I ussually use that vb raw and working, I wonder why when using vb raw on navigation manager not working? Hook needed perhaps?

No... That format isn't supported there. You need to use the shorthand code in the second post.

I'm still getting the same issue, links still appear blank username.

Be careful!

4.2.0 the following work...

• {userinfo.xxx} eg. {userinfo.securitytoken}
• {options.xxx} eg. {options.bburl}
• {session.xxx} eg. {session.sessionurl}
• {ggggg} any global variable, i.e. something you have defined in your code
• {ggggg.iiiii} any item in a global array

In 4.2.1 it will be a bit different...
See: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15312

• {bbuserinfo.xxx} eg. {bbuserinfo.securitytoken}
• {vboptions.xxx} eg. {vboptions.bburl}
• {session.xxx}eg. {session.sessionurl}
• and {vb#xxxx.yyyy} for anything in $vbulletin eg. {vb#userinfo.userid}
• {ggggg} any global variable
• {ggggg.iiiii} any item in a global array

Yeah but I used:

http://103.12.12.126:9090/?nick={bbuserinfo.username}&channels=ifradio

And it's not working on vBulletin 4.2.1's Admin CP -> Settings -> Navigation Manager

[AusPhotography]

4.2.1 has not been released yet!! It's alpha only.
Use {userinfo.username} for 4.2.0 (and PL1 and PL2)

[vivoperdio]

Sorry, I meant 4.2.0 PL2

What should I use then?

Finally I made it worked with {userinfo.username}

Thank you for your help, AusPhotography, Wayne Luke, Dustin L.

I'm late to the party, but I've been fighting to get some links working in the "adv_portal_navtab_subpages" template and this thread helped me the most out of the dozens of pages I searched.

I was trying to get this url:

forumdisplay.php?{session.sessionurl}do=markread&markreadhash={userinfo.securitytoken}

into the navbar, but I was having issues with the securitytoken part. I ended up with the following and it works beautifully:

<a href="/forum/forumdisplay.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markread&markreadhash={vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}">Mark Forums Read</a>

By combining the "vb:raw" and "bbuserinfo" methods, it finally worked properly.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, but it's the one that ultimately led me to solving my issue so I just wanted to share. Maybe the next person is able to benefit from this.

It won't help as your code is for a vBAdvanced template rather than the vBulletin built in Navigation Manager

I attempted to use {forum.forumid} but it appeared blank when I was on a particular forum. What must I do to get this to work? (I'm using 4.2.2)

Hello, please can you start your own thread with full details of the problem....
