Search JSON for use in a Navbar sub-menu

[Snowhog]

I'd like to create a sub-menu Navigation Bar for finding the users started posts. When I use the Advanced Search to identify all my started posts, this is the search JSON:

search?searchJSON=%7B%22starter_only%22%3A1%2C%22author%22%3A%5B%22Snowhog%22%5D%2C%22channel%22%3A%5B%5D%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22created%22%3A%22desc%22%7D%2C%22view%22%3A%22%22%2C%22exclude_type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_PrivateMessage%22%5D%7D&btnSubmit=

In order for this to be useful in what I want to do, the author needs to be the variable for the user that is logged in. Reviewing https://forum.vbulletin.com/articles...he-search-json hasn't been productive for me, or I'm simply not seeing in it what I need.

Ignore the following below. Enclosing in TAGs does prevent the issue. I had spaces accidentally included in the code above. Fixed.

As an aside, the enclosed code illustrates a problem with space insertion of 'long words' (AdminCP > Options > Topic Display Options > Number of Characters Before Wrapping Text).

That limitation shouldn't be imposed if the characters are enclosed in TAGS (Quote, Code, PHP, etc).

It cannot be done using a static search JSON alone because the author should be dynamically set to the currently logged-in user. We could probably include an onclick attribute in the navigation menu to include a Javascript code that will dynamically set the author name in the URL.

I'll post the code when I figure it out.
