Sidebar Menu]I've had a few requests for this, so I thought it was time to finally post it up here.
Code Name: Sidebar Menu
Description: It displays a simple sidebar to left of your main index. It's quite simple, though it may slow down your board depending on much information you want displayed. I'll give you a basic coding snippet, though obviously you can edit it to include a lot more.
Preview of it in Use: (It's a very old board I used to run, so it's quite dead. But I just editted the sidebar to give you an idea of what sort of layout it'll have. You can go to websites that offer shoutbox/poll codes, and then just stick them within this. It may take a while to load.)
PreviewWhere it goes: Admin CP > Skinning & Styles > Board Wrappers > Header & Body. You place it between your <% Navigation %> tag and your <% Board %> tag.
What I've done here is create different sections. For example, all the Information threads and forums that you want linked will go together in one section. Anything extra you may want link can be categorized in another section.
(
Note: Anywhere that says 'board's main title' in red, make sure you
don't include the extra /index.php? at the end of the link)
Everything in
Red can be editted.

This is my first time posting up a code on here. If there are any problems with this, please point them out so I can try to fix it. Please excuse me if I have missed something. I'm new at this.
