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.

search just for

<a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">

i think you have a img instead of the text
could it be?

After reviewing the 16 pages, seemed like I couldn't find anyone else who had a problem on a new private message being in the usercp. I guess my style is custom that could be the problem. I just removed the whole section, works great now!

Yea, and check in the header instead of the navbar.. as I think the nav code got moved up there in iSkin.

Thanks,
Mat

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]

Agitated,

First of all, thanks for the help. I searched around, and found this in the navbar_link template:

<if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
<span class="n$vbphrase[user_cp]avbar">&gt; <a href="$nav_url">$nav_title</a></span>
<else />
$nav_title
</if>

Since it had the user_cp in there, I replaced this whole thing, yet the mod is not working. Any other ideas? I am using the Chestnut Style, by the way.

In your Header template

Replace the entire block of code between <!--Options --> <!-- /Options -->
with the code below.

<!-- Options -->

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td width="93">
<table width="93"  border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td style="background:#FFFFFF url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_options.gif);"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow"
        onmouseover="JSFX.fadeIn('options')"
        onmouseout="JSFX.fadeOut('options')"><img
        src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/bouton_options.gif" name="options"  width="93" height="40" border="0" class="imgFader" id="usercpoptions" alt="" /></a><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("usercpoptions", true); </script></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</if>

<!-- /Options -->

provided you have done everything else correctly, it will work.
