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.

Hy Princeton,

you're not using a phrase in the usercp_shell template for compose Message. I want to edit it to the common vbphrase and the text isn't shown up in the usercp. Any hint for this?

[DDIG]

Try $vbphrase[control_panel], that worked for me.

I found it with "Search for Phrases" in AdminCP menu "Languages & Phrases".

Filled in the searchtext "Control panel" hit "find". Scroll down to User Tools (global) Phrases Containing 'Control panel' in the search results, click the edit button and change the translation.

That's weird. I can't find a phrase like that or named similar.

I hardcoded the QuickClip links in the new usercp_shell template.

What could cause for some menus items to disappear when I navigate those liks?

all the top ones and the one between signature and edit profile.

I'm not really sure on how to update from v1.1.1 to v1.1.1-2
The "USERCP_SHELL", "SUBSCRIBE", and "usercp_nav_folderbit" templates seem to be unchanged?

[Lionel]

OK I solved my issue by adding 'user' in the $phrasegroups array of the quickclip php

Strange, my images aren't showing up. Everything seems to work, but no images. They're uploaded. Hell, I uploaded them twice.
