2.1b - Moving the User Menu from sidebar to somewhere else

Zhaan

Hello again, VF gurus!

What would be the easiest or/and fastest way to move the user menu (notifications/settings/favourites etc.) from the sidebar to one of my custom menus? I'm working on a new design completely void of any sidebars, so I need to figure this out asap.

Is there some kind of relevant Smarty tag I can add to my default.master.tpl? Note that I'm on 2.1b, and the theme I'm using as my base is EmbedFriendly.

Thanks in advance.

Just change the panel layout . Move the panel either before the content in the tpl then change the style to make it inline and adjust the floats left and right of the modules using also css to get it how you want
I did that on a page I wanted the panel but not as long and under the content. So it can be done.

You can also find the modules code, their target, it would say asset target panel or something, and make it be content instead of panel. Make it all got to the content area , then make the content the width of the page too.

If you are getting rid of the panel completely, just include the module where ever you want it in your tpl file. E.g. {module name="MeModule}. Then just get rid of the panel content area (remove {asset name='Panel'} from your tpl file).

Yep, that's what I was looking for. Thank you both.
