Login drop down has vanished
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Unfortunately the drop down login feature has mysteriously vanished on my client's site. We have it running under the live site, so you can visit the page here:http://hassalls.net.au/index.php...
Are you able to easily see what I may have done wrong or if there is something missing?

I hope it's that simple. I'm actually offline at the moment about to go to bed (10:40pm down here in Australia). So that I have everything I need when I'm back on tomorrow, can you tell me what the block is called and where it should be placed by default. Thanks.
Cheers,

The block handle is Formigo Login, you should be able to see it in your
block options
If you put the site into edit mode, you should be able to see the area
expanded and it should be added there.

I have added the block, however to get it to appear like your demo site, I have to add it to the "Top Bar Full" area, however by default this is an area different per page, so therefore (currently) it is only appearing on the Home page.
Are you suggesting that I need to change this to a global area (or make another global area) to make it work like your demo?
If not, what do you suggest I change to make it work correctly? Thanks

You either need to place it in a global area (sitewide), add it to each page you want the log in block on or create your own global area; each method works, just personal preference which way you want to approach this.
I guess I'm just surprised that a theme that is paid for needs this level of customisation to get it to be like the demo site. The drop down arrow is sitewide, yet by default there is nothing above it that is. You have a significant number of files as part of this theme. I don't want to break something, so can you please point me to the actual php file that needs to be modified to allow this to be changed to a GlobalArea.
And I know that you are developing 5.7+ themes and add-ons, however can I suggest that you update the 5.6 and back theme so that it can at least crewate the functionality of the demo site out of the box. Thanks.
Cheers,
Brett...

The demo site is suppose to show what you can build with the theme, not really relevant as a site to sell to a client. Furthermore there is no option to offer sample content and ship it with a theme in 5.6 themes as this functionality simply does not exist/work.
The reason the dropdown is sitewide is so that dropdown section can be used on all pages. That is not to say that the same block and or content needs to be the same on all pages. However if you do want the same block on all pages then you could use one of the already pre-existing sitewide areas in that section.
If you do wish to edit the packages files then please make sure you have a back up before continuing. Assuming you wish to make the 'Top Bar Full' area sitewide you should look in this file 'packages/urban/themes/urban/elements/areas/top-bar top-bar-full.php.
You should change:
To...
That should do it.

$a = new GlobalArea('Top Bar Full'); $a->display();
That should do it.
I guess the way you market the theme, which looks great by the way, with the multiple included add-ins (including login) and demo site (which is why I bought the bundle straight up), I just felt that it would be able to replicate this marketed functionality from the demo site straight out of the box without the need to add or change code (which I believe has been the case with every other theme I have used, purchased or not). So I guess we'll agree to disagree about the demo site and the default theme as supplied :-)
Thanks for the assistance in locating the right file.

Sorry if there was any confusion but just to clarify the demo site is built entirely with the theme and bundled add-ons, there has been no modifications to the code whatsoever.
We simply added the login block to all pages as that was our preference in that instance. We never did this with the intent to confuse or mislead, that is not our style ;)

That makes sense. Unfortunately it (obviously) did mislead me. Thanks for the clarification...and all the quick responses, your customer service is definitely A1.
