| Ok this hack is relatively simple to implement and it can be seen here @ AF on the index of the forums. I have this tested on IPB 2.0.4. I believe it works fine with very little to no changes on IPB 2.1.x. Any how details below: 1. First you will want to edit template bit: Board Index --> PageTop 2. At the very bottom of that template bit you will want to place the following html. Code: <!-- Sidebar Hack Originally by: Larry Beall Email: lawrence.beall@gmail.com -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" style="padding: 0px; padding-right: 2px;"> 4. At the very bottom of that template bit you will want to place the following html. Code: <td width="180" valign="top" style="padding: 0px; padding-left: 2px;"> <div class="borderwrap"> <!-- Block Start --> <!-- Block Title Start --> <div class="maintitle"> <img src='style_images/1/nav_m.gif' border='0' alt='>' width='8' height='8' /> First block </div> <!-- Block Title End --> <!-- Block Body Start --> <div class="row1" style="padding: 7px"> body of the first block </div> <!-- Block Body End --> <!-- Block End --> </div> </td> </tr> </table> If you have any questions feel free to ask. Either me or Ryan should be able to answer any of them. I am eventually going to code a small bit of code to make adding things to the side bar easier, but I have been very busy recovering from a surgery and trying to get back in to work. On another note I would appreciate it if please do not take this hack and claim the code for yourself. If you would like to build a module around this code that is fine but please give credit where credit is due. Thank you, Larry Beall

| I realise this is an old thread, but I am going to be purchasing an IPB license. I would like to know if the hack looks a little like this http://prettyflesh.com/tutorials/sponsors.jpg ?

| For the most part yes, The only difference is that the side bar, using this hack, is level with the beginning of the forums instead of being up higher than the first forum. If you want to see an example of how it looks just check out the forums in my sig.
