Welcome text, links to your profile.

[Yours Truly]

Time taken: 2 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy as pie
What it does: This will basically change your username at the top of the page in the navbar template to the html markup and a link to that persons profile.

You can also use this for Vb 3.5.x too

Go to:

Style Manager --> [Template you wanna edit] --> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates --> navbar

Find:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

Replace with:


<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[musername]"><a href="member.php?u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</a></phrase></strong><br />
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making it link to the usercp:

Style Manager --> [Template you wanna edit] --> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates --> navbar

Replace:


<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[musername]"><a href="member.php?u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</a></phrase></strong><br />


With:

<strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[musername]"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</a></phrase></strong><br />


To come:

Let the user choose what they want their name to link to

You should write better installation instructions, and this should be done through the phrase system, not the templates.

You should always think of doing it with phrases ;)

In the instructions to link to usercp, when the replacement of: <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$bbuserinfo[musername]</a> was supposed to be made, it's supposed to be replaced with:<a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">

So how would this be put into the welcome_x phrase then? When I tried to put in the same code into the phrase, I got:

"This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view."
