How to enable the upcoming stories in sidebar?

[can8dn]

I have noticed on a number of other pligg sites that the sidebar is working for upcoming/queued news on the front page int he sidebar. I have looked at the files and nothing obvious is standing out. Is there a secret to get this module up and running within the Digital Nature template?

Thanks,

What is your website and what version of Pligg are you using?

Hi there,

I am using 9.1 if that helps, sorry I did not mention it earlier.

In the .js file for the special effects for the sidebar all of the other functions seem to be enabled but an entry for the upcoming stories sidebar does not exist.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Yeah, I'm also wondering could this be done and how in digital nature. I'm using 9.0 version.

somewhere in sidebar.tpl place:

{assign var=sidebar_module value="sidebar_stories"}{include file=$the_template_sidebar_modules."/sidebar_stories.tpl"}

but you will need to add some css for that module too...

I tried this a while ago, very complicated, the sidebar effects wouldn't work on it, I got rid of it.

unu if you have the complete step by step, that would help.

I think someone posted a short tutorial on how to add a sidebar box, its somewhere in these threads.

basically, you have to edit sidebarfx.js and add another entry for the upcoming section.

in the rules array, see the other entries and add one for upcoming:

PHP Code:

'#upcomingbox h1' : function(el){
    el.onclick................................ 


just copy/paste a previous one and change the variable names.

near the end of file, add the box id:
boxIds = $("rssbox","tagbox","categorybox","loginbox","side navbox","aboutbox", "upcomingbox");

and finally add the html in sidebar_stories.tpl - see for example the about.tpl sidebar module - just change the names...
