XF 1.5 Moving controls area

Hi @Remixful ,

Open the post template and CUT this block from the template:
Code:
        <div class="messageMeta ToggleTriggerAnchor">
           
            <div class="privateControls">
                <xen:if is="{$post.canInlineMod}"><input type="checkbox" name="posts[]" value="{$post.post_id}" class="InlineModCheck item" data-target="#post-{$post.post_id}" title="{xen:phrase select_this_post_by_x, 'name={$post.username}'}" /></xen:if>
                <span class="item muted">
                    <span class="authorEnd"><xen:username user="$post" class="author" />,</span>
                    <a href="{xen:link threads/post-permalink, $thread, 'post={$post}'}" title="{xen:phrase permalink}" class="datePermalink"><xen:datetime time="$post.post_date" /></a>
                </span>
                <xen:hook name="post_private_controls" params="{xen:array 'post={$post}'}">
                <xen:if is="{$post.canEdit}">
                    <a href="{xen:link posts/edit, $post}" class="item control edit {xen:if $xenOptions.messageInlineEdit, OverlayTrigger}"
                        data-href="{xen:link posts/edit-inline, $post}" data-overlayOptions="{&quot;fixed&quot;:false}"
                        data-messageSelector="#post-{$post.post_id}"><span></span>{xen:phrase edit}</a>
                    <xen:require js="js/xenforo/discussion.js" />
                </xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$post.edit_count} && {$post.canViewHistory}"><a href="{xen:link posts/history, $post}" class="item control history ToggleTrigger"><span></span>{xen:phrase history}</a></xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$post.canDelete}"><a href="{xen:link posts/delete, $post}" class="item control delete OverlayTrigger"><span></span>{xen:phrase delete}</a></xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$post.canCleanSpam}"><a href="{xen:link spam-cleaner, $post}" class="item control deleteSpam OverlayTrigger"><span></span>{xen:phrase spam}</a></xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$canViewIps} AND {$post.ip_id}"><a href="{xen:link posts/ip, $post}" class="item control ip OverlayTrigger"><span></span>{xen:phrase ip}</a></xen:if>
               
                <xen:if is="{$post.canWarn}">
                    <a href="{xen:link members/warn, $post, 'content_type=post', 'content_id={$post.post_id}'}" class="item control warn"><span></span>{xen:phrase warn}</a>
                <xen:elseif is="{$post.warning_id} && {$canViewWarnings}" />
                    <a href="{xen:link warnings, $post}" class="OverlayTrigger item control viewWarning"><span></span>{xen:phrase view_warning}</a>
                </xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$post.canReport}">
                    <a href="{xen:link posts/report, $post}" class="OverlayTrigger item control report" data-cacheOverlay="false"><span></span>{xen:phrase report}</a>
                </xen:if>
               
                </xen:hook>
            </div>
           
            <div class="publicControls">
                <a href="{xen:link threads/post-permalink, $thread, 'post={$post}'}" title="{xen:phrase permalink}" class="item muted postNumber hashPermalink OverlayTrigger" data-href="{xen:link posts/permalink, $post}">#{xen:calc '{$post.position} + 1'}</a>
                <xen:hook name="post_public_controls" params="{xen:array 'post={$post}'}">
                <xen:if is="{$post.canLike}">
                    <a href="{xen:link posts/like, $post}" class="LikeLink item control {xen:if $post.like_date, unlike, like}" data-container="#likes-post-{$post.post_id}"><span></span><span class="LikeLabel">{xen:if $post.like_date, {xen:phrase unlike}, {xen:phrase like}}</span></a>
                </xen:if>
                <xen:if is="{$canReply}">
                    <xen:if is="{$xenOptions.multiQuote}"><a href="{xen:link threads/reply, $thread, 'quote={$post.post_id}'}"
                        data-messageid="{$post.post_id}"
                        class="MultiQuoteControl JsOnly item control"
                        title="{xen:phrase toggle_multi_quote_tooltip}"><span></span><span class="symbol">{xen:phrase multiquote_add}</span></a></xen:if>
                    <a href="{xen:link threads/reply, $thread, 'quote={$post.post_id}'}"
                        data-postUrl="{xen:link posts/quote, $post}"
                        data-tip="#MQ-{$post.post_id}"
                        class="ReplyQuote item control reply"
                        title="{xen:phrase reply_quoting_this_message}"><span></span>{xen:phrase reply}</a>
                </xen:if>
                </xen:hook>
            </div>
        </div>

Then open the message template and paste DIRECTLY BELOW this block:
Code:
        <div class="messageContent">      
            <article>
                <blockquote class="messageText SelectQuoteContainer ugc baseHtml{xen:if $message.isIgnored, ' ignored'}">
                    <xen:include template="ad_message_body" />
                    {xen:raw $message.messageHtml}
                    <div class="messageTextEndMarker">&nbsp;</div>
                </blockquote>
            </article>
           
            {xen:raw $messageContentAfterTemplate}
        </div>
        </xen:hook>
       
        <xen:if is="{$message.last_edit_date}">
            <div class="editDate">
            <xen:if is="{$message.user_id} == {$message.last_edit_user_id}">
                {xen:phrase last_edited}: <xen:datetime time="{$message.last_edit_date}" />
            <xen:else />
                {xen:phrase last_edited_by_moderator}: <xen:datetime time="{$message.last_edit_date}" />
            </xen:if>
            </div>
        </xen:if>
       
        <xen:if is="{$visitor.content_show_signature} && {$message.signature}">
            <xen:if hascontent="true">
                <div class="baseHtml signature messageText ugc{xen:if $message.isIgnored, ' ignored'}"><aside><xen:contentcheck>{xen:raw $message.signatureHtml}</xen:contentcheck></aside></div>
            </xen:if>
        </xen:if>
       
        {xen:raw $messageAfterTemplate}
       
        <div id="likes-{$messageId}"><xen:if is="{$message.likes}"><xen:include template="likes_summary" /></xen:if></div>
    </div>

That will move the user controls below the signature - which should be a good starting point. You can tailor further.

But just be really careful - if you have any add-ons that have template modifications that edits the behaviour of the user control links may break as the expected code that it expects to extend would be in a different template..
 
Can we get a link to your board so I can see your code? Maybe the layout is different if you're using a custom theme.

I tested it quickly on the default theme and those changes should definitely break the user controls out of that container.
