Hi there,

I am working with the meld plugin within Mura. I inherited the site management so I have no real knowledge of Meld but I am a competent Coldfusion coder. I am looking to add a button to the forum page of a site, beside the 'Sign In' button. Something to say 'Sign up' or 'Register' if you will. I am pretty inexperienced with Meld and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to modifying my forum. Where would I make the changes to effect this? Is there any documentation I can refer to?

Find a picture attached.

I'm not sure which "Sign In" button you are speaking of; is this a Mura "sign in" link or something in the Forums?

Also, what error did you get uploading the image? A CF error? A Meld Forums error?

In answer to the first question. Not a Mura sign in but a login to the forum I would presume. Here is an image.

In answer to the second question, here is an image. This error came about when I tried to attach a photo to this post.

Basically I want to learn how to edit this theme so I can have a link to Register for the forum.

All of the individual templates can be found in:

/includes/[theme]/templates/display/module/

There are various places you would/could hard-code your link, i.e. mf_forum_pagenav.cfm.

The next version of Meld Forums is going to have many event-based hooks that will let you add/override buttons/content in all areas of the plugin.
