I am trying to tweak my forum and I would like display both google and my own ads on the right side like I now have on the left side.
I set up the right side exactly like the left side but the right side does not display.
The BAT-Forum by BigRigToys.com
Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
ps: I have the site intergration borders displayed so I can see where the border actually are, I'll remove those later.

Yes,
I have turned on both right and left, then header and footer and then various combinations.
The left seems to work fine but the right does not display, even tho the mod in admin says it is enabled. |

| Are you sure you put the code in the proper places in the inc_footer.asp to show the right side? |

I was sure at one time but not sure of anything anymore.
I had it all working at one time but have don't several mod installlations since I originally installed the 5 in 1.
I went over the site intergration instructions and I believe I have those correct but obviously I have screwed up somewhere....still searching.....I'll look over that code again. thx |

| If you are still not able to get it working, post a copy of your inc_header.asp as a text file here, and we can take a look. |

OK...that was it.
I must have changed the inc_footer.asp file at some time while I was messing with the other stuff.
Thanks JJenson! Appreciate the help! |

I have confused myself again!!!!
I have my right and left columns set to 120 width and I want the forum between to fit into a page that is 600 width.
I thought the formus column would adjust to the space allowed but my right column is half off the 600 width page.
What do I have to do to make the center column adjust down in width? |

I still need help.
I got the issue corrected with site intergration MOD but now since I added the right column my page is a bit too wide.
View the BAT-Forum Here
Is there any way I can force the Total Over All Dims to be 800 x 600
I actually want my two side columns to be 120 wide each so I would like the Forum Topics column to be not more that 560.
Is there anyway to set that?
Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance |

| There should be a place in inc_header.asp (around the same place as where your left column ends) that has the width of the main forum hard-coded. I believe it's normally set to 100%, but I don't know off the top of my head whether the Site Integration MOD alters that. You'll need to change that value to 560px. |

Thanks,
That did help and that setting was at line 296 in my inc_header.asp file.
It is not perfect but it does look better.
I'll think of some way to make it more pleasing to the eye eventually I am still experimenting with the whole thing. |

| There is actually 3 spots in inc_header.asp you need to change. Sounds liek you got the first then there should be 2 more that are set at 95% you will also need ot change those and you will want to set them to something like 780 if your other one is set to 800. HTH |

bigrig, maybe you can help me. I have the site integration mod installed and checked that everything is ok, but the left and right columns appear above and below the forum as if the forum isn't giving them the room they need to be on either side. What specifically did you change to shrink the area taken up by your forum so you could have the columns on the right and the left?

Thanks again, I did find all 3 places and when I set them at hard sizes I get rather unexpected results.
I have to study this throughly and then maybe I'll see what I need to do to make them all line up correctly....it is a bit of a rubic's cube though.
Appreciate your trying to help. |

John,
I use Dreamweaver as my editor...and I have my right and left colums set at a specific 120 pics wide.
As I replyed above,
I went into the inc_header.asp and set my cursor at the top of the page then search for the word "width"
There are 3 places where the table width was set at either 100% or 98% in my file...your's may be slightly different.
Like I mentioned above I changed those setting to various #'s with various results....none of the results were exactly what I was expecting so there has to be other influences that I don't immediately see. What I wanted was a forum width of 560 which is the remained of the 800 after I substract the 2 sides of 120 each.
It does NOT work that way apparently!
I need to experiment a bit more and I will let you know if I figure it out exactly. |
