Side Boxes! - 2.1 by zaher1988

It's very nice, except for one problem

it gives this error, whenever someone tries to use it to log in with it, or when logging in normally.

MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
1054 - Unknown column 'loginattempts' in 'field list'
Query:
UPDATE mybb_sessions SET loginattempts=loginattempts+1 WHERE sid = ''

I love them, great plug-in!
Excellent rework of the original, and now reallocates table space when deactivated, and also carries over to forum display pages too, not just the index page.

I find it's a great resource for affiliate image block links, Google ads. or even just for more content, can also be a Feed display for weather or other interesting feeds!
I am also considering using one additional box for a flash show, or youtube, or Google videos if they fit right, I will update this when I have accomplished this!
Two thumbs up!!!!
I would have put up more but i am human and only have two thumbs! LOL!

I HIGHLY recommend NOT downloading this plugin. I'm sorry, but my experience with this is HORRID! I didn't like the way it looked, so I deactivated it. This in return removed the sideboxes but for now screwed up the size of my forums. Everything is pushed left, and I can't seem to fix it! It altered the global template somehow.

*EDIT*

If you install and uninstall, you need to edit ALL current index template (main for EACH and EVERY theme):

Look for:
<td width="75%" valign="top">{$forums}</td>

and change to:
<td width="100%" valign="top">{$forums}</td>

Everything went smoothly & the preset box content to chose from was great! :)

This is awesome.

The included boxes are nice and if you want you can just turn them off.

Then you could have complete control through html like this:

Code:
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><strong>..: </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1"> ..:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<! ------ / end box 1 ------>
<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead"><strong>..: </strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="trow1"> ..:<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


Make as many and do whatever you want to from settings!
I mean how easy is that?!
Beautiful.

5 STARS

Dude, work on one for the 1.4 range, you'd get loads more downloads, including one from me, as lots of people need this.

Hi, for ppl wondering how to hide threads they are not allowed to browse through, add this small piece of code on line 736:

Code:
// get forums user cannot view
    $unviewable = get_unviewable_forums(true);
    if($unviewable)
    {
        $unviewwhere = " AND fid NOT IN ($unviewable)";
    }
