Evening guys.
Hope you all had a happy Christmas. Back to work now   and was looking to update my board. I am looking to add a column to my main board page which takes up about 20% and runs on the left hand side of my board index (all my boards) at the top. I looked in the main html template but can't seem to do it. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Thanks all

Just on the BoardIndex?  If it's just there, then you'll have to edit BoardIndex.pl.


I do installs for $25 and upgrades for $20.

If you would like to add it to your entire forum, you can edit your template.html.  Where you see:
Code
<div id="content">
		<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td><blah main></td></tr></table>
</div>

Add another td tag so that it now looks like this:
Code
<div id="content">
		<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td width="20%">New column</td><td><blah main></td></tr></table>
</div>

This should work and put it on the left side of your forum. I've used similar coding for another forum theme before. Let me know if you have any questions.



Even if your idea seems whack, stick with it and make it happen.
