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.

I just installed it on 3.6.8 and everything looks fine. I'm still waiting for the updated version that includes template hooks though.

Thanks I like it

In vB 3.6.8 (maybe earlier) the image tree_l.gif is renamed tree_ltr.gif Be sure to change tree_l.gif to tree_ltr.gif in the USERCP_SHELL template so you won't get broken images.

I can't remember if I said this already so - great Mod, I am so happy to get those stupid tables collapsed in the userCP.

Quick question - if we have a custom style will we still have to make manual edits to the USERCP_SHELL template to achieve this layout for our custom styles?

[Princeton]

it all depends if the template has been modified .. with that said, most custom styles do not edit this template

I suggest trying it out .. if you see something that's out of place just uninstall it and manually do the edits (compare templates and see the difference).

OMG, love the MOD ^^ <3

I'm upgrading from an older version (Version: 1.0.0) and want to know what to do with the edits that I did to the following templates....

usercp_nav_folderbit
pm_messagelist
SUBSCRIBE

I'm assuming there is no change as your product now makes these changes automatically and I have already done these manually with the older version??
