DESCRIPTION

This modification gives your users an opportunity to create their own personalized menus of favorite threads, posts and users within your bulletin board.

STATISTICS

File Uploads: 1
Products to Install: 1


FEATURES

• Zero file or template edits.
• Favorite Threads, Posts & Users.
• Complete list of favorites is listed in the user cp.
• Last {x} favorites are listed in a navbar dropdown that is available from every page, where {x} is a number configurable via admin cp.
• Users can create their own titles for their favorite items.

VERSION HISTORY

2.1.1

[F] Fixed a bug which made favorites entries non-editable.

2.0.1
[F] Corrected a minor template bug, which caused invalid links in navbar dropdown.

2.0.0
[+] The modification has been rewritten from scratch: the code has been optimized, and is now compatible with both vBulletin 3.5 and 3.6.

You mean like in a footer..

[Lionel]

no I meant a full page.
You subscribe to a forum or to a thread and it displays your subscriptions on a full page. Do you use vbadvanced?

Hey PSIONIC - great hack... I think someone's already asked this question but it went unanswered. Thus I ask again

Concerning custom headers - I have followed the instructions and have ran into bit of an issue... Instead of making the navbar template edits - I applied those to the header template. For some reason there is an extra line AND an image (/misc/menu_open.gif) that shows under the Favorites button/image

Attached pics:
1. regular header with the Favorites button not shown
2. header with the Favorites button shown

You'll notice the line and menu_open.gif image in the pic...

I've played around with the code a little. This is the code I'm currently using

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['lastfavthreads'] OR $show['lastfavposts'] OR $show['lastfavusers']">
                <td width="80" height="24" id="favorites"><a href="usercp.php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nav_favorites.gif" width="80" height="24" border="0" alt="favs" /></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("favorites" ,1); </script></td>
            </if> 


So I'm stuck! I'm not quite sure what the appropriate code is to remove that line and extra image.

I'll appreciate your help - Thanx very much!

Jacquii.

btw - AWESOME addition, as is the rest of your work! I know my Members will really enjoy this addition - but the perfectionist in me just says "Make it look right!" LOL so anyway.... Help!

[PoetJA-1975]

hello - anyone know the answer???

Jacquii.

[FireFish]

I normally don't post to give Kudos on a hack (not that there's something wrong with that) but this one deserves an exception...

KUDOS.

This is a hot hack; works nicely with 3.6.2; I've been looking for this for a while.

Thanks, man!

Any chance you could post the entire template? doesn't look like a complicated problem though.

[PoetJA-1975]

Hey JOHN - thanx for taking a look at the below code... It's strange really, as there is no issue in Firefox & IE ----> But the pics above show what it looks like in Opera... Anyway - any help will be appreciate

Thanx again! Was hoping Psionic would be able to help, but apparently he's not subscribed to the thread anymore lol...
