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.

Captain DDL:

Have you checked the header template ?
or search in templates for $vbphrase[user_cp] and you should be able to find the block of code.

I had added the following from another mod, but for some reason, it's not showing up right now, any ideas? I haven't recerted the template yet. Want to be sure it's right first.

vB AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> (Select Style) -> User Control Panel Templates -> USERCP_SHELL

FIND:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofile">$vbphrase[edit_profile]</a></td>
</tr> 


After it post:

PHP Code:

<tr>
    <td class="$navclass[extra]" style="white-space:nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=extra">$vbphrase[edit_extra_options]</a></td>
</tr>

well, I've figured out how to get it back in the drop-down nav menu, but I still can't figure out how to get it in the menu once you're in the UserCP...

anyone?

What am I doing wrong?

[RedGTiVR6]

Found my answer: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=319

Needed to edit: GTPM_USERCP_SHELL, not USERCP_SHELL.

All good now!

Installed. Excellent.

I installed, and the User CP worked great. I cannot get the UserCP menu to work however. i am using 3.6.8 patch 2. I edited the navbar and found and replaced the code given in the readme, but it just didnt give me a dropdown at all. everything still worked, just no menu dropdown.

I am using a custom template that did not originally use the navbar menu, but i added it myself and that may be why, but as mentioned the code was still the same as your directions. i can attach navbar code if needed. thanks for help.
