I've rolled this fix into the latest version, thanks to @YAcosta and @vrijvlinder!
OK, all I wanted was to add the Guest "Howdy Stranger!" to the side panel. Here is what I did:
plugins/CustomPages/default.php contained:
$Sender->MasterView = $MasterView;
$Sender->Render($Path.$Page.'.php');
edited to become:
$Sender->AddModule('GuestModule');
$Sender->MasterView = $MasterView;
$Sender->Render($Path.$Page.'.php');
Worked for me.
You could likely add the other modules (Categories, etc.) individually, too? You may need to copy the relevant .php file from application/vanilla/views/modules to themes/YOURTHEME/views/modules
How do I close this or accept my own answer?
yep, I added the logos.
the logos will be added to the plugin zips when there is a more worthwhile reason for uploading a new version.
I think even changing the text in the description will bump it.
I think things should only be bumped if there's a new zip.
