Of course the profile.php was just an example. I don't mind file edits and adding templates. I am just trying to figure out how to go about it.

I agree with the statement that I quoted. I?m finding the present way of presenting the users their stored favorite lists is a little cluttered and a modification such as this deserves to have its own page aside from being inside the usercp ? under the subscribed threads.

What about adding an extra page into the usercp that would take a user to as quoted: profile.php?do=favorites

======================================

Other then what I mentioned I really like the mod.

nice mod - I liked it and was going to install it right up until I say "add people" to favorites. Since VB already has a buddy list - this will just confuse my members.

oh well..

just disable that part of the system or remove the code so you only have fav threads/posts option.

[Skedoozy]

Iam looking for help to modify this so that subscribed forums show up in the favorites drop down menu as well as favorite threads. Can anyone help me on that?

[Skedoozy]

Or a way to add this as a Module in vBadvanced. I've tried it several different ways and it's not working. :/

[futuredood]

is this compatible with 3.5.4?

[akanevsky]

It IS for 3.5.4.

[futuredood]

psionic, looking back at some of the other users' posts, i noticed some went unanswered.. mainly, the one that i was looking for is their a way to publicly place this somewhere? in my case, i purchased interactive profiles, and would like to be able to have the user post their favorites in their profile.

[akanevsky]

That sounds more like something that should be requested at Interactive Profiles feature requests section... Please post it there.
