How do I display the sidebar only on the main page of the board? I was looking around at other topics, and one answer was to create a copy of the skin
without the sidebar in the HTML and apply that to forums, but the script for our sidebar is in the Global HTML, so that would not work, correct? Someone else,
I believe, mentioned a bit of code that accomplished the job
#forum_view .sidebarholder, #forum_viewtopic .sidebarholder {
display: none;
}
but I'm not sure exactly where I would put that. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

That code on it's own would not work. Your board would still appear offset and your topic view would likely also contain the sidebar.
I have no idea how many skins you may be using on your board at the moment. At a quick look, you will need two to achieve what you want. I would suggest creating 2 new ones from what you have existing so that you will have a backup if you go wrong. Remove the Sidebar related CSS from one for the forums and copy the sidebar code from the global html to the other. (also paste it into a txt document on your PC so you can restore it if need be). Are you following what I am saying? Do you feel confident enough to do it or do you need more help? |

I follow.
 Thank you very much. I'll probably try it in a couple
days when I have more time.

I don't use the global html, I just have a skin for the main, and a skin for the other forums. cs.yuku.com

To use only one skin for a community but display a sidebar (or other content) only on the directory page this is how I do it...
I create 2 divs in the custom HTML part of the skin (header and footer), a sidebar div and a main-content div. (See "Basic Skin with sidebar" in the Community Skin Library.) Then I add code to hide the the sidebar: .sidebar {display: none;} To unhide the sidebar on the directory page use: #directory_default .sidebar {display: block;} The main content div uses a left margin to push it over from the sidebar. To make the left margin only on the directory page use: #directory_default .main-content {margin-left: 200px;} |

I ended up finding it easier to create two skins. Thanks for the help, everyone!
