[SOLVED] Menu in CB Content module | load tab or manual ?

First I thought it would be better to re-create the whole menu with all CB-URLs manually... but loading the menu-tab with substitutions was faster Otherwise, I would have overseen some dynamic actions like: report-this-user etc. Additional CB plugins add their links as well. What I don´t like about the loaded menu tab...:

- "Manage-Invites" displays on first position. I think, plugins should add their link at the end of the menu... ?
- "Remove Avatar" has no confirmation, i would like to remove this item completely.


Thats why I am thinking of re-creating all actions and URLs manually... with Substitutions. That gives total freedom, but more work. I guess, I collected almost any CB URL that I know of for now.

1.) Is it possible to have an overview about ALL important user actions? Also for Incubator or Subscriber-Plugins, if there any important ones?)

2.) How to re-create and fill the following URLs with the visited userID at XXXXXX?
SEND EMAIL
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=emailUser&uid=XXXXXX&Itemid=999

REPORT USER
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=92&task=reportUser&uid=XXXXXX

3.) Also found the following infos on your page "Substitutions usage", which seem to be a shortcut for some typical links?! You wrote:

URL - display a CB constructed URL (pre-defined)
[cb:url location="DESTINATION" /]
DESTINATIONs include: login, logout, registers, lostpassword, manageconnections, profile_view, profile_edit, list, itemid
[cb:url location="login" /]will display the login raw URL that can be included with HTML for example.
For list usage you must specify the parameter list="LIST_ID"; without it you'll be given the default userlist URL.

Sorry for asking the obvious. What means "included with HTML"? What means "list usage"? Should i use those shortcuts instead of my "real URLs"?

- "Manage-Invites" displays on first position. I think, plugins should add their link at the end of the menu... ?

CB Invites adds a menu link to the "Edit Profile" menu and that's where it places them.

- "Remove Avatar" has no confirmation, i would like to remove this item completely.

Link is generated through core files. Only way to remove it is with CSS as other means would require core edits.

Not really, that's a bit of a daunting task. You're welcome to inspect the elements on page using Firebug for Firefox to see what the URLs.

Use the [user_id] substitution to substitute in the ID.

Yes, CB 1.4 introduced some new substitution API to provide shortcut URL construction. It gives you the raw URL that you can add as the href in your HTML link. List usage is the userlist, you need to specify the list id if using such destination. Please re-read the section carefully.

Mmh, l am picky I know... The ordering looks strange to me. At least for the enduser. The menu should begin with visit/edit MyProfile.

Yes almost done... Just want to be sure, that this is not an obsolete task for me... since the documentation seems to be almost complete, I was looking for some kind of confirmation.

Very useful. It shrinks and simplifies the CB URLs. Might come in handy.
