:woman_technologist:t2: Overview

In the default mobile view, the Sign Up button is hidden and the existing Log In button can be confusing for new visitors to Discourse forums (anonymous view).

This simple Discourse theme component replaces the existing Log In button in mobile view with a combined button with clearer labeling - the default is Sign Up / Log In. The button still links to the same log in page with the sign up link.

:bulb: Notes

  • This component is compatible with the Left side hamburger menu on mobile but centring the site logo may cause crowding issues in the header.
  • Todo - turn it into a dropdown with 2 buttons.
