XF 1.4 Move Username, Inbox, and Alerts Dropdowns to Moderation Bar

[Amaury]

So I'm working on a new style exclusively for our site and one user made the suggestion to move the above mentioned dropdowns to the moderation bar. How can I accomplish this? I know it'd at least involve the moderator_bar and navigation_visitor_tab templates, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about it.

Thanks for any help!

There's a few steps involved, Forsaken posted a guide awhile back if you wanted to follow that.

In general the concept is there though, although it's possibly outdated by now.

@Russ, I might need a new guide or something because it's definitely outdated. Looks like some things have changed as I can't find some of the code.

We seem to have run into a bit of a problem (@Russ, maybe you can help).

@mike406 pointed out that regular users can't see the dropdowns due to how permissions are setup in that regular users can't view the moderator bar. Obviously, we don't want to be giving them moderator permissions, so how can we work around this?

what conditionals do you have in the page_container for the login and mod bar?

<xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
<xen:include template="moderator_bar" />
<xen:elseif is="!{$visitor.user_id} && !{$hideLoginBar}" />
<xen:include template="login_bar" />
</xen:if>
<xen:comment><xen:if is="{$visitor.is_moderator} || {$visitor.is_admin}">
    <xen:include template="moderator_bar" />
<xen:elseif is="!{$visitor.user_id} && !{$hideLoginBar}" />
    <xen:include template="login_bar" />
</xen:if></xen:comment>

We just got it sorted, actually.
