site addition suggestion...

[noclue119]

site addition... I think there should be a favorite folder on the home and user cp page. The will take u specific folders that u add into that folder. It is a pain in the ass to get to the georgia/street kill page so if there is like a one button link that you can add into a custom panel to get to it, taht would be nice as hell.

thank

So do you mean having a section for favorite urls or sections in the User CP?
So you go there and it has the direct link to the Georgia section or to a thread you wanted to read?

If it's just a link, why not just make a folder in your IE favorites and put all your forum links in there?

mostly on the home page. Like between user cp and online buddies.

The reason y i can't just add it to my favorites is because i have 800 different links in my faviorite folder... I'm a system ana/DBA and need to book marks to like 1000 different sever and test pages. so favorites is not a option

Ah, ok. Well, you could still make a separate folder in your ie favorites just for forum stuff. But I guess it just seems like you have so many that it would just make it that easier to separate your personal favorites from work, and you have a lot of work ones.

Well, for just keeping tracks of specific threads you can use the thread subscription feature. You can set it so you won't receive notification for your subscribed threads and if you want to check them out you can just go into that section in your user cp. I know it's not a direct way of accessing threads, but it's good for just keeping an organized list of threads you want to keep up with over time.

A favorites place huh. I agree the site is quite large and sometimes hard to navigate. Any VB experts out there care to find me an existing mod that can perform this function? I don't really have the time to code it myself..

easy...
make another column in the db

everytime u add a favorite u stores the link in the db via delimitor(| , ' ...).

use a loop use the mid function and parse out the , and response.write it to the screen...

apply ur current css to it and ur are all done... The only thing is. u are running php isn't that in linux doesn't that require a php not vb coder?

I can "hack" the feature into vbulletin as easy as anyone else. The catch is to integrate it into VB as a link that is visible everywhere, and then, integrate it into the user CP properly. Believe me, it's still time consuming.

:wtf:

This is already in place. They're called "subscribed forums". I have 3 in my User CP that appear below my latest subscribed threads list.

Just open the particular section you want to add, click on "forum tools" at the top, select "subscribe to this forum", choose if you want daily, weekly, or no email update reminders, and subscribe. Bang, there's a link in your User CP and also a link to the latest post in that forum. I get an email every night with links to threads in those that I might have missed.
