My Posts & Threads in navbar

[dutchbb]

Port from: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=118306

This adds a "My Posts" link to your navbar with a drop down menu for threads. Now you can easily find your recent topics and post with one click :)

Installation is easy and should take no more than a few minutes.

Please click install (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=125529) if you use this, thank you.

[Benj]

do you know if theres anyway to show my threads from a specific forum ?

[alkatraz]

great little mod, thanks!

I've changed it around a bit to Include those options along with the UserCP

Here's what mine now looks like,

[dutchbb]

I like that alkatraz, nice addition.

[StuntFactoryX]

how did ya do that alkatraz? great idea triple.

[alkatraz]

how did ya do that alkatraz?

since my navbar is sorta customized already i'm too lazy to cut and paste step by step instructions, but here's a quick run down

- I did the mod as instructed first
- then I moved the part that goes beside "New Posts" so it was beside "UserCP"

ah screw it, here's the bits of code you can figure it out it's pretty easy =)


basicaly I replaced the bits within the USERCP <td>'s with:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



and here's what my dropdown setup is like:


Code:
---------------

[xman_79]

Installed .
Nice one. good idea
Thank you .

[friendly]

Terrific! This should be standard in VB. Thank you!

[iran.gs]

Installed Tyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[abenoking]

This needs to be a standard feature that comes with every fresh install of VB.

Thanks for the fix!

[perfphysio]

Great Mod. Just tried it in 3.1.6 without any problem :)

Yes also for 3.6.2.

[mrkhm]

the edits are different for 3.6.4, can't find the parts to replace.

[marcsmith73]

Very helpful on my site!! Thxs!

[skariko]

Good work, I like it so much! ;)

Just tried it, it's exactly the same :)

[mandy71480]

This is a nice addition! Thanks! I have 3.6.4 and had no problems finding the edits and I have over 10 mods installed.

Thanks works good in version 3.6.3 with the 3.6.4 security patch.

I was wondering.
Someone mentioned recently that the "My Posts" formatting is not quite as appealing as the Advanced Search "Username" results. Does anyone know if it's possible to get the same look and feel as the Advanced search with the "My Posts" addon?

[Reedly]

I assume you're talking about the fact that the link doesn't 'drop down' like the search and 'quick links' links unless you click the arrow instead of the words "my posts"?

I noticed this too, and it was a bit confusing at first since click 'my posts' took me directly to that section. But, then I clicked the arrow to receive the drop down menu.

Is there a way to easily make the words part of the advanced link also?

Oh, and this is a great mod that's working wonderfully - thank you!!!

What you mean is "threads I posted in"...

That will show you a list with all the threads you have posted in, ordered by the last post in it.

You can use this string to replace the one in "my posts":


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



However I believe when someone searches for 'their posts', it's more logical to show the latest posts, not the threads they posted in.

A better way to do it IMO would be to add the extra feature like mentioned above (threads I posted in) in the drop down menu:

FIND in navbar:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



ADD BELOW:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



So now you have the 3
-my posts (YOUR posts, listed as posts)
-my threads (threads YOU started, listed as threads)
-threads I posted in (threads you DIDN'T neccecairly start, but containing your posts, listed as threads)

Hope this makes sense to you :)

Well my members use "my posts" most of the time so they actually wanted to click once and get the posts. But you can have it your way:

In navbar FIND:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



REPLACE WITH:




Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

[obmob]

Good idea :)

[Sakera]

The search cache gives a problem with the View my threads stuff, sadly. When you Write new threads, you can risk that View my threads is'n updated for over an hour, as the search is cached....

[styleforum]

Nice mod, I'll see how people like it and if it needs to be spiffed up like some here have done.

One note though - shouldn't the accesskey be something other than '2'? I bet 99.9% of people would never use that, but since 2 is already the accesskey for New Posts, it will probably confuse some browsers.

Thanks for writing it though! I'm sure people will enjoy it.

[mrkhm]

well done!

[JadedSouls]

Great mod! I was looking for something like this today as a few members suggested having something in the navbar such as this!

