Question - In my QUICK LINKS drop down links I would like to have a link that says My Posts or Go To My Posts that would pull up the posts of the member clicking it. So each member when logged on could quickly go to their posts - this link -
When I am creating the link in the files - what URL do I use so this link will work for each person when they are logged in to see their posts. I hope I explained that correctly, lol Thanks for the help

They can already access that info by clicking on their own user name>profile>posts. This would seem to duplicate that capability. Bart

This would seem to duplicate that capability. you are correct - i am trying to eliminate the extra step of having to go to their profile and make it a one click option from any page by putting it on the main navigation Quick Links Menu. On many forums there is a button available to "See My Posts" or "Go to my Posts" on the main menu of options. That is what I am trying to mimic. I know it can be done, I just want to make sure to code it properly to take the people to their specific post page. Thanks.

Hi TVD, This link works to create a My Posts button if you put it in the index_header template. I can't tell you where to put it because your theme is different from mine: <a class="navbutton" href="$ base_dir/view_user.php?id=$mark_all_read&posts=1">My Posts</a> Likewise, this link creates a My Started Topics button: <a class="navbutton" href="$ base_dir/view_user.php?id=$mark_all_read&topics_started=1">My Started Topics</a> EDIT: in both cases remove the space between $ and base. The space is needed here to defeat this forum. ($mark_all_read contains the user ID). regards, Martin. Last edited on Fri Jun 25th, 2010 02:08 pm by martin_wynne |

However, if you do this each one must start a new line in the template and be all on one line. Remove the spaces between $ and base: ?mark_all_read('<a class="navbutton" href="$ base_dir/view_user.php?id=$mark_all_read&posts=1">My Posts</a>':'') ?mark_all_read('<a class="navbutton" href="$ base_dir/view_user.php?id=$mark_all_read&topics_started=1">My Started Topics</a>':'') Note that :'') at the end is two single quotes, not a double quote. regards, Martin.

Hi Martin - question I have my Quick Links drop down options in the Menu2 template. So when I try to add this code to the other menu options it does not work
It creates the link in the drop down menu but I get and "Invalid request" Error page when a user clicks the link what am I doing wrong?

The user ID isn't available in the menu templates. It would need a mod to the php file (unless Jim or David can see otherwise?). I've posted php mods in the past but Jim is not too happy about them, and they will fail after the next upgrade. Instead I provided a mod which anyone can use in the theme editor. Note that you must make the mod in each of your themes. I've added the links to my board, thanks for the suggestion. But they can work only in the index_header template:Attached Image (viewed 63 times):

OK this worked GREAT putting it on the Home Page. Looks like this: Next question - How do I put those same 2 new buttons on my "New Posts" page in the same place? This page - http://www.watchfreeks.com/index.php?show=recent OR IN THE QUICK LINKS drop down menu so it would be on top of every page? Thank you!

All things are possible, but this requires a mod to the index.php file. I can provide the code, but Jim may not approve, and it will almost certainly be lost after the coming upgrade. p.s. I can see the new buttons when I visit your site as a guest (which then produce error messages). To hide them from guest visitors, see my earlier post. regards, Martin.

Thanks Martin. This partially worked for me in the theme I tested, but the two buttons are sitting on top of the Forums/Selected/Popular/Recent/Mark all forums, I would prefer them to be beside them on the same line as James had it.

Hi TVD, It's only one extra line, so here it is. USE THIS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK -- the index.php file is critical and if you mess it up your entire board will be wrecked. In index.php find these lines (search for index_active_topics_header): "page_title" => BOARD_NAME, "main_menu" => main_menu(), "current_location" => BOARD_NAME, "pop_ups" => generate_user_popups($user_menus), "board_name" => BOARD_NAME, "show" => $vars["show"]); echo(create_list_header($vars["sort_by"], BASE_DIR . "/index.php?$show_what&sort_by=\$sort_by", $other_vars, "index_active_topics_header")); echo $output; and insert these lines in red where shown: "page_title" => BOARD_NAME, "main_menu" => main_menu(), "current_location" => BOARD_NAME, "pop_ups" => generate_user_popups($user_menus), "board_name" => BOARD_NAME, // FREEKS BEGIN "mark_all_read" => USER_ID, // FREEKS END "show" => $vars["show"]); echo(create_list_header($vars["sort_by"], BASE_DIR . "/index.php?$show_what&sort_by=\$sort_by", $other_vars, "index_active_topics_header")); echo $output; Save and upload the modified index.php file. You can then copy and paste the same code which you used in the index_header template into the index_active_topics_header template. The same buttons will then work in the Recent Posts pages. The // FREEKS lines are optional comments which will help you diff the files when you get the next board upgrade. regards, Martin.

Hi Steve, Post the relevant lines of your actual template code and I will mark it up for you. Everyone's theme is different (mine certainly is ) so it's difficult to provide code which will work for all.Do you want the buttons style, or plain text links like mine?

This code works for members logged in on the home page, but like you said guests see an error if they click, which makes sense.

you need to add !tab($tab_caption=' before each line and ') at the end

Thanks very much Martin and James, this is a very useful addition. James method also worked before I seen your reply, so I updated it with yours and that works fine too. I slightly changed the text on the buttons to the text you used. Attached Image (viewed 54 times): Last edited on Sat Jun 26th, 2010 11:45 pm by wingnutter |
