Moving member login
 

Yeah, I'm a newbie with probably a very simple question. I did a search but nothing I could find gives an exact 'HowTo'.

Here's my question . . . I want to move the login/logout function to the top of the forum just below this:

Welcome back, xxxx
View New Posts
[login/logout]

I'm hoping someone would be able to explain 1,2,3 exactly how I can accomplish this.

I can follow directions - just yesterday installed the expand/collapse forum hack - my first! - without a hitch. So I've done some mucking around the templates but mostly it's still foreign territory.

Remember, it's good karma to help out eager newbies! :classic:

Find $logincode in your forumhome template and move it under the welcome text :)

Thanks for the quick response. I kinda' know what that means as I actually located the code but . . . I'm not too sure how much to move or where to move it. Keep in mind that six months ago, I couldn't even read HTML! Mucking around all the PHP and MSQL code makes me very nervous because I don't have a clue - yet - what any of those non-HTML symbols do or how it should be laid out. So could you please be more specific? The hack I did was sooo easy because everything was spelled out clearly. If you could put something in that kind of format, it would be a snap and then I'd have a a good idea of how to figure something out on my own next time!! ;)

Go to your Admin CP
.Log In
..Scroll down the left hand side (the menu)
...Find Templates
...Click Modify
....Find Forum Home Page Templates
.....Click edit on forumhome
......Scroll down nearly to the bottom, you should be able to find $logincode , if not search for it in the little search box provided.
.......Highlight $logincode then drag it up the page, drop it to where you want. If you want it to be under what you said them drag it to $welcometext or just below it. Click Save. Now go to your Forums home page and you should see it has been moved.

WOW! That simple. I thought sure there would be a whole lot of code that needed moving. Thanks a bunch!!!
