End-User Options - GTUserCP - Enhanced USERCP Interface + USERCP Menu

NEW 1.1.1 VERSION (download GTUSERCP_111-2.zip)

The 1.1.0+ version now replaces the USERCP_SHELL template. No edits are necessary. However, manual edits are required if you wish to use the UserCP Menu like we have here on vbulletin.org.

If upgrading from a previous version you can revert the "USERCP_SHELL", "SUBSCRIBE", and "usercp_nav_folderbit" template.

Custom modification brought to you by Joe Velez (aka Princeton vbulletin.org Admin).


This modification is a combination of the new vb.org USERCP and the UserCP dropdown menu.

Why would you want to install these features?

1. Decrease Server Resources
2. Increase Usability

Support modification by "Installing", "nominating for MOTM", and/or donating.

How does this help with server resources?

Typically if you want to edit or view your personal information you would click the UserCP navbar link (wait for the page to load) and click the option you wish to view.

Did you know?

You just hit the server with 11 Queries + HTTP Request + Bandwidth just for visiting the UserCP default page. What's worst is that this is not even the page that you want to view. Yep, you guessed it there goes an additional hit to the server.

Add this modification to bypass the UserCP default page.
The savings are HUGE especially on a big-board site.

How does this help with usability?

1. Private Messages are the most frequently used user option.
   • Moving this to the top will give members quicker access.
   • Displaying custom folders will also bypass some pages (clicks) and therefore decreases server resources.
2. Collapsing/Expanding some of the options will provide members quicker access to what is important to them.

This modification has been reported working on earlier vb versions 3.5.4+.

Instructions:

1. Install product via Product Manager.
2. If you want to add UserCP Menu read the README file. This has to be done manually.
3. Show your support click "Mark As Installed", nominate for MOTM, rate this modification, and/or donate.

v 1.1.1-2 : Missing phrase
v 1.1.1 : Added SUBSCRIBE template replacements
v 1.1.0 : New 3.6.8 version released (w/ template hook)v 1.0.2 : Added missing template changes

You will have to put the images in each of your styles. Here is what you do.

Go to the style where the images are missing, and then right click the image. While still holding right click go to properties. Now a pop-up will appear and show that image properties. You want to look for "http://www.yoursite.org/forum/images/cstyle/blue/buttons/image.gif" Now where it says image.gif, follow that back and put the images in that folder. Do you get it, as I will help more if you don't.

And BTW this mod rocks!

simple but very nice hacks.
I'm Luvin it

[triff]

I've installed it now!

But there seems to be missing an image called tree_l.gif from the menu? Anyone who's had this problem also? Anyone who knows where I can find it?

EDIT: The option of editing the avatar, profile and profile picture is there also. The reason why I was asking about those options are that they seemed to be absent from the preview/screenshot.

EDIT: I just copy the image from the UserCP on this forum. Must start thinking before spamming the forum with my questions...

Didn't work. Is there another way?

[Princeton]

tree_t.gif image missing? that's because it doesn't exists

In gtpm_usercp_nav_folderbit template

FIND

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/tree_t.gif"

REPLACE

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/tree_$stylevar[textdirection].gif"

Click INSTALL if you want to stay updated
