XF 1.2 Add tsviewer to sidebar

[Ren3gade10]

What would be the easiest way for me to add sidebars to my website on Xenforo?

I am wanting to add a few custom sidebars and whatnot. But TSviewer is the most important.

create a new template and put your tsviewer code in there., call the template custom_TSviewer. Then go to the template that you want to add the sidebar block to. See if there is already the following code in the template:

<xen:sidebar>
    /* sidebar content between the xen:sidebar tabs */
</xen:sidebar>

Add

<xen:include template="custom_TSviewer" />

between the sidebar tags.

There is a great FAQ for template edits here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/

When trying to save the template i get.. The following templates contained errors and were not saved: custom_TSviewer: 1) custom_TSviewer - Line 14: Circular reference found in template includes.

This is the tsviewer code..

<div id="ts3viewer_1024178" style="width:; background-color:;"> </div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.tsviewer.com/short_expire/js/ts3viewer_loader.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

ts3v_display.init(ts3v_url_1, 1024178, 100);

Nvm I did it wrong. let me try again xD

 

[Ren3gade10]

Where do I insert
<!-- block: sidebar_online_staff -->
<xen:sidebar>
<xen:include template="custom_TSviewer" />
</xen:sidebar>

I am still using the default template. But I don't know where to insert that code at. What template file?

 

[dvsDave]

Where do you want the sidebar?

 

[Ren3gade10]

On the right side under Members online now

 

[dvsDave]

in the forum_list template, find:

<xen:hook name="forum_list_sidebar">
        <xen:include template="sidebar_online_users" />

Put the template include under the next line.
