Login menu

Status: 90% — template rewritten; two shortcode limits handled in CSS.

What the theme overrides

templates/login_menu/login_menu_template.php

covering both states: the login form for guests and the menu for signed-in users.

login_menu.php:87 requires this file instead of the plugin's, not alongside it. The plugin file guards each variable with if(!isset(...)), which makes a partial override work in the legacy arrangement — but that file never runs when the theme's exists.

All seven variables have to be defined here: $LOGIN_MENU_FORM, $LOGIN_MENU_MESSAGE, $LOGIN_MENU_LOGGED, $LOGIN_MENU_EXTERNAL_LINK, $LOGIN_MENU_STATS, $LM_STATITEM_SEPARATOR, $LOGIN_MENU_STATITEM, plus the $sc_style wrappers.

The signed-in menu

Same problem as every other plugin menu in a panel: list-group without list-group-flush, so the rounded first and last items escape the accordion body.

The override also drops nav nav-list from the wrapper. nav is a Bootstrap 3 class, and combining it with list-group gives two competing sets of padding rules.

The login form

Upstream is a centred block separated by <br />, with [ Sign up ] bracket wrappers around the links. The override uses .mb-3 groups, form-label, a full-width button in .d-grid, and a plain link stack.

Labels carry for="username" and for="userpass", matching the ids the input shortcodes generate, so they are associated rather than merely positioned above.

What the template cannot reach

Two things live in login_menu_shortcodes.php, where no template can change them.

The grey button. sc_lm_loginbutton() (line 184) hardcodes btn btn-default btn-secondary and accepts no class parm. Handled in the palette file, on the button itself rather than on an ancestor — .btn-secondary declares all --tblr-btn-* variables inside its own block, so a value set on a wrapper is discarded. See Working with Tabler variables.

The duplicate label. sc_lm_username_input() (line 105) and sc_lm_password_input() (line 120) emit their own <label class='sr-only'>, which duplicates the visible label the template renders. Under Bootstrap 5 sr-only no longer hides anything — it was renamed to visually-hidden — so the duplicate is visible until the shim in style.css takes effect. See Compatibility shims.

Upstream

Both shortcode limits are worth reporting: a class parm on the button, and either dropping the built-in label or renaming it to visually-hidden.
