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.

This mod and it's instructions were written for a default vbulletin 3.6.4.

I tried it with a custom style just by following the instructions and it worked no problem. More than likely you made an error when pasting (make sure word wrap is off when cut/pasting code).

Finally i installed this, looks awesome so far.

But a couple of phrases are hard coded in english, in case you have multiple languages, it's kind of a pain.

Of course we can add extra phrases in vB, but maybe some members would appretiate this info in the first post.

I added a phrase for Compose Message and View All.

copy and pasting; mod doesn't work. Schweet!

provide more info ... screenshots?

please ensure that you read the instructions correctly

I haven't installed this hack but would it be possible to integrate this into a vBadvanced module?

[Princeton]

Sorry, I don't use vbadvanced.

What do you want to add? menu?
If so .. you don't need vba to do that .. just edit the navbar template.

I can not seem to get it to work properly I only get a partial bar with no further drop down menu's. I've redone everything three times. Images are uploaded and still nothing. This has also seemed to have changed my control panel. Screen shot attached. What could be the problem. I am using 3.6.4 and the surge skin

Forgive my ignorance. lol

That's how it's supposed to look. Just click the UserCP link here @ vb.org to see.
