UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Can I put in a side bar? Help please

...or left-hand navigation? How do you do that??
Can someone point me to some basic ubbt docs?

No one wants to answer my stylesheet question. Should I go to the design group?

Please help me get started with this program.

Thank you.

Not hard to do. You will need to surroud your Message boards with a table


<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>Your menus go here</TD>

<TD> your message board goes here</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>.

Use your control panel to insert the

<TABLE><TD>Your menus go here</TD>

as soon as the BODY tag opens and before the message board code begins.

Then insert the

</TD></TABLE>

so that it appears before the closing body tag.

It often takes a bit of experimenting and it always helps to find somewhere else that has done it the way you want -- and do a view source to check out the actual code.

Thanks! Can you suggest a list of examples of Bulletin Boards that design beyond the defaults?

'preciate the help.

Michael,

Where in the control panel can the HTML be inserted as you advise?

Your solution addresses the left navigation menu. What about a top menu/header? Do I replace the default header (step 1) and then enter your HTML (sept 2) in order to emulate the look and feel of the banner and left column on my site?

Thanks,
-Rick-

My site is designed with a "body" tag that includes the attribute/value pairs marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0". How can I use this or some other technique to remove the default offset on the top banner header and side menu area of my UBBt forums?

If all you need to do is add the Top/Bottom stuff you can do that with plain text or HTML in the Header Footer box.. You will skip the content cell for the UBB.x and just have 'freestanding' tables, etc. in the Header and Footer.
