Install this theme component

Hello

Compose Center is a place for all type of composing options. The idea was a place where you can easily handle your composing content.

Like:

• New Topic
• New Message
• New Chat Message
• Drafts
• Pending Posts

I don’t want to hack the original layout and design so this made for the Default theme. Originally it can work pretty cool with a three column theme right sidebar. So it replaces the default + New Topic button with a Compose button. The content opens in DMenu and show a banner, profile avatar, user status, new topic/open draft, message, chat buttons, drafts and pending posts.

Quick buttons and links:

• on banner My Drafts button: link to drafts
• on banner pencil icon (edit): link to preferences/profile
• on avatar (hover) pencil icon (edit): link to preferences/account
• user status: opens user status modal
• new topic/open draft button: opens topic composer
• message button: opens pm composer
• chat buttons: opens new chat message modal

The banner background is the blurred profile avatar if the user card background hasn’t setted up.

Chat enabled is required to use this theme component! You can enable it with chat enabled site setting.

Credit: I’ve integrated the New Topic Header Button theme component in it. This is inspired by Central theme profile block.

Nice work Don, installed on my personal site and I really this feature.

I’m not getting the new topic button on the header though, even if I preview from the component in admin.

Thanks Lilly, I am glad you like it!

No, sorry I mean I integrate that component functionality in the DMenu. So the New Topic button code you see in DMenu is mostly coming from the New Topic Header Button theme component.

Hah, after I posted, I was wondering if I was just misunderstanding the OP. Thank you for clarifying. (And when I think about it, I’d prefer to not have it in the header anyways.)

I really like that composer modal and would like to be able to open it from the sidebar, but one can create a custom section to do the same things.

I like the look of the little pop-up you made

Is it possible to customize the color of this button to be the same as the button color of the theme you previously posted?

I’ve found a bug that makes the customized state settings disappear after refreshing.

Hello

@Monikas

Is it possible to customize the color of this button to be the same as the button color of the theme you previously posted?

I’ve added to the button the create-topic id so it will use that style now. I’ve also noticed a missing point…this button is appears to anon too. I’ve fixed it.

I’ve found a bug that makes the customized state settings disappear after refreshing.

I think this is an issue with user status in core. I have already a topic about it here: User status stops working for admins but I have to investigate it more… If you navigate to a topic or somewhere then it will appear again. So this issue is not related with this theme component.
