Place van2shout at top of categoriesList

groone

Hello everyone. I am trying to get van2shout to be placed on top of the categories page that I have set as the primary page rather than in the side bar but everything I do places van2shout in the admin dashboard and really messes it up for some reason. Is there an easy way for a new person to vanilla to be able to do this? I've looked at theme documents but it looks like it's hard coded to be in the side panel so I'm not sure what and where I need to edit. I would like to do a physical move and not something in styles. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Seems as if there is a setting for that. Try adding $Configuration['Plugin']['Van2Shout']['ContentAsset'] = 'Content' to your /conf/config.php

Please post addon related questions directly under the addon by using the "Ask a Question" link on the addon page

Thanks, that places the Van2Shout box at the bottom under Discussions and not Categories. When I got to Categories the box is gone and no longer in the panel. This is the test site I'm working http://forums.undeadlords.net/udl where I have Categories as my primary page and not Discussions.

No, it's called being really new to Vanilla forums, I created my account here last night. Once I know the code, the in's and out then I can start being a giver. Unfortunately one must ask questions, read, and study before one can become as such.

Thank you very very much for the assistance. The combination work of both you and R_J allowed me to get what I needed.
