Own Threads/Posts/Profile Link in UserCP

A nice and easy hack for users to track their own threads and posts as well as view their profile Often on a large message board you want to see how your old threads are doing and can't find a link to your profile anywhere. This is the answer!

I actually used phrases a little and basically I think I did this quite well.

The links are the same as on your profile page.

For the purely template hack version, view the attached .txt file. Otherwise:

Import the attached product --->

Open USERCP_SHELL

Find:

<!-- usercp nav -->

Add before:

$usercp_ownpostsbit

===

There you have it! If only vb.org had this feature....

Don't forget to click install!

Update 30th of March '06 - the hack is now a plugin. Because the template is cached, this means the usercp loads a little bit more quickly.

I've changed this from a template hack to a plugin. (Because I'm calling the little template elsewhere too now).

Possibly easier to manage in upgrades etc.

I like this but is there a way so that it only appears for certain usergroups?
Will this work on 3.5.3 ?

Thanks

Sure. I'm not making a whole admin interface for this, but if you surround the 'usercp_ownpostsbit' template or the $usercp_ownpostsbit entry with:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == X">
$usercp_ownpostsbit
</if>

Where x is the usergroup id. There's a slightly different conditional if you want to define multiple groups.

This works with 3.5.anything

Thank you Borgs8472

For the update its a lot easier now

I'm glad you think so, cause it was 100 times harder to code!

i would love to add this for multiple usergroups, could you give me the conditional you mentioned and a sample of where to add it?

thanks!

Wrap

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

where X Y and Z are the usergroups you want it to show for around the variable so instead of adding just
$usercp_ownpostsbit
you're adding

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">
$usercp_ownpostsbit
</if>
