I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Okay, I was reading the last person that had this problem
https://help.forumotion.com/frequently-asked-questions-f5/forum-widgets-t22589.htm#126813
and although it was apparently clear to them I am still having a problem. I got Step #1 - pasted into the CSS Stylesheet (which I am assuming I can paste anywhere), but Step #2 is my problem.
The instructions say go to (display / homepage / configure) and paste the provided solution. I am not finding this location. The choices that I see are Homepage / (Generalities or Structure and hierarchy or Headers & Navigation) none of these provide any place for code that I can see. I did see on Generalities a Homepage message box that I tried to paste the code in but nothing happened. On the CSS Stylesheet I am seeing no homepage reference. Where does the code provided go.
Can some one please help me.
Thank you

Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Please make sure that you're in advanced mode of the administration panel. The homepage message can be found at:
1. Administration Panel (advanced mode)
2. Display Tab
3. Generalities
4. Homepage message, it's a big box and you can't miss it.

Okay I did that and I still am not seeing it. I did see where I originally made an error by pasting the step #1 code in the CSS Stylesheet (which hides the text), but I corrected that by deleteing it.
Any other suggestions?

Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
For step 1, the code is only necessary if you're on phpBB 2. So it won't be needed since you're on phpBB 3. Just set the widths of your widget columns and drag and drop widgets to your liking.
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Okay I must be really doing something wrong. I deleted the code listed in step #1 that I pasted in error, I pasted the code in the Homepage / textbox per step #2, I have set the pixel count to 180 on column 3. Why can't I see the widgets? Could it be a color issue? White on White? but if that was the case I should be able to see them when I cursor over them.
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
If you are running on phpBB 3 then no extra coding is necessary. Simply use the forum widgets management section of the forum to display your forum widgets. If possible, could I have a screenshot of what it looks like on your forum widgets management section?
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Maybe there is not enough space for the widgets .)

Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Hey that sounds logical, where do I set the width of the actual forum content?
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
ACP - General - Forum - Configuration - Forum width (number or %) :
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Okay thanks, however that still didn't work. I set the page to 50% and used the minimum pixels for the widgets at 180 and still nothing. Any other ideas?
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Okay, it was at 98% originally, I changed it to 50%, the system wouldn't accept that so set it at 75%, and then I retried it at 100%. No matter what it still isn't displaying. Now what?
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Give me your forum URL, if i can't do something then the theme is the problem

Whoa! Never EVER post your forum link with an SID number at the end, especially a link to the administration panel. I have removed it for your safety.
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Hmm.. try look in your CSS for this:
and replace it with :
Edit: PS: do it for the right side too its under it
- Code:
#content-container div#left {
width: 0px;
float: left;
margin-right: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
}
and replace it with :
- Code:
#content-container div#left {
width: 180px;
}
Edit: PS: do it for the right side too its under it
Re: I can not display the widgets on my phpBB3 forum
Genius!!! that works!!! Thank you very much. For some reason just adjusting the left made the right side also display. I don't know what happened, but it works and that is good enough for me.
