Yep, it still works. Andreas showed how to do this a while back.

Anyone looking for a way to put Visitor Messages back as the default instead of the Activity Stream use this code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

On the same hook (member_build_blocks_start).

Thankyou BOP5.
Exactly what i needed.

I've had that running on my site for ages. You should have noticed it there.

Can you explain how to do this in 4.2.0 step by step for the most mentally challenged? Thank you.

Log into the Admin CP.

On the side menu expand "Products & Plugins"

Click on "Plugin Manager"

At the very bottom there is a link to "Add New Plugin"

On that page put in the following information-

Product: vBulletin (this should be default)
Title: Tab Fix
Hook: member_build_blocks_start (from a drop-down list)
Execution Order: 5 (default value)

To make Visitor Messaging the default past this into the PHP Code box:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Or to make About Me as the default paste in this instead:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Save the plugin and you should be done- go to a profile page to test.

Thank you! Done and tested.

The best solution, though, would be able to switch the activity stream in the profile off, most of our users hate it, they don't want to be in a fish bowl with BB watching over their shoulder

I agree with this. Is there a way to remove the tab to activity stream in the user profile?

[tenizmenu]

Works perfect, but if I have Visitor messaging off it shows me a empty page. Could it be a condition if Visitor messaging is off to redirect me to the About me tab?

I tried with options[vm_enable] but it's not working

Okay, I've had this little mod installed since before 4.2.0. I am wondering if it is causing some display issues with the user's Activity tab.

On my site, when I click on the user's Activity tab, the All sub-tab displays all the activity from all the members across the entire site. When I check this on the vB.com site, their All sub-tab only shows that user's activity.

Any thoughts on this?

[BirdOPrey5]

Well disable the plugin and see if it helps. I doubt it is the cause but it is easy to test.

[Mobo]

Thanks Joe. It's not this plugin. Further research as relieved that what I am seeing is "normal" behavior.

I do want to do something similar to what this mod does, would you mind taking a look at this thread for me since you seem to know what you are about

[BirdOPrey5]

Sorry, I tried a few things but nothing worked.

[Mobo]

Thanks for looking Joe. Someone pointed me to the memberinfo_block_activity template, so I'm going to do some surgery in there and see what I can come up with.

[ilikeitlikethat]

Thanks! my members are glad that they don't have to stare at the Activity as default when they do to their profiles now. Much prefer VM as default.

[Mr GRiM]

Thanks, why hasn't this been added in the acp as an option, new features like these need to have options, I mean I like the new feature but it seems like they made it the default page just to show it off lol
