This is going to sound really silly, but it's beyond me, and it's probably something really simple.

I notice over here and on some other forums, they have a section to the side of the forums that the ads show up...


over there -------------->

where in vbulletin can I add that?

edit: i tried looking around the source code in a few files, and also in the config stuff in the admin panel in styles... i really cannot find where this table is built.

any help would be appreciated. :)
 
I haven't messed with VB in a long time, but it should be in like the forumdisplay template.

You will prob have to add it some more places too, like threadisplay or postbit.

Easiest thing to do is to turn debug mode on. Then look at the page source. With debug mode it will tell you where one template ends and the other begins.
 
it really depends on what page(s) on your forum you want the side bar to show up on. if you want it to show up on every page of your forum...you will need to add code to both the header and footer templates.

a search over on vbulletin.org should produce template mods (plugins if you are running 3.5.x) for this.

The header and footer template will only display adds in the header and footer. Not on the side like he wants.

the code for the side bar i use begins at the bottom of the header template and ends near the top of the footer template. a search on vb.org in either the template mod section or the plugin mod section will reveal this (must have a valid vb license and be registered to view code there). of course this method will provide the sidebar on all forum pages. if you only want to add the sidebar on certain pages...then you will need to modify different templates.

i use the header and footer template mods to achieve the sidebar on a 3.0.3 board i admin at as well as tested on a 3.5.3 dev board (for the afformentioned board i admin at) and it works great.

this is one way to achieve this:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59781&highlight=sidebar

again you must be registered and logged in to view the code. this particular way requires a file edit to global.php (version 3.0.x) but it can be done without file edits. they of course also have template mods listed on vb.org that will help you get the sidebar on only one or 2 pages. again...the header/footer template mod should only be used if you want the sidebar to show up on all pages of your forums.

here is one for 3.5.x at vb.org

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=91888&highlight=sidebar

again...this plugin requires template edits to the header and footer...but also uses plugins. there are other options depending on how you want to go with it. just do a search at vb.org for "sidebar" (no quotes) and you will find what you are looking for.
