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?
