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.

Dotara,

you have a customized skin so it's hard to tell what's the problem ...
Try changing it's class or add a style attribute .. Compare it to the other menu items and see what's different.

not sure if this will resolve your problem but you have an extra </if>

FIND:

</table></if>      
</div>
<!-- extras pop end -->

REPLACE WITH:

</table>    
</div>
<!-- extras pop end -->

it does^^

[Distance]

Okay, thanks

[SOL-R]

When I upgraded, (3.6.7) I had nothing but problems with this. I uninstalled it on my live board. I still have it installed on my test board but it's not working correctly.

EnIgMa1234 did you have to change anything to make it work?

Thanks

R.

[EnIgMa1234]

i didnt no^^

reinstall it..

Note that if you want to make this (x)html valid, all you have to do is wrap the tcat in a thead and the pm thead thing in a tbody.. if you don’t understand then it really doesn’t matter to you

Thanks,
Mat

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

I have the same problem and agitated, your idea didn't work for me :-'( I'm using iSkin from eXtremepixels. Please help me.
