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.

Looks amazing!

I did have the same problem as a few other people here, though. I assumed that all the template edits were in one text file, so I only did one of the edits required.

Any reason for the two separate txt files? It's just kind of confusing.

Anyway, best mod EVER. You get my vote for MOTM!

One of the text file is a complete replacement of the USERCP_SHELL template (USERCP_SHELL_REPLACE.txt).

Separating it into it's own file makes it easier to copy (CTRL+a).

thank you

Wow!! Very nice!

[MorrisMcD]

going through and finding all those template edits made me feel like I had vb 3.0 again.. But I managed, and it looks good! Thanks!

Clicking install now

Thanks Princeton and since you are admin here, can we count that this mod will be standard for the next releases?

Hi

Should I see this when I click on User CP?

Or should I see it when I click on User CP - User Control Panel?

Just that it only displays when I click on User CP - User Control Panel

[Princeton]

it should be visible throughout the USERCP area ... it should work exactly how it is here (vb.org)
