In board view you can modify url to:
http://website.com/index.php?board=1.0;sort=starter


to sort topics by its creator but is it possible to display topics started by specific user id? Like that:
http://website.com/index.php?board=1.0;sort=starterid=X


Maybe you know a modification that can do such a thing?

I can go to:
/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=1;board=1
but i want to have it as in MessageIndex.

I believe the string you're after is the one you can select yourself, via your profile...

/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=xx

Not exactly, because it displays topics in another way than MessageIndex. There's no link to last post, number of replies etc. It displays topics in totally different way.

This reminds me of something I did for 1.1.21 - when viewing a thread, show only posts by [user]. I went ahead and did a few modifications to enable this in the message index for 2.0.14. I don't have pages of test topics on my test forum to know if it does everything 100% accurately, but I think it should work just fine. Perhaps, if you are able to test it, let me know?


In MessageIndex.php, find this code. It should start around lines 330 - 340 for a 2.0.14 unmodded version of MessageIndex.php:

After installation, you would activate this functionality by appending u=[id] to the thread. So, like, hxxp://your-website.com/forum/index.php?board=1.0;u=1

Use with proper caution.

Thank you very much. Works like a charm. :)
