Separate the edit button?

djh_

I want to take the Edit Post option out of the flyout menu and have it as a button I can style with CSS. How difficult would that be?

Cheers.

Easy. You would have to create a custom theme where you override the view that you would like to change. The hardest thing would be to find out where that view is.
I assume it will be either in /applications/vanilla/views/discussion or /applications/vanilla/views/comment
But you can always look at the html of your forum, and search for e.g. the class name in the source (or on github: https://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/search?q=Flyout&ref=cmdform)
Look in your /themes directory, see how overriding of views is done in one of these themes and do so for the view you need to change.

you might also need to figure out which event to trigger it on as to placement, and the events and views available are also dependent on the version of vanilla you use.

e.g. in 2.1

via a plugin or theme options....
you could trigger on events and use

                 unset($Options["EditDiscussion"]);
                 $Sender->EventArguments['DiscussionOptions'] = $Options;

to remove it.

and then trigger on event and place it somewhere else.

as well as comment options in 2.1

$Options = $Sender->EventArguments['CommentOptions'];   
 unset($Options["EditDiscussion"]);
$Sender->EventArguments['CommentOptions'] = $Options;

and not a whole lot different for 2.0.x
