Re[Plone-UI] moving the user link from the personal bar

[Veda Williams]

Hi Danny,

Look in plone.app.layout.viewlets and find personal_bar.pt. You'll see code
here that inserts the user link. To override this, copy the template into
your filesystem product's browser directory and modify as needed. This is a
class-based viewlet, per the configure.zcml file, so you'll need to override
it correctly. 

This tutorial should help:

verriding-a-class-viewlet

Cheers,

- Veda
