Is it possible to move the post specific controls

[Boy_Wonder]

Into the floating bar and not break it? By the floating bar I'm referring to the bar that detaches from the top bit of the post and contains pages etc

Anyone?

The thread action bar can theoretically house any variable available on the page.

I say theoretically because the problem you then run into is making sure each control option is properly connected to the correct post. The action bar afaik does not have any ties to posts themselves, and so an educated guess would be that if it were possible you'd need to use a plugin / javascript to make sure the controls are correctly identifying each post.

My recommendation would be simply to try it sans js; the post controls all have variables (assuming you also want quote / edit etc in addition to the cog menu) so simply move them; you may need to use CSS to adjust the positioning and have it affixed to the action bar.

My suspicion is that it won't function, but you won't know til you try.

I was thinking of using simple javascript to append the post controls to the action bar - theoretically then no links will be broken

Edit: Tried both ways they don't work sadly

It would be more tricky than simply appending the controls. Each control has its own format that includes the post ID per post, (if you hover over the quote button, for example, the URL is /quote/postID or something to that effect) so anything you do to move the controls into a floating bar would have to also be able to append the post ID to the control buttons in order for them to function. This would therefore require the action bar to be able to recognise which post it's currently hovered over.

Might have to be a Brian alert then XD

Yeah it's definitely not a simple template edit haha :x Sorry I couldn't help further.

Brian when you have some free time any chance you could give me a hand here? Just some of the posts are a bit long and having the option to quote/edit etc without having to scroll back up would be ace

I'm not sure how this is meant to work.

How do you determine which post the quote button in the action bar is going to quote if the button isn't attached to the posts themselves?

[Boy_Wonder]

I wasn't sure xD I was thinking it somehow picks up which post you're currently over
