Signin

Status: 70% — functional Bootstrap 5 markup, Tabler polish remaining.

What it is

The core signin plugin renders the login/user area in the page header — the {SIGNIN} shortcode placed in the header partial. It has two states, each with its own template key:

• signin — shown to guests: a signup link plus a dropdown containing the full login form (username, password, optional image code, remember me, forgot-password and resend-activation links).

• signout — shown to logged-in members: avatar dropdown with settings, profile, admin link (for admins) and the PM navigation hook.

The dropdown login form posts to core signin processing — the theme template only supplies markup via {SIGNIN_FORM=start} / {SIGNIN_INPUT_*} / {SIGNIN_FORM=end} shortcodes. No auth logic lives in the theme.

Override location

THEME/templates/signin/signin_template.php

Defines $SIGNIN_TEMPLATE['signin'], $SIGNIN_TEMPLATE['signout'] and the matching $SIGNIN_WRAPPER entries (signup link, admin link, PM nav item). As with every template override, the file replaces the plugin's template entirely — keep all keys present.

Current state

Bootstrap 5 navbar-dropdown markup, working in the Tabler header: navbar-nav + nav-item dropdown, data-bs-toggle (with legacy data-toggle kept for BC), d-grid button stack, {USER_AVATAR} with circle crop in the member state. FontAwesome icons render correctly thanks to the registered fontawesome library (see Theme skeleton).

Remaining polish (the missing 30%)

• Replace Bootstrap 3 relics: divider-vertical, btn-block (→ d-grid/w-100), duplicated data-toggle attributes once BC is not needed.

• Move inline style="" attributes (dropdown min-width/padding) into style.css.

• Swap FontAwesome font icons for Tabler inline SVG where it improves consistency with the rest of the header.

• Align dropdown card styling with Tabler dropdown-menu conventions (dropdown-menu-arrow, dropdown-item spacing).
