Search JSON for use in Navbar for "My Recent Posts"

[flohse]

I want to add a Navbar link for "My Recent Posts" like in the Mod Add "My Started Topics" Navigation Bar Menu Item. So I took a look at the link in the user dropdown menu at the top of the page. The JSON search string would be like

searchJSON=%7B%22authorid%22%3A%5B%222%22%5D%2C%22view%22%3A%22topic%22%2C%22channel%22%3A%222%22%2C %22exclude_type%22%3A%5B%22vBForum_PrivateMessage% 22%5D%2C%22sort%22%3A%7B%22lastcontent%22%3A%22des c%22%7D%7D

The next thing I did was decoding URI with this result

{"authorid":["2"],"view":"topic","channel":"2","exclude_type":["vBForum_PrivateMessage"],"sort":{"lastcontent":"desc"}}

In "authorid":["2"] "2" is my actual userid. I understood that this has to be dynamically changed to the calling userid on click on the Navbar link.

So my idea was to use the onclick from the mod Add "My Started Topics" Navigation Bar

onclick="this.href=this.href.replace('*username*', encodeURIComponent(pageData.username))" oncontextmenu="this.href=this.href.replace('*username*', encodeURIComponent(pageData.username))"

and to change it for the use of the actual userid. This the point where Í got stuck. How can I determine and reference the actual userid? Can I derive it from the username and if yes, how?

Ideas anybody?

Thanks in avdance.

And since userid is just a number, you don't have to encode it.

this.href=this.href.replace('*username*', pageData.userid)

You may want to use *userid* as placeholder instead of *username* to avoid confusion.

this.href=this.href.replace('*userid*', pageData.userid)

Use pageData.userid instead of pageData.username.
