I patched sidecontent module from HEAD to make it work with Drupal 5.0 using upgrade instructions here: http://drupal.org/node/64279
It seems to be working. I am not a Drupal expert so I apologize if I forgot updating something.

A few comments:
- You can enable sidecontent for each content type at Administer > Content Management > Content Types (Submission form)
- Uninstalling works but it does not remove variables storing module state for each content type (as they are named dynamically; ej: "sidecontent_page"). Not a big deal but any ideas how to do it properly?

The sidecontent_module_01.patch works properly from what I can tell. I say commit it.
I can't vouch for the postgres patch, but it looks sound.

Thanks, will review the patch and update the module, in two weeks time.

Slowly updating all my modules each weekend.

Nice one Robert. Trying out the patch now, will update to your next release when it becomes available.

I've applied this patch and I'm unable to get the module to appear in the admin -> modules screen in Drupal 5.1.
Any ideas?? Anybody else having the same problem? Would anybody be willing to upload the fixed module in case I've done something wrong? (I applied it manually, but I've triple-checked it and can't find any problem).

Thanks! This is a favorite module and we're desperate to use it for 5.1!

I tried patch #1, it works stable enough.

Sammos: Maybe you did not apply the patch successfully. Check if sidecontent.info file exists.
