phpBB style update links
 

I've been searching around but I can't seem to find any hacks that replicate these three links that welcome returning users to a phpBB forum:

View posts since last visit (vB has this already I know)
View your posts (lists all posts you've participated in, which forum/subforum they're in, and if there's any new posts in them)
View unanswered posts (lists all posts on the forum that haven't been replied to yet)

I'm wondering if anyone could point me to an existing hack or help me with a new hack that'll add this functionality to my forums. I'm using vB 2.3.4 btw. Thanks in advance for any help.

View your posts can be done from the users profile and IIRC there is already a hack to view unanswered posts but I could be wrong.

I haven't seen the unanswered posts hack but I'll definitely look for it. Thanks for the heads up on that.

However it looks to me like people can only view the threads they've subscribed to in their UserCP. The functionality I'm looking for wouldn't require people to subscribe to any threads.

Any news on a hack that does this?

The profile, not the User CP, view any members profile member.php?action=getinfo&userid=X where X is there userid, and you'll see a find all posts by this user link :)

So basically all I'd need to do is create a link on the forum home page to search.php?s=&action=finduser&userid=[foo] (replacing [foo] with the variable for the current user) to have any user be able to find all of their own posts in one click.

Got it. However the search page returns results that are formatted... well, like search results. I'd like the results to be listed with the same look as a regular forum page with the same icons showing whether the posts have new replies/are hot/are closed... etc...

This doesn't seem to be possible with the method you're describing.

*edit*

After closer inspection, I see that the results do show the status of the threads, counter to what I'd said before. However the layout is still that of the search page and not a forum (forumdisplay) page. I don't see any way of having this search return a different layout than standard searches without hacking. I'm I right about that at least? :nervous:

Nevermind. I figured out a solution (duplicate search page, different template/layout/post icons).
