There will be no refunds after the mod was shipped. I can't promise that every single feature request will be added to the next release so keep that in mind. But i will try to do my best. If you bought a modification from be before you will get the product in less then 24 hours (usually less then that). If you are a premium member here you will also get it in less then 24 hours. If you are a new customer and a regular member you will need to wait for at least 48 hours before receiving the modification. That's just a precaution i have to take in order to reduce the fraud to as low as i can. If more then 48 hours have passed and you did not receive anything yet then PM me with your email addressed you used when purchasing it and i will look into your case. Since this is a premium modification redistribution and transfers are not allowed! If you would like to resell the modifications then contact me by a PM and we will see what we can do. Each purchase represents a license, Each licenses is valid for one domain so if you need this modification on several sites you will need to purchase several licenses for the usage or purchase a multi license at a lower cost. here to download this file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That mod is a marketer's dream application! :drool: You can make specific side bars in topic or forum discussion for certain pages, user groups, etc. :sorcerer: Welcome back, Vince.

wmarcy Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I looked at your demo board, but was unable to ascertain what this does, or how it looks. Do you have a demo of it running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince G. Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I looked at your demo board, but was unable to ascertain what this does, or how it looks. Do you have a demo of it running? I'm afraid i don't have an online demo i can show it. But this basically allows you to create custom side bar blocks (like the one that you have on the right when viewing the board index) but offers a lot of features such as adding the block on the left,right, top,bottom of the board, selecting who can see which blocks, selecting where the blocks going to show (index view, specific forum, specific topic(s), member profile , certain application page etc... ) You can put any content in the custom blocks including HTML and PHP so you can pretty much do what ever.

Cyrem Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Very nice. - Suggestion: Option to hide the block title text on that block. - Bug: When you select groups who can see it, your selection resets when you go to edit the block again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digityman Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 You should get this: Vince, that link just brings me back to this same product. Are you saying it works with 3.2.3 ? Also, my main interest is adding top blocks *below* my shoutbox. You can view it here --> hockeyforums.net. Would that be possible with this mod?

Vince G. Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 havent tested this with 3.2 so i'll have to try it out, i'm pretty sure it does. Regarding the placement of the blocks looking at the placement of the shoutbox the top blocks will appear above the shoutbox. Hope that helps.

cadmium911 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey, what is the difference between this and the (DP33) Global Sidebars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince G. Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 This has a lot more features such as: - Allows you to set PHP/JS/HTML code within blocks - Position the blocks in 4 different places (top, bottom, left, right) - Allows you to display blocks for certain user groups - Allows you to display blocks only in certain pages/applications This is a more robust sidebar blocks application.

jackflash Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hey, what is the difference between this and the (DP33) Global Sidebars? I have tried them all and this one is simply the best. You can place a block or category in any particular forum or topic - and the block can be on the top, bottom, left or right. You can have as many as you want and arrange them the way that you like. A marketer's dream app really. robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
