Adding Custom HTML To The Sidebar

[Ian Eberle]

I was wondering what the easiest way was to add custom HTML to the sidebar.

If you look at my homepage (www.aquaticforums.net), you will see there are Facebook and Twitter widgets and things in the sidebar. I want to add those same widgets (Facebook, Twitter, Alexa, and eventually MailChimp) to my forum (www.aquaticforums.net/forums).

Anyone know?

Well this would be the easiest way if you want to be honest...

sidebar addon

instructions are in the zip...
you can copy and paste the example block before you start editing and make multiple blocks...
if you get stuck give me a holler...

If you find it useful let me know and I will add it to the resource manager...

You can also work directly with the templates.

To add to the existing sidebar on the index page:

Or to add a sidebar to other pages:

Of course I would make an addon and not even think to use the search feature...logic wins again...
