Add URL to profile to Welcome Message in navbar

Add URL to profile to Welcome Message in navbar

vBHackers.com

Introduction:

One of the few things which annoy me about vB is having to look for a link for my profile (either a post or in the WOL), unlike in IPB. So, I wrote this little template edit to make my life, your life and your members life a bit easier .

The edits:

Open up the Navbar template (Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Select the "Edit Templates" options in the dropdown next to the skin you wish to edit -> Click "[? ?]" next to "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" -> Click [Edit] next to "navbar")

Find:

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont">
            <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
            <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
            <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
        </div> 


Replace it with:

PHP Code:

<div class="smallfont">
<strong>
<phrase 1="<a href='member.php?u=$userid'>$bbuserinfo[username]</a>"> $vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />
<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>
<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>
</div> 


Press save!

This will change the:

Welcome, Deaths.
You last visited: Today at 10:55 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 74.

Text into:
Welcome, Deaths.
You last visited: Today at 10:55 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 74.


PLEASE NOTE:
This may not work on custom styles. If you have a custom style and wish to apply this hack but can't, post the navbar template (and possibly a link to your site) and I'll see if I can help.

Thank you very much, this mod makes VB more intuitive, especially for noobs who used to ask where their user profile is at. This worked perfectly on my VB 3.6.4... the code to replace was the same. Cheers.

Actually The original code is a bit flawed...
Try replacing your 1st phrase 1....

<phrase 1="<a href='member.php?u=$userid'>$bbuserinfo[username]</a>"> $vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

WITH

<phrase 1="<a href='member.php?{$session[sessionurl]}u={$bbuserinfo['userid']}'>{$bbuserinfo['musername']}</a>">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

That way all pages will show the profile link AND with color if you've used the Membergroup markup
