Upgrading: If you upgrade from 1.0.0, I prefare you uninstall the product (Because the product ID was changed) and revert adv_portal template, then reinstall it as the following instructions.

Installation:
  1. Import product-collapse_sidbars_vba.xml into your PRODUCTS by going to
    Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
    IF YOU ARE UPGRADING, be sure to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".
  2. Upload 4 images (left_vbacollapse.gif, left_vbacollapse_collapsed.gif, right_vbacollapse.gif and right_vbacollapse_collapsed.gif) to forum/images/buttons directory.
  3. In adv_portal template do
    1. Find:
      HTML Code:
      width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]"
      Replace with:
      HTML Code:
      width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]" id="collapseobj_left_sidebar" style="{$vbulletin->left_sidebar_style}"
    2. Find:
      HTML Code:
      width="$vba_style[portal_rightcolwidth]"
      Replace with:
      HTML Code:
      width="$vba_style[portal_rightcolwidth]" id="collapseobj_right_sidebar" style="{$vbulletin->right_sidebar_style}"
    3. Find:
      HTML Code:
      $home[centerblocks]
      Add above:
      HTML Code:
      <if condition="$show[left_column] and $vboptions[allow_collapse_left_sidebar]">
<a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('left_sidebar')" style="float:$stylevar[left]; margin-bottom:2px"><img alt="" border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/$stylevar[left]_vbacollapse{$vbulletin->left_sidebar_image}.gif" id="collapseimg_left_sidebar" /></a>
</if>
<if condition="$show[right_column] and $vboptions[allow_collapse_right_sidebar]">
<a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('right_sidebar')" style="float:$stylevar[right]; margin-bottom:2px"><img alt="" border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/$stylevar[right]_vbacollapse{$vbulletin->right_sidebar_image}.gif" id="collapseimg_right_sidebar" /></a>
