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.

That's interesting - I've customized templates.... Many in fact - And just upgraded to 3.6.6 earlier today - No probs whatsoever when viewing in Opera - Haven't looked in firefox yet - but I wonder what all the bellyaching is about fixing the customized templates.

There's really not a MAJOR fix that needs done, just need to update image paths

[schanulleke]

Here's a preview of my UserCP. It's in Dutch but I guess you can see where my problem is.

The names of the folders that users added themselves are smaller than the others. I can't find where the problem is. It's all "smallfont". Does anybody have an idea where the problem could be?



Edit:
We found the problem! An additional smallfont was the cause.

[neilbarton]

not sure why but the download zip did not have all the files i needed, i am missing the file misc/tree_l.gif any idea where can i get it from.

[santimariani]

Quick question:

When trying to install this, I cannot find the first text block I'm supposed to replace:

FIND IN navbar:

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[user_cp]</a></td>
</if>

I checked in the navbar template, but it is nowhere to be found. Any ideas? Thanks!

[agitated]

santimariani:

If you have a customized skin the edit may have to be applied to another template.
Suggest you have a look in your header or headinclude templates.
Also the code may have been modified, try a search in templates for $vbphrase[user_cp]

Hi,

Just installed and it's working fine except one thing ... in my navbar it's showing black area instead of regular silver color like other buttons. Please check the image I've attached and you'll understand what I mean. Any solution please to fix this?

[Chadi]

Problem here. In the navbar area, when I hover over "My Account" (my custom name for the user cp default menu), the submenu drops as it should. However, as soon as I hover the mouse over the user cp link/area, that submenu portion pops up in the very top left of the site. See attached.
