Side table
« Thread Started on Jan 9, 2012, 7:47pm »

Is it possible to make the sidetables for main page like regular side tables to show like an actual box ?

mmmmmm , probably ! But you'll have to be a bit more specific about what you mean. A border around all the stuff on the right hand side ? Head and base images on it ?

Well with a regular side table you get what looks like a box around the content in each table, which is what I'm going for. A border and head/base images would be good also.

OK,

I don't use side tables so I'm not sure what a regular one looks like! Can you post a link to one that shows something similar to what you want.
Also , have a look here to see if I'm on the right track : http://pebbletest2.proboards.com/index.cgi

The borders are a good start though I question the spaces up top and below ?

I was aiming for something like TENO: http://tenorpg.proboards.com/index.cgi

Right

OK, I'll knock something up tomorrow when I have a bit of time. I'll do it with CSS so it's easy for you to modify if you want to at a later date.

You want 4 boxes ?
----------------------------------
Head image?

CP welcome
see whats new abroad
CP updates
Twitter

Base image ?

________________-

Have a look again - Like that but with spacing between the boxes ?

? O.O

Its only two boxes so far mate: CP Welcome, CP Updates. Those two are the titles for the boxes and underneath the content....

Do you think we should have only 1 uniform head/base or 1 per box though ?

Yeah a small amount of space like on TENO between boxes is good.

Thanks Pebble, I appreciate the help.

2 boxes ! ok.

Save your code and put this in replacing what you've got there already (I assume it's top of your main footer)

Code:
</td><td id="sidetbls" style="display:none">
<table>
<tr><td id="sidetbls">
<center><img src="http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7066/cpwelcome.png" /></center><hr>

</td></tr>
<tr><td>
<br />
<br />
</tr></td>
<tr><td id="sidetbls">
<center><img src="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/9525/cpupdates.png" /></center>
<style type="text/css"></style>
<script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/2/widget.js"></script>
<script>
new TWTR.Widget({
version: 2,
type: 'profile',
rpp: 5,
interval: 6000,
width: 190,
height: 180,
theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#00001e',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#000033',
      color: '#FFFFFF',
      links: '#2244aa'
    }
},
features: {
    scrollbar: true,
    loop: false,
    live: false,
    hashtags: false,
    timestamp: true,
    avatars: false,
    behavior: 'all'
}
}).render().setUser('cloudianpublics').start();
</script>
</td></tr>

</table>
</td></tr></table>

And this at the top of you main header:

Code:
<style type="text/css">
#sidetbls { border-style:solid; border-color:#0000ff; border-width:4px;}
</style>

You can play about with this second part until you get it looking how you want it.

Then you'll have to decide what you want to do. The nav bar, square tabs, rounded headimage etc is looking a bit mis-matched. Having some more head/base images may make it look even more jumbled up.
Maybe get the tabs below the headimage ?

If your page stretches you may have to narrow your images. Also your CP updates looks odd as it's not set the same as the other one. It needs to be set to the left.

Though this was a nice exercise, I don't see why you just can't use good ol' Smangii's Side Tables for this purpose. Or am I missing something here? :-/

Wormo designed a side table code for main page only and only showed on the right of our board content..
