Hello,

First off great mod!

Secondly, I need help linking to a person's profile page. Could someone please put in the proper code so that I can copy it and set it up.

Thank you in advance,
Ella

What a great hack :bunny: I really love it and I'm really looking forward to the next releases and/or the next version

For the moment there is just one question left. I run vB 3.5.4 with vBEasy Portal. The menu controll bar is placed at the portal-site, but on the portal-site automatically a "forum" link is inserted. Please see the screenshot ...

Can you please help me to get rid of it? :-)

Thanks for helping and thanks for providing us with such great stuff

Hello and thank you for replying,

where you put "memberprofilehere", what is the code for that? I have tried several and unless I specify one member profile number it does not work. Though, obviously when I specify one person's number everybody get redirected to that page.

Again, Please help.

Excellent job on this. It's awesome.

I only have one request. Is it possible (and this may have been mentioned, so if it has, please forgive me) to make it so each link has a customizable "target=" so that some will open in a new window (_blank) while others are the parent (_parent) or whatever you wish. Rather then just having a single option for all the links.

Again, thanks for the hack, it's very helpful.

That will be in the next version

Each link will be able to have customizable target windows

Not sure what you mean but by memberprofilehere I mean the ID number of the user. For example, mine on vBulletin.org is 60970

So the url for my profile is:

Code:

http://www.vbulletin.org/member.php?u=60970

Thanks and hope your enjoying the modifications... If you'd like too I could take a look at your problem and see if I can fix it. Seeing as I've never used that portal software, I couldn't tell you the fix without taking a look.
Just PM me your MSN if you have one

----

My exams have finished now, and so I have a lot more free time on my hands

vBDiscussion.com is getting coded AS WE SPEAK, and Im finalizing the features I've put up. Hopefully, if all goes well vBDiscussion.com will be online by the end of this week. And I will then get to work on the next version of Menu Control

Thanks,

Marky

You must add the template code to each skin template for it to appear on that template

Just a healthy reminder - all is going well at vBD HQ and vBDiscussion.com will be online this wednesday! Meet ya there!
