boro_boy Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Is it possible to add a different sidebar for each forum? Maybe have the default sidebar on the main forum page on all sub forum until you select to have a different one. I run a football forum and I would like to show only Premiership information such as live score, league table in the side bar, then I the Championship forum add a different sidebar which has the championship table, live scores etc. If this isn't possible it would be a good option in future releases.

Joel R Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 No Sidebars are based upon the template. So any page that uses the same template will use the same sidebar. This suggestion has been requested over and over again. You can check peer to peer support to see if any solutions have been found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boro_boy Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Ok thank you, I did try to search on the forum before I posted this but I didn't find anything as the search isn't the best for some reason. Thanks again. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosters Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Let me know if you have the pages application and if you're interested into testing a custom application for this:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does exactly what I was asking in the original post. You simply go into Admin > Forums then edit the forum you want, click on the Blocks tab. Then add the blocks that you want in the sidebar (Blocks which have been created in the pages app) then add them, you can change the order of the blocks easily too. There are two options for this: To have the sidebar within the forum To have the sidebar appear in the topic view on that forum This is a great app and one that many people will need to use to have custom information for each forum. I'll be using it to show Premier League information when people are inside the Premier League forum and then if they go into the Championship forum, they will then see Championship information. View of the settings page in admin cp for my Premier League forum Image shows the blocks I've created with the Pages Application from Invision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosters Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Waiting for approval but shouldn't take long since we were using this for a while and @Michael Yates also didn't run into any issues while his testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
