no it does not if they are in the forum. because this is not in the forum that will not happen. for that to happen you would need to understand all of the parts that are needed to be called for it to work like the forum as peregrine explained. But not knowing how to implement it does not help you use it.
so for now I recommend you simply ad the sign in link and the register link. As the others will not work unless they are logged in anyway. They will just redirect them to sign in if they are not logged in.
you can't that s part of the forum template and it is called a sprite, that means many images in one image and uses css to call the image based on a coordinate. What you can do is add the images yourself next to the links. using a < span > tag
<li><a href="http://quollcraft.net/forum/messages/all" class="MeButton FlyoutButton" title="Inbox"><span><img src="url to image"/><span>Inbox</a></li>
yes of course it did not show, you need to add a url to an image. You need to use a web inspector to help yourself see what your error is. This is basic html and you said you were good with html. So show me by paying more attention here .
does src="url to image" go somewhere ? no it is not a url. So what to do? add a url to an image an icon anything you want to show there. Use some imagination here.
Critical thinking is a prerequisite not just paste and expect it to work. I can't do it all for you. If that is what you want you need to hire me. I can give you free advice the best way I can. But the resources to achieve what you want are all over the internet in the form of tutorials if you lack the most basic skills like adding a url for an image .
FYI: running the current 2.3a from the develop branch is batshit crazy. I'm not sure it's actually running anywhere in our entire infrastructure for a forum, not even testing. It's completely diverged from master and has no patches from the last year.
We've actually been psyching ourselves up to merge that insanely-diverged branch back into master for approximately 2 months now. Also, it's regressing to the 2.2 versioning once it comes in from the cold.
this is a simplistic - possibly not good way to determine if signed in or not.
<?php
// replace ["Vanilla]" in line below with the cookie name in your config.php
if ($_COOKIE["Vanilla"]) {
echo '<a href="/vanilla/profile">profile';
} else {
echo 'Sign In';
}
?>
here is a better way:
add the code below to any external pages - and read the comments in the code.
Make sure you have PATH ROOT defined correctly.
for getting external session info in a non-vanilla web page.
I added the links for you

But when i put it on a different page eg: www.quollcraft.net/vote it shows this error:

@peregrine I managed to get this code to work. how ever is just works on the home page. When i copied it to a different page: www.quollcraft.net/vote it showed this error:

@vrijvlinder But what u said is the basic idea.
no it does not if they are in the forum. because this is not in the forum that will not happen. for that to happen you would need to understand all of the parts that are needed to be called for it to work like the forum as peregrine explained.

Ok Thanks!
@vrijvlinder Also how do I get the little Icons that show next to the text links
you can't that s part of the forum template and it is called a sprite, that means many images in one image and uses css to call the image based on a coordinate. What you can do is add the images yourself next to the links. using a < span > tag
❌ ✊ ♥. ¸. ••. ¸♥¸. ••. ¸♥ ✊ ❌
I added that and It didnt show the image. Do i have to add a referance thing to it?
yes of course it did not show, you need to add a url to an image. You need to use a web inspector to help yourself see what your error is. This is basic html and you said you were good with html. So show me by paying more attention here .

I changed the "url to image" to a link to the icon and It still didnt work thats what I ment to say.

tl;dr holy crap. bad idea.
I have been updating it on that with some custom stuff @linc
