Hi all i know there are a few side box plugins but i simply want to make some template edits to create a few right side boxes that i can put images, ads, video etc in i would like these boxes to have the same color headeras template if ta makes sense you know as in the category head. is there any tutorials on how to do this?

Go to: ACP > Templates > Your theme's Templates > Index Templates > index > and find;

{$forums}

Replace it with;

<div class="sidebar" style="float: left; width: 20%;">
<table width="50%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="tborder">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<div class="float_left" style="font-size: 11px;">BOX_NAME</div><div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['newbox_e']}.gif" id="newbox_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" title="[-]" /></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody style="{$collapsed['newbox_e']}" id="newbox_e">  
<tr>
<td class="trow1">CONTENT</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="forums" style="float: right;width: 80%;">
{$forums}
</div>

Should result into this;
[attachment=22486]

You can Replace BOX_NAME and CONTENT with your own text

Looks like just what i need how would i get it so there is a small gap between the side box and the forum? just because does not look right against the forum.

Change

<div class="sidebar" style="float: left; width: 20%;">

to

<div class="sidebar" style="float: left; width: 19%;">

Thanks although my box looks a little odd odd on the corners http://www.windowcleaningforums.co.uk/index.php

Try to remove class="sidebar" and class="forums" from both divs.

Didn't seem to make any difference

Ah just fixed. Changed

<table width="50%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="tborder">

to
<table width="50%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder">

Find;

</tbody>
</table>

and Ad the following code just after that;

<br/>
<table width="50%" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<div class="float_left" style="font-size: 11px;">BOX_NAME</div><div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/collapse{$collapsedimg['newbox_e']}.gif" id="newbox_img" class="expander" alt="[-]" title="[-]" /></div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody style="{$collapsed['newbox_e']}" id="newbox_e">  
<tr>
<td class="trow1">CONTENT</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

In this way you can as much side boxes as you can.
