How do I "Revert" my template? I have a custom Navbar and this mod is not showing up. I assume this is what I need to do from reading this thread?

Nothing happened when I did this!

Inspired by it I created in my Board the Following 2 Plugins, 1 Template, and 1 Template Edit, that work in a similar way that your Mod, but Applied to the Search of My Posts and My Threads in an Specific Forum; I Finally Found today the Answer I was looking for From "Lynne" who pointed me to the Additional Code Line (forumchoice[]) to be able to search in a Particular Forum.

Perhaps you can Add this Functionallity on Your Next Update of this Mod.


1. Create the Following 2 Plugins:

1.1

Create a Plugin with ACP > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: cache_templates
Title: Forum Search - My Threads - My Posts - Cache templates
(or whatever Title you Like)
Execution Order: 5
Plugin is Active: Yes
Plugin PHP Code

$globaltemplates[] = 'mythreads_myposts_forum_search_link';

1.2

Create a Plugin with ACP > Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: forumdisplay_complete
Title: Forum Search - My Threads - My Posts - ForumDisplay Hook - Search Table
Execution Order: 7
Plugin is Active: Yes
Plugin PHP Code:

if ($show['searchbuttons'] AND $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
{
	eval('$template_hook[\'a7_forum_search_menu\'] .= "' . fetch_template('mythreads_myposts_forum_search_link') . '";');
}

2. Add the Follwing Template:

2.1

Create a Template with ACP > Styles & Templates > Main_Style_Name > Add New Template

Title: mythreads_myposts_forum_search_link
Template:

<tr>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[my_threads_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&amp;starteronly=1&amp;forumchoice[]=$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[my_threads]</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$bbuserinfo[userid]&amp;forumchoice[]=$foruminfo[forumid]">$vbphrase[my_posts]</a></td>
</tr>

3. Edit FORUMDISPLAY Template:

3.1

In FORUMDISPLAY Template you need to Add a Hook Code Line.

After

		<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forumid" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[advanced_search]</a></td>
	</tr>

Add

<!-- Beginning of Hook for My Threads Posts Forum Search -->

$template_hook[a7_forum_search_menu]

<!-- End of Hook for My Threads Posts Forum Search -->

Click the Save Button to Apply the Changes.

Installed, translated, working without a glitch on 3.8.4 PL1, should be standard in VB!
5 STARS and a lot of thanks!

For some reason it's not working for me.

Of course, I moved my navbar links into my header, but the code is still complete.

Won't it read the template hook in the header?

EDIT:

Nevermind.

I just added the this template to my header.

I guess I'd still like to know why the plugin wasn't working...

Geat Mode been looking for this for awhile, thanks Installed.

I get a 404 when i click on the search menu and select My threads, though if i navigate away from the Vbadvanced Home page to the forums...it works fine...any ideas how i could get it to work from the Vbadvanced home page ??

[PHATTPANTZ]

Great mod, installed

Thanks

[DarkArmada]

Just want to say kudos for this, the majority of my users come from another site where you can click a single button to display ALL past threads posted in, awesome.

Although I did have to basically cut the template out and paste it within my own style to suit, it works a treat (and great that it's kept simple enough to allow me to do that)

So cheers

[kenmoresp]

Really nice...makes things much easier to navigate....thanks
