Move chat on top of site

perhane

Hello! Im using vanilla 2.1 and bootstramp slate thema, the chat appears botoom of my website i want it above the search? How do i move it upp there?

hgtonight

I believe the search box is not a module. This means you will have to edit that theme's master tpl file: https://github.com/kasperisager/vanilla-bootstrap/blob/5e7ec7dad31794548d2ac62955aa7036b7a732a0/views/default.master.tpl#L52-L54

You will then have to include the Van2Shout module on the discussions page only. E.g.:

{if $BodyID == 'vanilla_discussions_index'}
  {module name="Van2ShoutDiscussionsModule"}
{/if}

You need to prevent Van2Shout from adding the module itself. Comment out or remove the following lines:
