I know that is a confusing title but what I need is help with a few things. One being I want to create my own links like Sign out, Messages and Profile.

What I mean is if I put this in my template

Code:

<div id="sNavbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="http://forumthememedia.forumotion.com/search">Search</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://forumthememedia.forumotion.com/register">Register</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">No New Messages</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Profile</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Sign out</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

Then what would be the dynamic link be for messages, profile and sign out? So that whenever a user is logged in they can click on profile and it takes them to their profile.

Another thing is I want the message link to show an image when there is a new message.. how do I do this?

Profile link: /profile?mode=editprofile
PM (Inbox): /privmsg?folder=inbox
http://www.worlddezign.com/t849-forumotion-phpbb3-boards-pm-counter
Sign out: m/login?logout

all inside:

Code:

<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_in -->
<!-- END switch_user_logged_in -->

Thanks buddy. The edit profile one I figured out. I want it to actually go to their profile.

aarh.. Saxaca or dion made a script for that..
http://diondesigns.forumotion.com/t440-

Code:

$(function() {
    var uid = document.getElementById('uid').innerHTML;

    if (uid !=-1) {
        var x = $('a.mainmenu[href*="/profile?mode=editprofile"]')[0];

        x.href = '/u'+ uid;
        x.innerHTML = 'My profile';
    }
});

make a div or whatever with an id "uid"

Use that variables from phpBB:

Code:

<a href="{U_PRIVATEMSGS}">Your private message text</a>
<a href="{U_LOGIN_LOGOUT}">Your logout/login text</a>
<a href="/login">Your login text</a>
<a href="{U_REGISTER}">Your register text</a>

*note: {U_LOGIN_LOGOUT} it's for login and logout in the same time.

Or you can use Ganstar15's code .

How do I use the PM script?

Code:

    $.ajax({
      url: '/privmsg?folder=inbox',
      success: function(ajax) {
        count =$('img[src="NEW POST IMAGE URL"]', ajax).length;

        if (count > 0) {
          $('a[href*="privmsg"]').append('NEW!');
        }
      }
    });

Not sure how to use that? Plus I am using PunBB

host it in fm scripts managements, and change "NEW POST IMAGE URL" to the new post image.

I just upload it there and that is it?

Do I have to put a path in my template or anything?
