Step 1: Go to CP -> Design management (templates) -> General appearance of forum pages
Step 2: Add before $GLOBAL_BFOOTER$Code
<div>
<div><span class="forumh3"><h3>Popular Topics</h3></span>$MYINF_1$</div>
<div><span class="forumh3"><h3>Last Comments</h3></span>$MYINF_2$</div>
<div><span class="forumh3"><h3>Top Users</h3></span>$MYINF_3$</div>
</div>
Step 3: Create new informers
[ Comments · Entries · Entry date D · Entries: 5 · Columns: 1 · Title length: 130 ]
for examples:
Code
<table>
<tr>
<td class="top-users">
<?if($USER_AVATAR_URL$)?>
<img alt="avatar" title="$NAME$" src="$USER_AVATAR_URL$" width="50" height="50">
<?else?>
<img width="50" height="50" src="http://ucoztemplates.com/images/noavatar1.gif">
<?endif?></td>
<td style="vertical-align:top;">
<div style="color:white;padding-top: 5px;"><span class="inf-title"><a href="$PROFILE_URL$"><b>$USERNAME$</b></a> </span>to template <a href="$ENTRY_URL$"><b>$ENTRY_TITLE$</b></a></div>
<div class="inf-message">$MESSAGE$</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The main difficulty will be the visual identity of the sections.
