How do I add links to the User Info Area in VB Posts?

[Ronseal]

I'm not quite sure how to word it, but what I'd like to do is add two links next to the user info area that appears next to a persons posts within the forum.

The two links I'd like to add next to the posts a person makes within vB 3.6.* are:

- Adds from this Seller
But I just want to call it 'My Ads' and linking it to a persons own classified Ads.

- Members Gallery
I want to link to a simple list of a the users personal gallery uploaded images in pp_pro gallery, eg; ./gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/474 and not ./gallery/member.php?uid=474&protype=1 and I want to called that 'My Pics')

I know if I go to Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Postbit Templates -> postbit or postbit_legacy

I can manually hard-code some links to the templates that form this area within the vB forum posts but I don't see how I can do it and make it user specific, is are there any Mods for this type of enhancement?

Many thanks
Ron

i guess it all depends what your doing. I dont know what mods there are as that is outside support and I dont really go there.

I would think personally you could hard code links in their and use whatever vbulletin variable for the users userid that vb template users it should be in that template somewhere. I think the template you want is postbit but you can post a thread in the mod forums should you wish

Done, and it appears works a treat. I've placed the following code:

<div class="postdata"><a href="http://www.mysite.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/$post[userid]">My Gallery</a> | <a href="http://www.mysite.com/classifieds/showcat.php?cat=500&ppuser=$post[userid]">My Ads</a></div>

under this...

</if><span id="repdisplay_$post[postid]_$post[userid]">$post[reputationdisplay]</span></div></if>

...in the postbit_legacy template. Thanks for the 'vbulletin userid variable' tip Chuck, I must have my head turned off today.

Yep its all about using the proper variable the hard coded html is the easy part.
