I found this thread searching for a way to set the "About Me" tab as the default tab when visiting user profiles, and so I created the plugin and it worked well on my dev site (vB 4.2.1 ), but when I implemented it on the live site (vB 4.2.2 PL2), it did not work. I found though that if I removed the conditional, and just used as the Plugin PHP code:

then it works. However, I do not want to just remove the conditional:

without knowing what its purpose is or what problems this could cause. Could anyone shed some light on why we want the above conditional?

Disable that plugin, and see if this mod works for you, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=302655

Hello Ozzy,

First, thank you for you quick and helpful response. :cool:

It works beautifully on my dev site, but not on my live site. I looked at your plugin code, and it uses the same conditional. I would rather use your product though if I can figure out why the conditional is causing a problem, so that we can change this in the future if we want via the AdminCP without having to hack a plugin. :D

Have you tried disabling all other mods? Does the same thing happen on a unmodified default style?

Disabling all other mods would require the consent of the site owner, however, I have been planning to set up a dev site identical to the live site and at that time I can do what I like with it.

At your suggestion, I did just now try an unmodified default style and had the same result.

So, once I set up the new dev site, I will disable all mods, and then enable them one by one until I find the conflict. I will let you know what I find. :D

Yeah let me know how it goes, and we can proceed from there. :)

First look for any mods that might use the same hook before disabling them all. You might get lucky.

I found the culprit was DB Tech's Post Thanks/Like product. Changing the execution order of your plugin in either direction seemed to have no effect.

So, I hacked your plugin code, and replaced the condition:

with:

This way if a user is visiting their own profile because of a thanks notification, the "Post Thanks/Like" tab is used, otherwise the "About Me" tab is used (or whatever tab I define in the AdminCP via your product). This gives me the desired result, but if any unforeseen problems arise because of the change I made, I will let you know.

Then it is a bug in their mod, but glad you got it sorted. :)

I can't thank your posts now, but I did want to let you know your help and your product(s) are greatly appreciated. :up:
