Quick header-inc question

[dead7]

I customized the header-inc.php file quite extensively and have only recently added another navigation on it which better matches the site.

I've gone into pp-inc.php and see how you draw out $menu and $menu2, the problem is I cannot get the UID on my new navigation URLS.

Example: You use {$User['userid']} to call the ppuser or any user ID for that matter. Normally I can use the VBulletin equivalent $bbuserinfo[userid].

In my header-inc i have a whole graphical navigation which I need to get these dynamic user ID's on ...

Which way do i do it?

I've tried these..

1.) showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=$bbuserinfo[userid]

or

2.) showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser={$User['userid']}

But neither actually render out the user ID on those urls after ppuser=


I need to find out how to call the USER ID of the person so I can complete my nav. Everything else is fine, this is really only for "My ads" and "Profile" links.

If you can clue me in on which vars to use, and where, to get this working I would greatly appreciate it!

The vb variable should work it all depends on your code. Since I dont know where how and what your doing where I can not really respond more

Here is what I have in the html output portions of header-inc.php.

<div id="classifiednav">
<ul id="classifiednavList">
<li id="classifiednavHome"><a href="/classifieds"></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavPostAd"><a href="uploadproduct.php"></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavMyAds"><a href="/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=$bbuserinfo[userid]"></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavMyWatchList"><a href="showcat.php?cat=fav"></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavSearch"><a href="/classifieds/search.php?cat="></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavMemList"><a href=""></a></li>
<li id="classifiednavProfile"><a href="/classifieds/member.php?uid=$bbuserinfo[userid]"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Basically you can see in the bold instances of My Ads and the last instance which is Profile you'll see I have the typical VB type code to call the user ID. This same type of code works everywhere throughout the entire site, just not in the classifieds header..

Does this help further? Let me know if you need more information.

That code is only valid for vbulletin 3.0 series

vbulletin 3.5/3.6 uses $vbulletin->userinfo[userid]

[dead7]

Well, help me out here

I just did it again using the following in the URLS above.. still nothing :/

ppuser=$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]
or
ppuser=$userinfo[userid]

[Chuck S]

Okay and have you followed the header-inc.php file maybe use $vbuserid?

It also depends where your calling this html cause realize it needs to be below after a user is authenticated or its meaningless.

Yeah it was in the right spot, but just needed $vbuserid, that worked.
