looking for a "Users recent posts" hack
 

I want to put a link next to my logged in user's names on the forums index page that would link to a search page listing their recent posts. I have ran a couple of searches and not found one. Help?


Want it to come up with info such as this (my user name for example)
http://www.xtremepccentral.com/vbfor...duser&userid=1

So in short there would be a link at the top of the forum that looked like this that did the search I listed above. instead of the normal "view new posts" which searches for posts since the users last visit (or better yet have both links :) )

NeverMind I got figured it out...

Basically edit your forum home template / forumhome and at around line 23 change

to
It will look like this

That doesn't work for me. :) How far back is it supposed to go?

Durring my testing on 2 different boards (2.2.2 and 2.2.6) it is able to actually go back to the start of both of my boards (a bit over 8 months for one and 4 months for the other)

When you say it's not working for you is it not doing anything or what?

It keeps giving me the "try some different terms" error.

Other hacks in use? what happens when you try a straight forward search such as http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/sea...duser&userid=1 ? (substitute the user ID for whoever's ID you want to try but #1 is usually the board admin)

When I try it like you suggested here, it works fine. Are you sure this is the line you are using? (I'm just asking since it works with it the other way. :))

<a href="search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=finduser&userid=$userid">

Or should it be this?

<a href="search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=finduser&userid=$userinfo[userid]">

is an exact cut & paste out of my 2.2.6 board.

I figured it out. I am putting it in the forumhome_welcometext template which is called in the forumhome template. If I put it in the forumhome template, it works. It won't work when I put it in the forumhome_welcometext template. And ideas how to make it work there? :)

Sorry I dont off the top of my head but I will snoop around on my beta board and see if I can come up with something...

But you should have told me earlier that you were trying to put it elsewhere as I did list where the hack was to be done and we could have prevented the running around

Basically it IS in the forumhome template. The welcometext template is in the forumhome template. But Xenon helped me figure it out. I had to use bbuserinfo[userid] instead of userid. Sorry I troubled you with the "running around". :)
