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

It replaces a default template. It really couldn't be done as a plugin. Takes like 5 seconds to install.

Never mind!

[Super Pan]

It only seems to add the subscribed threads options and not the PM's? I have installed it twice to see if I missed anything out but still the same out come. Any ideas?

[TheBlackPoet]

this would be nice.... if i didnt have to replace the whole template.. i have other hacks that are coded into this particular template.. and to overwrite it would ill-affect other hacks... could you just make this hack where we could paste blocks of code between other lines of code???

[croportal]

how can i here

<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>

<if condition="$show['popups'] AND $show['member']">
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="usercpoptions_menu" style="display:none">
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">		
	<tr><td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_control_panel]</a></td></tr>	
	<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="private.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[private_messages]</a></td></tr></if>

	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td></tr>
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editoptions">$vbphrase[edit_options]</a></td></tr>
	<tr><td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option" align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[my_profile]</a></td></tr>
	</table>
</div>
</if>

i would like to have one more option, link to the

<!-- v3 Arcade -->
<tr>
	<td class="$navclass[arcade]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editarcade">$vbphrase[edit_arcade_options]</a></td>
</tr>
<!-- /v3 Arcade -->

and where i can translate: "compose messages" phrase in usercp and "View All" - this is for subscription

thanks allot

Didn't read all the pages, so don't know if this was answered yet. I would you go about on custom template for the navigation? I want to install this mod, but already the first code to change, is different from what i have.


As i seen, most custom templates with custom navbars, the editing is done in header.

This is my coding from the header for the specific usercp:

<!-- Options -->
<if condition="$show['member']">
<td width="93">
<table width="93"  border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:#FFFFFF url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_options.gif);"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow"
		onmouseover="JSFX.fadeIn('options')"
		onmouseout="JSFX.fadeOut('options')"><img
		src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_options.gif" name="options"  width="93" height="40" border="0" class="imgFader" id="options" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</if>
<!-- /Options -->

How would i go about in adding your code in?

    <if condition="$show['member']">
      <td id="usercpoptions" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a>
        <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercpoptions"); </script></td>
    </if>
