Enable the My Profile sidebar box??

rtpaul

Is there a way to get the My Profile box as seen on the sidebar of this forum? The default Vanilla install and theme doesnt seem to show this.

That's a custom theme modification / plugin that Vanillaforums is using.

Shame.. seems like a feature that most people would expect/want as part of the install if they see it on the demo here.

Maybe with some logic you can figure out how they did it on this site :-)
On your own site, when you go to your own profile, you'll see the same box, correct?
Figure out which {code} they used for that box (it's in the template)
Then try to put that {code} in your template.
Does it get filled or does it stay empty.
etc, etc.

You can also just use CSS to move the menu in the header to the panel :) or, modify default.master.tpl.

Check the Ultimate Theme Guide http://vanillaforums.org/page/the-ultimate-theme-guide-for-designers for more info on theming.

This is actually a core module that you can turn on with a configuration option. Add this to your conf/config.php:

$Configuration['Garden']['Modules']['ShowSignedInModule'] = TRUE;

Thanks Mark, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Did I miss that in the documentation or are there other hidden modules we can enable via config?
