Find all content

[Cees50]

In the profile page of a user, in the tab postings, there are beneath two links.

one is Find all content by {name}
the other one is Find all threads by {name}

My users dont find those links. They are all vB users...
Where and what do i have to change, so the two links are in the navtab of the forum beside the whats new?

Find the place where i can place that. Its in navigation template.

But if i place this

<ul>
                                    <xen:hook name="member_view_search_content_types">
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$user.user_id}'}">{xen:phrase find_all_content_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$user.user_id}', 'content=thread'}">{xen:phrase find_all_threads_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a></li>
                                    </xen:hook>

Then i get an error. It cant find the member... Must i place some code more?

The links in the profile are not search links, they are actions from the members controller:
http://xenforo.com/community/members/cees50.15174/recent-content
http://xenforo.com/community/members/cees50.15174/recent-activity

So your code should more look like

<ul>
                                    <xen:hook name="member_view_search_content_types">
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link members/recent-content, {$user.user_id}}">{xen:phrase find_all_content_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link members/recent-activity, {$user.user_id}}">{xen:phrase find_all_threads_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a></li>
                                    </xen:hook>

Untested, have a go and tell me if it works.
EDIT : fixed bad copy/paste.

Also, you want it to appear in the navtab but I'm not sure the $user template var is accessible from there. This is probably the cause of your error.

On a side note, placing those links related to the main content into the navigation area is not a good practice IMHO. But I assume you know your users better than I do.

No that doesnt work, Got an error while compiling

My users... They are vB users and are struggling to learn. So i try to get it as easy as possible. Never want to go back

Tried the new version.. didnt work. still get the error message that it cant find the user

It seems I misunderstood your question, and submitted the wrong links. Yours were OK from the start, so forget about my first post.

Finally, I checked and the $user template var is not usable in the navigation template. You have two options :
- either these links are supposed to give a user the ability to find its own posts : then you can use your links but replace the $user.user_id var with $visitor.user_id :

<ul>
                                    <xen:hook name="member_view_search_content_types">
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$visitor.user_id}'}">{xen:phrase find_all_content_by_x, 'name={$visitor.username}'}</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$visitor.user_id}', 'content=thread'}">{xen:phrase find_all_threads_by_x, 'name={$visitor.username}'}</a></li>
                                    </xen:hook>

- or you want these links to be related to the user profile that is beeing shown, thus the only option is to move these links from their place in the member_view template to somewhere else in the same template, e.g. under the avatar: find

<xen:include template="ad_member_view_below_avatar" />

and add below

<a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$user.user_id}'}">{xen:phrase find_all_content_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a>
<a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$user.user_id}', 'content=thread'}">{xen:phrase find_all_threads_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a>

The result is as follows: Then do a little styling and you're done.

                </div>
            </li>

Read again my post You have two options. The one you chose is for the current visitor only, so you must replace $user.user_id with $visitor.user_id
For specific user links, you have to edit the member_view template.
