Miscellaneous Hacks - View Your Posts/Threads from Navbar Search

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


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.

This messed up my admin panel. I tried to edit the usergroups to allow them to view this in the menu and instead of editing the usergroup, it created a new custom group so now I have custom groups for administrator, moderator, etc. with the permission to view the on the menu but no change to the original group i tried to edit. Then I went in and checked to see if those custom groups had permission and they did not. If i tried to give the custom group permission, it created yet another custom group. I tried uninstalling this product but the option block is still on the usergroup permissions page except there is nothing written in the option block. I tried editing a different permission for my admin account and now I get this error. I can't change any permissions on my usergroups at all now!

I deleted bitfield_ms_vopt_38.xml from my xml folder and reinstalled the old version. My usergroups are still messed up. No matter what edits I make to them, it just creates a new custom group that I also can't edit. I've checked on my forum that does not have this hack installed at all and there is no problem over there so I know it's not vb 3.8.1 that caused this problem. I also disabled the only other hack I upgraded today (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199975) and I'm still having the problem. Even when I disable the old version of this hack, I have this problem. This is a pretty big deal and I need a fix for this!

Hi Mosh,

my users tell me, that the version for 3.7 of your mod showed them the threads instead of the posts after clicking on "view your posts"?

I don't remember, but can I do anything to get this button to behave like that?

Neither version of this hack behaves like that. There have always been two links, one for the threads, the other for the posts, and has been since I released this hack.
