add text between breadcrumbs and topic list

jackmaessen · February 2015

I want to add some text between the breadcrumbs and the topic list. Which public function do i need?
By the way: is there some list of all public functions so that i can see on what position the text is parsed on the forum?

The plugin Eventi is a great help for that

Ok. I now found what i need but i have to use the argument "content" for it otherwise the text appears also in the sidepanel. How can i do that?
This is what i made now but does not work; without the if($Text) it does work but is also visible in the sidepanel

 public function DiscussionsController_BeforeRenderAsset_Handler($Sender) {

  $Text = $Sender->EventArguments['Comment'];
     if ($Text) {
        if (! Gdn::Session()->IsValid() ) {
          echo '<div class="DismissMessage">This text is only visible if you are logged out!</div>';
        }
      }
   }

If you want to add more content anywhere the best way is by making a module. Please try the Widgets plugin as a guide.

You can have a module contain anything. Text or images or whatever. Then you can reorganize the modules however you want.

@vrijvlinder is right. Look at the default.master.tpl:

      <div id="Body">
         <div class="Row">
            <div class="BreadcrumbsWrapper">{breadcrumbs}</div>
            <div class="Column PanelColumn" id="Panel">
               {module name="MeModule"}
               {asset name="Panel"}
            </div>

In general you can only hope to find events in {...} blocks. There is no way to insert anything between div#Body and {breadcrumbs}. So in order to achieve what you are trying you have to write a custom default.master.php i.e. a custom theme where you add your own module at the place you like it to appear.

If you only want to show static text in case a user is not logged in, it is quite simple. Add the following code to your custom default.master.tpl:

{if $User.SignedIn}
  Content added here will only be shown to logged in users
{/if}
