Andy,

I really like your login/registration screen views with your forum plugin. And currently, access to the forum on my site is the only reason I would have someone register. Of course once I enable registration required in the WP admin area I now get a Register tab on my website (typical for most WP themes). If someone clicks that page them it takes them to an entirelly different (default WP registration screen). How can Simple Forum users suppress that tab? Perhaps your admin control panel would allow a switch for that in the future to keep things simple and consistent for our forum viewers.

Thanks again,

Patrick

Since you can write your own sidebar widgets with the text widget provided with WP, and can even provide those widgets with PHP functionality with Exec-PHP and or Diako’s Text Widget plugins, it would be possible to simply link to the SFP Login and Register links directly from the sidebar (simple HTML) or even use PHP to determine if the user is logged in before showing the sidebar links (PHP enabled Sidebar Widget or sidebar.php)

I’ll suggest here that perhaps a replacement for the meta widget could also be built into v3 easily enough, as an aside to the methods, above, simply replacing the built in meta widget’s links to the backend, with links to the SFP frontend login.

I already use a replacement meta widget on some of my sites, (MiniMeta Widget) which puts the login form directly in the sidebar when not logged in, and displays the Username as the widget title, when the user is logged in.
