Rick, in an older thread, you gave a link to your personal site to show how you were able to display right and left column content at the bottom of the forum. Such as, "Who's Online," "Forum Stats," and "Newest Members".
Can you explain how you did that? Or, is that a hack and something I should ask about at ubbdev?
Thanks.

Sure, here's what I'm using to pull in the 3 islands on my personal site:
<?php
if (!defined('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM')) define('UBB_MAIN_PROGRAM',1);
$style_side="";$tbopen="";$tbclose="";
$wrapper_id = $style_array['wrappers'];
$tbopen = $wrappers[$wrapper_id]['open'];
$tbclose = $wrappers[$wrapper_id]['close'];
echo <<<EOF
<table border="0" width="800" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="33%" valign="top">
EOF;
include("/path_to/english/generic.php");
include("/path_to/cache/online_now.php");
echo <<<EOF
</td>
<td width="33%" valign="top">
EOF;
include("/path_to/cache/forum_stats.php");
echo <<<EOF
</td>
<td width="33%" valign="top">
EOF;
include("/path_to/cache/new_users.php");
echo <<<EOF
</td>
</tr>
</table>
EOF;
?>

I believe it goes in your footer insert.

I'm curious about the answer to this one? Would someone please provide instructions on how to place some of the custom islands at the bottom instead of on the side. Thanks.

should be as easy as placing the "external island" code in your footer.tpl file where you want them; you'd want to replace With So smarty knows how to deal with the islands.

that didn't work either...any way that someone might give a more detailed way to do this? Is there any way to just get the Who's Online to show like it has in the past? I don't have any use for the portal myself and I just want to use the forum software in the same way i've always used it...last version i used was 6.5.2 and it has the who's online at the top and it opens in a separate page when you click on it...any way to bring that back or just get it to show at the footer would be fine i guess? need a little more help though if you guys wouldn't mind spelling it out for a old fool like me

No prob, that was the first thing I did too. But I made buttons instead of the links.

FYI, to move the contents of the WOL to your forums, I did just fine by pasting the contents of the "external use" section into my crfm template; you can see this at the bottom of: http://www.elitewebgamers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php

I plan to release some of that series once my server gets back up and I stop being so friggen stressed out... One thing i'm waiting on is that I have to redo the images; some are png's and they need to be gif's; and the height i'm doing to 20 vs trying to cover a full cell; etc.

one other quick question and i'm done ( i think)...is there any way to make it show the old style "Extra Info" stuff? Any way to maybe use something from an older release in the footer maybe? I'd like it to show something like this at the bottom, which is from the 6.5.2 release (see below)... let me explain a little...I'm trying to avoid the whole "portal" thing...it's nice but not what i need for this particular website...I've been using threads since the old days and I don't want to switch forum software...I'm more than happy with the way it performs...I just want to stay with a current release for security and upgrade issues...and to continue to support the cause of course...I keep all my license up to date so i can get the latest releases even if i don't upgrade. Thanks again for the help guys...I've been using this for a while but it's been a while since i did a lot of this so i'm having to re-learn a lot Extra information Show favorite forums. 4164 Registered User(s).
