Adding Blog CP Links

[FBJunkie]

How can some of the blog control panel links be put under the "Blog" link in the User CP? Right now all that is there is the Blog link; looks kind of weird, to me at least.

agreed. It seems to me that there are now two seperate CP's. Wish the blog CP was part of the user CP. The seperation seems very odd.

The blog link is there in case someone goes looking for the blog settings in the User CP. I felt that the blog links made the User CP too crowded so I opted for it to have its own section. At the time that we redesign the User CP, we can reevaluate placing the Blog setting there.

If you wish to add links to the bottom of the User CP where it currently says "Blog", modify the blog_usercp_nav_link template.

Which template i need to modify to show the Blog line under UserCP...I have a customized style and the Blog does not appear.

The default style shows fine.
Thanks

$template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom] is missing from BLOG_SHELL

Can anyone tell me exactly how to add links under the Blog category in the user's control panel area. I know I need to edit the blog_usercp_nav_link template, but I am not quite sure what to add. I would like a link that takes the user to the blog to post page, and a link to the main (home) blog page. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stilling in line for an answer to this one.. :)

But I also want a code for see comments.. ;)

Main blog page - <a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Blog</a>
Post an entry - <a href="blog_post.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newblog">Post</a>

But I also want a code for see comments..Meaning what exactly?

I'm sorrry, but where? Main blog page?
When I put your code into blog_usercp_nav_link this happens: the new lnks are not listed under the Blog menu, but on the top of the site. what do I do wrong?

I mean is it possible to get a link to subscribed blogs, and my own blogcommentslist? Not comment written by me, but given to me?

You need to add the links within the table cell like this:


<tr>
<td class="thead"><a href="blog_usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[blog]</a></td>
<td><a href="blog.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Blog</a></td>
<td><a href="blog_post.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newblog">Post</a></td>
</tr>

Why not make the sections of the usercp menu like in the admin cp where they can be collapsed or as dropdowns?

Having the blog header link to the edit options is confusing to some if they are looking to go to their blog or add a blog entry directly from their usercp.
