Ok i see some peoples vB advanced pages with a differnet configuration and I'm trying to figure out how to get it done. I post a screeny of what i have, and what i want.

Versions:
vB 3.7.0 Gold
vBACMPS 3.0.1

What i have now
Attachment 1001

What i want
Attachment 1000

is that doable?

Hey, I get to help Caddyman for once!

This is where I had my multiple columns within one column thing done. You can probably figure it out quickly based on this.

3.5.x - Add MORE columns to vBadvanced - vBadvanced Forums

Nevermind lol its all in that link

[Caddyman]

a tut would be great! if not ill just hire you for 5 minutes....lmao

i actually am having lots of bugy issues today, plugins are going inactive out of nowhere and can't fire them back up? idk, so much stress, today has been a bad bad bad day for me

[Caddyman]

thanks man, i'll try it tonight!

[ArnyVee]

Caddyman, if you get that working, please let me know how you did it.

I need to do another little thing on the layout of my CMPS and I can't quite get it to go.

[ArnyVee]

Well, I'd like to have the same setup, two modules side by side, under the current ones on my CMPS.

Plus, (a little unrelated ) I wanted to "fix" the width of my forums/CMPS so that I can be sure of the 'true' size.

Thanks for your help David!

[Caddyman]

ARGH!!!!!

that damn sosushin crap is keeping me from editing the homepage layout!!!

looks like it's going to work, but i get that "pageid missing" crap!!! i dont have root access for about a hour, when ill be home, not at work!

told ya, bad day

[ArnyVee]

Sounds so easy, doesn't it?

Sheesh....it'll probably take me some time to get this done. I might have to hire you for real! That way, you can fix these couple of things and then also create a 'test' site for me to mess around with too.

I'm going to try the cmps size fix first. May the vBulletin gawds be with me!

By the way, where do I enter the fixed width for the table edit? Within the header code or in that other page that had like a percentage rather than fixed amount of pixels?

[ArnyVee]

David, I copied the contents over to the adv_portal template and replaced $header with the contents.

Now, what do I do? Style manager and enter the fixed width?

[ArnyVee]

::paused for dinner and then returned::

David,

I changed the width on the Style Manager under "Main Table Width (pixels or percentage)" to a fixed "975".

I guess that it worked because when I make the window smaller, it no longer 'scrunches' (for lack of a better word) the page.

Now, I have to try and tackle the CMPS layout 'thing'.

[ArnyVee]

David,

Before I forget....do you know how I can move my actual banner at the top to the right just a bit to line up correctly?

If you still need help, I did something this on my old site design and posted a tutorial: Using Custom Module Positions with vBAdvanced - vBulletin Setup

[ArnyVee]

David, thanks for the help on the header! Worked great!

Bryce, is it really that easy for the customized look on the vBadvanced page? I went through all of those headaches to create mine...sheesh.

I'll have to try this out sometime down the road when I want to add my two additional columns under the ones that I have now. Thanks!

[ArnyVee]

Bryce (or David or anyone! ), I'd like for my vBadvanced setup to look like this....

[_1_] [_____2_____]
[_3_] [_____4_____]
[_5_] [__6__][__7__]
[_8_] [__9__][_10__]
[_11] [____12_____]

Hopefully that makes sense.

Can someone help me with the code to make this happen?

The template edit coming soon

David,

These three are in addition to what I already have setup, right?

I'm asuming that I can just delete or make them 'inactive' one I get these going, right?

Thanks for the help by the way!

You'd need 4 differrent module positions:
left
righttop
rightmiddleleft
rightmiddleright
rightbottom


Your table code would look something like this:

<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">LEFT COLUMN</td>
<td colspan="2">RIGHT COLUMN TOP</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>RIGHT COLUMN MIDLEFT</td>
<td>RIGHT COLUMN MIDRIGHT</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">RIGHT COLUMN BOTTOM</td>
</tr>

except altered to your vB Template & with the vBA Code as explained in the aforementioned blog post.
