Mini Mods - Manage Forum Accounts 2.0 Paginated

Note: This is not a replacement for my old modification, just a newer version which works differently, and where the links are now on a separate page in the Admin Control Panel.

Files to upload:

Manageaccount.php to admincp (or whatever it's name) folder

cpnav_manage.xml to includes/xml

Installation Time:

2 minutes at most. Unless you accidentally corrupted the file or I've made a mistake with the version attached.

Installation Procedure:

1. Download both files (either normal php file if you have IB Pro Arcade and VS Interactive Profiles installed or other php file if you have neither installed).
2. Open file in Notepad or Wordpad
3. Replace u=1 with u=[id number] if you deleted your initial vB admin account.
4. Upload to directories said.
5. Add the phrase here:

   Product: vBulletin
   
   Varname: Manage_Account
   
   Text: Manage Account

6. All done.

Try entering in this as a phrase:

Product: vBulletin

Varname: Manage_Account

Text: Manage Account

Sorry for the semi bumping of my modification, but I yesterday got actually saved by this:

I have installed also the mod which presents a minimal style for mobile devices, and somehow ended up accidentally choosing it in the style chooser. This caused me to see the forums in a very cut down way with no style chooser or options menu to change back to the default. I panicked, and then realised I had made this modification, managed to find the Admin CP entry in my history and after logging in, used the link to the options page to set it so I was back using the default style.

^True story.

Nice! "Mark as lifesaving!":up:

I love it, but the only thing I don't like is the name in the control panel which is *[Manage_Forum_Account]*. It stretches the cp's width past the default. I know that your *, _ & [ are a style thing, but could we just have "Manage Forum Account" instead? I promise not to love it any less! If not I will just edit it for my forum, but maybe others feel the same.

Don't worry, there is a really easy fix which I must have forgot to post here. It involves adding one phrase:

Product: vBulletin

Varname: Manage_Account

Text: Manage Account

Add that for a phrase, and it will just say 'Manage Account'. In fact, I'll put that in the first post as well...

Oh cool thanks! I saw that, but it didn't work for your newest release, so I had to do this:
Product: vBulletin
Varname: Manage_Forum_Account
Text: Manage Account

I was also thinking that an option to remove menu items or add custom ones would be nice for a future release. Or maybe just some info on modding it with custom menu items.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I have it running on 3.6.8.

If you want to know how to mod it, I can get a tutorial up as an article or here.

Thanks! Anything more I can learn about the programming side would be appreciated. I know that aspect wouldn't be on topic with your mod, so even links to starter resources in a PM are helpful.

I did glance at it the other night and I think I figured out how to tweak it. I should just replace the links and titles with custom ones and delete any items I don't want. So if I wanted to add my arcade...

<navoption displayorder="90">
            <text>Manage Groups</text>
        <link>../profile.php?do=editusergroups</link>
        </navoption>

becomes...

<navoption displayorder="90">
            <text>Arcade</text>
        <link>../arcade.php</link>
        </navoption>

Would it possible to add drop down menus or sub menus to the navoptions?

Also, I meant before that it would be cool to have a configuration menu in the admin to customize it, but I understand this mod is lite and serves it's purpose. Every vB user should at least be able to open the product file and customize a few variables!

Okay, what you came up with there would work for an Admin CP arcade link. Or you could add similar code after the last </navoption> tag to add the link after the existing ones.

As for a dropdown, I will assume either of these ways would work:

Adding another file with your custom drop down options formatted in the same way as the options in this modification or any other cpnav files on vBulletin.org would work, as would adding another navgroup set under the current one to the file.

Great thanks! I ill try it. I was thinking that a drop down menu might be clunky in the admincp, but I will see how it works.
