New Files: sidebar_leftopen.tmpl, sidebar_leftclose.tmpl, sidebar_rightopen.tmpl, sidebar_rightclose.tmpl, sidebarpal.php
Database Altered: Yes, U_SideBar added to the w3t_Users table to store the user's sidebar preference.
Notes: This is based on JustDave's sidebar mod. He had put together a sidebarpal.php script which we were using at ThreadsDev, and had planned on including it in the next release in IIP. But he's been away for a while, and so many people keep asking for it, hopefully he won't mind that I put this together and released it.
Description: This allows a user selected sidebar (left/right/off) of IIP pal boxes. It's fully configurable, you you can decide what boxes you want to display, and in what order they display. Version 1.1 fixes an error on some servers which displays a headers already sent error. Version 2.0 updates for UBB.Threads 6.4 Version 2.1 Updates for IIP 5.4.1 with multi-language file capability Version 2.2 Updates to work with IIP 5.4.4 Version 2.2 Updates to work with IIP 5.5
i've installed this but cant get the side bar to show, i've set it in my profile but cant find "Edit your Theme file. Fill in the sidebar type and sidebar width. (Example: Sidebar Type: left Sidebar Width: 20%)"

Where I see this is when you go to the IIP configuration page and it's right near the top of the page (it was added in from the instructions when it says to edit the editconfigpal.php file in your PALS directory). However, I still have not gotten this to work properly still. I don't get any errors, but no side bar shows up on any page.
hey this is working for me now, i just couldnt find where to place 'left' i was looking in the threads admin section DOH! working well, looks great and many thanks!
Found it.. Had to click on the New install button to turn it on. thanks and its working good. Now to hunt down ALL the pages it shows up on... most need to be turned off.
I have the Sidebar showing up but it's very narrow and changing the width settings doesn't help at all. I have verified that I made all the changes required in the setup text file.
I know the problem with mine was with one of the templates. I went ahead and replaced the templates in the 2.3 version and put int the old 2.2 ones. I dont think there is really any changes in each one but when I replaced them my tables all show up to the correct sizes.
good question but I think Rick was right when he said that alot of the queries in IIP have not been optimized. this is basically the same scripts it was 3 years ago...
[] NOTE: It may be possible that there are pages you do NOT want the sidebar to appear because screen width is a problem... for example showflat.php and showthreaded.php. To turn the sidebar off for a particular page, open the script that you don't want the sidebar on, and add this variable just below the "require the library" stuff near the top:
yes excellent, thanks. now hopefully last prob i have is with the top posters, and its not listing the top poster, but seems to list most of the others... it seems inaccurate.
