What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.7.x version of this hack, with the addition of show additional links to view your threads or posts from a forum you are browsing (if you not in a forum, the links do not appear).

This is a simple hack that adds extra options on the Search drop down list on the navbar which allows your members to search for their own posts and threads start by themselves.

There are no file or template changes at all, and is fully phrased.

This was a request by odeezie in post #22 of this thread.

Hi Mosh,

This hack looks really good thanks. Im also wondering if it would be possible to add a "View Your Threads" link in the NavBar itself rather than the search?

I made another thread asking about this here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=223513

If you have any ideas please let me know.
Cheers.

Please can you spell out exactly how to install it.

The install instructions already come with the hack (read the first post again in full), that is as exact as I am going to get.

If you have deleted bitfield_ms_vopt_38.xml from your xml folder and you are still having the error Unknown column 'ms_vopt_permissions' in 'field list', then the bitfield file is still there, and has not been deleted.

I am pretty sure this problem is due to mixing up old and new versions of this hack.

Make sure you delete the bitfield file, un-install the product, and check the following:

In the AdminCP, select Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query and run the following query:

[sql]describe usergroup;[/sql]

If there is a ms_vopt_permissions entry in the Field column, then running the following query will get rid of it:
[sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP ms_vopt_permissions;[/sql]

That should fix your problem up. If it does not, then post back with the exact error.

Hey! I've installed this product and uninstalled, then my permissions on user groups for registered members have changed to don't "allow images in signatures", then I set it to allow and still not appearing the pictures.. just in the preview. I've delete the bitfield file too etc etc run query and nothing.

What can I do to fix it, please??

Did you do this?

Steps 1 & 2 of the uninstall instructions? If you did, then do the following:

In the AdminCP, select Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query and run the following query:

[sql]describe usergroup;[/sql]

If there is not a ms_vopt_permissions entry in the Field column, then the hack is completely uninstalled and can not be causing the issue.

If there is a ms_vopt_permissions entry in the Field column, then running the following query will get rid of it:
[sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup DROP ms_vopt_permissions;[/sql]

Then this hack will be completely uninstalled, and if your problem is still persists then this hack is not the cause of your issues.
