Okay I have searched for information on this and just can not find anything. The site I'm talking about is srcigars.com/forum And this might be a dumb question but I'm not all up on htmp/asp. What I'm trying to do is add some stuff on the right hand side of my forum. When I use the site integration MOD it takes my stuff and puts it right under the header. I want it to be Aligned with the forum section where it has Forum, Topics, Post, Last Post, etc without shrinking the Home | Profile | Register | Active Topics | All Subscriptions | My Subscriptions | Members | Search | FAQ.
I have also tried to align it up with a webpage maker and then use the html from that. It seems to align it in the correct stop but does not move the forum section, so my stuff is put over the forum. I'm stuck and have no clue, my guess is that I can add a short possition html before my content but have clue on what to use.
Any thoughts? |

Yes that is what I ment to say even if it did not come out right.
When I just past my code in from adbrite or chitika it moves the forum part over but the adbrite or chitika is pulled way up right under the header. When I put code in to move it down that works)but then the forum section doe's not mover over to make room, so it is ontop of the right side of the forum. If you would like me to put it up so you can see I will.

This is what I get when I just put my code in the SI MOD
I want it to be aligned with the forum section where it has Forum, Topics, Post, Last Post, etc without shrinking the Home | Profile | Register | Active Topics | All Subscriptions | My Subscriptions | Members | Search | FAQ
edit: for better picture

| Ah. Gotcha. That is going to require some custom coding since you are seeing the intended behavior for that MOD. |

| Do I just add the code in the inc_site_right? If so can you give me an example of what to use. When I tried it really looked crazy. |

Actually, you're going to want to leave the code in inc_site_right.asp like you have it and move the code for the forum nav, image, and login box to inc_site_header.asp below the code you added for the ads at the top.
I'll let you know now that it will probably take some fiddling around to get it right. I've done some similar modifications, and I wish I'd written down just everything I'd done - but it was a lot of trial and error making sure the tables were properly handled. |

hmmm seems over my head, I'll have to look into it and decide if I even want to take this on. Just wish I had someplace to play with it and not on my live forum.
Thanks for the information AnonJr, if I do take it on and get it to work correct I will post what I did.
Thanks |

Just make a new folder 'testforum1' and copy your entire forum to it. Copy the db and change it's name too e.g. 'testdb1' and make sure your test forum is using the test db.
But no, these types of code changes are not for most of us. If you have money, there are some here that can do it for hire.

Yea I thought about that but this is a hobby forum. The little money I do make (very little) on the ads goe's toward cigar passes for the members. So in other words I do not make money on this site at all.
But let me ask you this, how do I make the new test forum aim at the test DB and not my live one? I would think I would have to add that path someplace. If I can do that it would help a lot, I can add new mods to that one in case I mess it up...
Man there is some great people here... :) |

| Edit the copy of config.asp in the test forum folder to point to the location of the copy of the database. |

If you're moderately up on your HTML and ASP, its not as bad as it sounds. Just make sure you have a good backup somewhere just in case.  But I say that to everyone for just about any work.
Having a testing forum will help out a lot for this and any other changes you may decide to make.
Best of luck.  |

Got it going and it works well, besides it makes me log in to my domain to get to it. I have read/write set on everything?? But it serves my purpose. I'm not up on ASP nor HTML but figuring it out one step at a time :)
Thanks for the help AnonJr |
