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

If I installed a couple of MODs that required edits to the USERCP_SHELL, can I undo those edits, replace the original USERCP_SHELL with the replacement and then redo the edits from the other two installed MODs to make this work? I am hoping so.

I'd have thought it would probably be quicker to just edit into your already modified USERCP_SHELL?

But what do I edit specifically? It seems there would be a lot considering that the whole original USERCP_SHELL needs to be replaced with the code of the replacement usercp_shell.

You can edit my copy of the USERCP_SHELL template with the edits you made to your current USERCP_SHELL.

Before you do anything, make sure you save a copy of your current USERCP_SHELL template.

That makes more sense and that would be much easier. Thanks Princeton. Great MOD and I am now off to install, or actually, edit.

I am trying to add the vbMySmilies MOD edits in to the replacement USERCP_SHELL file, but do not have:

<tr>
 <td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td>
</tr>

I do find the following, which has part of it at the beginning and part of it at the end:

<td class="thead"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('miscpanel')"><img id="collapseimg_miscpanel" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_miscpanel].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> $vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td>

I am suppose to replace the first set of code (from above) with:

<tr>
 <td class="thead">$vbphrase[mysmiliesvb_mysmilies]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="$navclass[mysmiliesvb]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="mysmiliesvb.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[mysmiliesvb_mysmilies]</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td>
</tr>

[Princeton]

Insert this: (do not replace)

<tr>
 <td class="thead">$vbphrase[mysmiliesvb_mysmilies]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td class="$navclass[mysmiliesvb]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="mysmiliesvb.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[mysmiliesvb_mysmilies]</a></td>
</tr>

[NFLfbJunkie]

Where does it need to go in the replacement USERCP_SHELL?

[Princeton]

place everything under

          <if condition="$show['attachments']">
            <tr>
              <td class="$navclass[attachments]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editattachments">$vbphrase[attachments]</a></td>
            </tr>
          </if>
