Miscellaneous Hacks - View Your Threads Or Posts From The Navbar

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


What Does This Hack Do?[hr]Silver[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.8.x version of this hack, designed to work with vBulletin v4.0.x.

This is a simple hack that adds an extra menu on the navbar which allows your members to search for their own posts or threads they started. When browsing a forum there are additional links to view your threads or posts from that forum only, if you not in a forum, the extra links do not appear (see screenshots).

There are no file or template changes at all, is controlled by usergroup permissions and is fully phrased.

This was a request by odeezie in post #22 of this thread.

This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 4.0.0 - 4.2.0.

Thank you for the quick update.
Works perfect with 4.2.0 now

Thanks for update Mosh.

Please could you answer how to disable automatic creation of link in Navigation menu? On small monitors (low resolution), menu name crosses on another menu name. How to put menu links of this Mod into Quick menu or community menu?

In previous version I change hook to navbar_quick_links_menu_pos4 and comment line

$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos4'] .= '<!-- View Your Threads or Posts from the Navbar v4.0.001, Copyright Mosh Shigdar 2008 --><li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">'.$vbphrase['ms_vopt_search'].'</a><ul class="popupbody popuphover">';

on the beggining and end code for navigation menu, but now, with this new navigation menu in vBulletin, I could not understand how to change that.

If you are on vBulletin 4.2.0, then you need to edit the links in the Navigation Manager ..... from there you can move them (see this article from vBulletin.com for more info - https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/cont...avigation-Item).

Oh, I did not think about that solution.
Thank you Mosh :up:

One of my members that I tested this out with (logged into his account) does not show all his threads nor all his posts (over 200). Bug?

My settings for max search results is 500 and it only shows about a page worth, and only 1 thread from him too

It has nothing to do with this hack, and there is nothing I can do about it.... I did post a reply in March 2012 about this exact same issue in Post #58.

Works great on vB 4.2.0 - Many thanks.

1. Upload "bitfield_ms_vopt.xml" to your forum's "/includes/xml" directory.
If upgrading then overwrite the previous file.

Uploaded File to ncludes/xml" directory.

2. Import the appropriate file into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager:

a. If vBulletin version 4.2.0 and above import "ms_vopt_40-vB4.2.0.xml" (this will not install on any version below vBulletin 4.2.0)

Imported File

3. In "Usergroups > Usergroup Manager", alter the settings for each Usergroup to your liking.

Done for all Groups that would have threads or posts.

Problem - Nothing new on the Navbar

Where did I go wrong?

It should work.... check Navigation Manager to check if the tab with links is there and enabled.
