Sweet!

[BlackJacket]

Costum is not correct. Custom is the correct spelling. :)

Thanks for the mod. Does a user have the ability to ad their own link?

[RL714]

how about multiple links ?

[voglermc]

Still working like a champ!

[jgt58]

Might need an update for 4.0.4

why it works fine.
if link disappeared while updateing, just reimport the existing product, and overwrite..
recheck settings.

[KURTZ]

i'm wondering about this hack: runs with the horizontal postbit?

[stevejobs]

We can add an image in the tittle?

[voglermc]

I've re-imported, turned off and back on and still nothing

[voglermc]

Is there any way to add multiple links to different areas?

[G37Sam]

thats a costum template, something is missing..
thats the problem, is your hook locations inplace..
if you look in the code you see this mod uses
hook : postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts

which is present by default,
unfortunally i cant select another theme/style on your site so cant tell
if its there or not.

Installed... thank you .... :)

Can't quite get it to do what we need for our Classifieds ads ...

What would it cost to have it modified so we could have the link always add the user ID after the letter u, then put a single dash - in, followed by .html

Example:

http://www.xxxxx.com/pp-classifieds/u2-.html

The 2 is the variable in this case ...

It's always the same format and takes the user who clicks the link to a page that shows all of that userid member ads.

Thanks again ...

Wow... that was quick ... :D

Uninstalled standard version and imported custom version ...

I wasn't sure what to put as settings, so I left "enable userid at end" OFF and I put this in as the link:

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/

I now get this as a link output when I view the link at the postbit_legacy display.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/-.html

So, I turned "enable userid at end" ON and I get this as a link output when I view the link at the postbit_legacy display.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/.$post[userid].-.html

It's close, so all I need now is to get the actual userid of the member from his postbit and plug it in front of the DASH ie: http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/userid-.html

Thanks for your help ... it is appreciated...

Worked great ... thank you .... :up:

I turned "enable userid at end" ON and used this as the link.

http://www.xxxx.com/pp-classifieds/u

It put the member's postbit userid after the letter "u" and added the "-.html" just fine ....

Now when a member clicks on another member's link, it takes them to ALL classified ads that have been placed by that member.

I just sent you a PayPal donation with thanks .... ;)

Edit: Is there a way to have it open a NEW page for the link instead of just using the existing page ? Maybe add an option?

yeah install this

just overwrite existing installation, by putting checkmark in allow overwrite.

Works great ... :up:

Might be a good option to add to the mod for folks, so they can decide what method (new or existing) type of page opening?

Thanks again ... :)

Is it possible to add multiple links?

[ProFifaLeagues]

Be great to be able to add multi links to this!
Would it be possible in a update?

[merk_aus]

how do you get the blog to appear like you have in the screenshots?

[hiker]

Installed on 4.0.2, working great.

[hiker]

One question, how would I go about adding a cron job to correlate with this?

This link I created is a custom search on my forum, searching threads posted by user with a certain prefix.

Would it be possible for me to add code that would display the quantity of those threads next to the custom link?

An example of that link is here:
http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?44422-Your-Trip-Reports-Show-themz-to-me

I'd love to show the quantity, maybe only calculating once per day, next to the "My Trip Reports" link.

If there's no easy way to do it with this mod, I'll continue looking. Thanks.

[Divvy]

Vaupell, is possible to hide the link when the user dont have nothing to show?
For example, about the albums, If a user dont have any, the link will not appear...
Is difficult to make that? :)

[gezuvor]

Installed on 4.1.10 and working very well. I am trying to tweak this a bit so it will count albums. Any suggestions?

[Jesakos]

very good, its possible to put something like $username or something on custom link ? because i need that without id but in username.. like $bbuserinfo[username]

[xxdestinyxx]

Would it be possible for us to choose the link inserted? For example I want to add a link for members to just enter their username from another site and then have that link appear on the posts.

So my link would be something like say... www.website.com/profile/USERNAME

I would enter " www.website.com/profile/" and when they fill in the USERNAME part it would add it to the link OR - they have to have the same username on the website as the forum so even if it just obtained their username automatically that would be great :)