Kudos!

[jw00dy]

Thank you! Clicked Installed.

TOTALLY! :D

[jauhari]

Install and running JUST PERFECT ;)

[webmaster74]

thanks.

has anyone tested if this mod works fine in 3.6.8 ???

[dutchbb]

Yes it works in 3.6.8 :)

[webmaster74]

unhappy.

In 'navbar' template:
FIND:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



the one on line 85 or the one on line 98???

there are two occurences of this string.

[webmaster74]

"my posts" and "my threads" are hardcoded!

[DiesellMinded]

How Do I Add a Threads Ive Posted in link here too?

[bbrase]

I, for the life of me cannot get this to work... I have the code where I need and such. Shouldn't I be at the very least be getting an error or something up on the navbar?

Running, 3.6.8

Of course, this is a template mod, not a plugin or file mod.

Make sure you add everything in the right place, maybe you have done changes before this edit? For example an </if> statement can affect this.

[DiesellMinded]

How Do I Make the My Posts in the nav bar Not Hyper link and only open the drop down ?

Thanks

[dutchbb]

That was already asked in page 2: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1181939&postcount=27

[gobears20]

I was curious if I wanted to display this only for certain user groups?

Would I put something like this below and if so, where?

Thanks!

[woodcreeker]

Great Mod, taught me several things about the navbar code. I actually modified this for my needs, and put it a top bar Mod.

Thanks dutchbb !!

[dutchbb]

gobears:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == A">B</if>

Replace A with usergroup and B with every code that is added in navbar (wrap it around each code).

woodcreeker: glad I could help :)

[yoyoyoyo]

I, for the life of me cannot get this to work... I have the code where I need and such. Shouldn't I be at the very least be getting an error or something up on the navbar?

Running, 3.6.8same here - code added, but nothing appears in the navbar - code checked and re-checked - strange

[yoyoyoyo]

Ok - I played around with this a bit, and got the "My Posts" dhtml menu to show up in my navbar, however when I click on the link it displays all of my links instead of dropping down the dhtml menu. To get the dhtml menu to drop down I have to click to the right of the link on the little arrow thingy, and then the dhtml menu opens to the right of the link and I can select either threads or links. How can I make it drop down directly below the link (like the search link does by default) without going to the posts listing first?

[mishb68]

Thanks! I've been wanting something like this.

[dutchbb]

yoyoyoyo: look at the first post on this page please.

[PokerFreedom]

Will this work for 3.6.8?

Let me know.

[dutchbb]

Yes it does.

[thompson]

nice addon

[Deadly Assassin]

Had to place the second lot of code between the </if> and <!-- / NAVBAR POPUP MENUS -->
Rather than above them both.

Otherwise i got a an error at the very top of my board.

Great mod though..

[DiesellMinded]

I Tried to uninstall this , but couldnt as it deleted the links even tho i moved them from the my posts drop down into the search drop down , Mod running on 3.7.0 Gold sort of

[Rick]

I have this running in 3.7.2. It brings up "My posts" fine, but the drop down menu for threads is busted.

This is the code I'm using, probably the same as what it says here:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Any quick fix to get the threads portion working again??

[N3v3R]

will this be ported to 3.7 soon?

[Yalan]

Thanks ;)

[bradhaskins]

Great mod. Thanks.

Clicked Installed.

[stb74]

I have added this mod.

Would you have any idea how to add a query for showing latest replies to a posts that a user has added a post to.

[Chunky Monkey]

Can anyone verify whether this works in 3.7.4?

[stardotstar]

Just looking right now and wondering this myself - if I get some time to sus it out I may be able to post back - otherwise I too am awaiting an update to 3.7

[stardotstar]

Looks fine to me on 3.7

Here is a copy of my navbar template - I had to add the section twice since the section to look for appears twice and is slightly different to 3.6 - but this is only after a cursory glance - perhaps someone can confirm this and we can show this good mod as compatible with 3.7



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

The section:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


can be found at line 96 and 109
I added the recommended text below both entries and it appears to work fine.
Therefore both the found sections become:
