Description: This Template edit add's user specified links in the QuickLinks Dropdown, that can be edited via usercp, in the Settings & Options Section, edit options.

First, go to your admincp/User Profile Fields/User Profile Field Categories/AddNewProfile Field Category.

Title: My Links
Description: Here you can display links you go to on a regular basis
Location on Profile Page: Where ever you wish.
Click Save.

Now, you will need to add at least Two New User Profile Fields, You will need to duplicate these steps for each "My Links" link's you wish to display.
I made 6 links for my members, but this number can be any number you wish.
But, you will need to make twice as many User Profile Fields as the number of links you wish to display.

In the User Profile Fields Section in your admincp, click Add New User Profile Field

Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box

( All New User Profile Field Profile Fields are Single-Line Text Box )

Title: Link One URL

Description: Add link you wish to go to.

Profile Field Category: My Links

Max length of allowed user input: 100

Field Length: 25

Field Required: No

Field Editable by User: Yes

Private Field: No

Field Searchable on Members List: No

Show on Members List: No

Which page displays this option? : Options : Other
Remember this number each time you make a new user profile field.
Click Save

Example, each link you wish to show in your My Links section in your navbar takes two User Profile Fields to create.
One for url, and one for the name you wish to display in the link.

After you have completed all the User Profile Fields open your Styles & Templates dropdown in your admincp, Search in Templates, search for navbar.

Search for:

Code:

<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[miscellaneous]</td></tr>

Above that add:

HTML Code:

<tr><td class="thead">My Links</td></tr><if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldxx']"><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]$session[sessionurl_q]" TARGET="_blank">$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]</td></tr> </if>

The two xx must be the same number as the profile field you made for the URL Link.
The other xx must be the same number as the profile field you made for the link name you want displayed in your My Links section in the Quicklinks Dropdown.
Use that code above for each Link you wish to display, changing the profile field numbers as you go. ENJOY!!!

Note: I am not a coder, I learn as I go.

In the bottom code you said to add, the <if> tag should be around the entire <tr>, if not it will throw validation errors.

No sir, the if conditional is there.
The code boxs made me look twice as well.

HTML Code:

<tr><td class="thead">My Links</td></tr>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldxx']"><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]$session[sessionurl_q]" TARGET="_blank">$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]</td></tr> </if>

You are awesome Hasann. Thanks for helping me!

I still think it should be the other way.

HTML Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldxx']">
<tr>
<td class="thead">My Links</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]$session[sessionurl_q]" TARGET="_blank">$bbuserinfo[fieldxx]</td>
</tr>
</if>

No point in just having the header if their is no link in their
