Add URL to profile to Welcome Message in navbar

vBHackers.com

Introduction:

One of the few things which annoy me about vB is having to look for a link for my profile (either a post or in the WOL), unlike in IPB. So, I wrote this little template edit to make my life, your life and your members life a bit easier

.

The edits:

Open up the Navbar template (Admincp -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Select the "Edit Templates" options in the dropdown next to the skin you wish to edit -> Click "[? ?]" next to "Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates" -> Click [Edit] next to "navbar")

Find:

PHP Code:


			
<div class="smallfont">

            <strong><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

            <phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

            <if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

        </div>

Replace it with:

PHP Code:


			
<div class="smallfont">

<strong>

<phrase 1="<a href='member.php?u=$userid'>$bbuserinfo[username]</a>"> $vbphrase[welcome_x]</phrase></strong><br />

<phrase 1="$pmbox[lastvisitdate]" 2="$pmbox[lastvisittime]">$vbphrase[last_visited_x_at_y]</phrase>

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"><br /><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if>

</div>

Press save!

This will change the:

Welcome, Deaths.

Text into:
Welcome, Deaths.
You last visited: Today at 10:55 AM
Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 74.

PLEASE NOTE:
This may not work on custom styles. If you have a custom style and wish to apply this hack but can't, post the navbar template (and possibly a link to your site) and I'll see if I can help.

This is nice. Thanks!

No problem

.

Imo vB should add this or something similar to the default version, as it doesn't increase site load or any of that, it simply shows an extra link.

If you click the drop down link for Quick Links, it has a My Profile link in there

True. However:
1. Some sites removed the quick links dropdown
2. It's still an extra click

I prefer my hack which goes in the usercp :/

I'm not sure whether or not you're being sarcastic here.

Maybe this'll do as a justification than:
This hack is what I described it. A very small addition which saves you and your users a click or two. Ofcourse you can use quicklinks, ofcourse you can scroll to the homepage and click your profile. Heck, you can even send a PM to yourself to get to your profile. Which is fastest though? I'm pretty sure we both know

Your hack is something completely different. My hack adds a link to the navbar, yours adds a link to a user's threads in the UserCP. Please, read the description of the hack before posting useless spqm.
