Find all threads by $username

[induslady]

Hello

I have a requirement which details as below:

In my navbar I want a menu item for "Find all threads by $username". This menu item should have an input field so that the user enters a name xyz in that field. When they hit the "GO" button it should output the result of all the threads started by the particular user xyz.

Thanks in advance.

You can already do that on the advanced search page.

Hello

Can you tell me in detail.
Thanks.

I think they want to know how to make it similar to the "Search" drop down in the navbar, instead of having to go through the advanced search page.

Try this for the link:

<a href="http://www.yoursite.org/search.php?do=finduser&u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&starteronly=1">All Threads by User</a>

I need to include a link to find all threads by the logged in users the same way a link is on their profile page under the statistics tab.

How can I code that? The suggestion above link takes me to an error message:

Invalid User specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I am trying to include a link in a vbadvanced block and cant get it to work.

Thanks!

It really helps if you paste exactly what code you used and tell us what template you put it in. And, it would help if you would either give us a link to see what is happening or paste what the page source is in the page.

I am trying to use your above suggested code:

<a href="http://www.yoursite.org/search.php?do=finduser&u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&starteronly=1">All Threads by User</a>

I need to have a link on my vbadvanced homepage in a vba block that when clicked whatever logged in user will be taken to all their threads they have posted.

I already posted a thread over on the vba forum... I figured I would ask here since the link in this thread is what I need to have as well but on a vba page.

You can't leave it at www.yoursite.org . You need to change that to be your site url. And, I have no idea if your vbulletin stuff is in another folder, like /forum. If so, the link needs to be changed to reflect that. Not being able to have any details like that makes it very hard to debug.

HAHAHA Yea sorry but I did change the link to my site and the "other stuff" aka vbadvanced is installed in my root so no added dir in the link. The vbadvanced seems to be ignoring some of the other parts of the url that are conditional...
