need to try and struggle through as much as i can, overwise im never going to learn and always be dependent upon someone else.

Thanks Smile You probably will get a pm or post in the forum in a day or two Smile
