[Forum] User Profile to automatically go to "About Me"

[promo4um]

In several places in the forum, when you select a link to a user a pop-up menu appears and one of the options is "View Profile". When you select this it goes to member.php and displays the user's profile information. By default, the tab "Visitor Messages" is preselected. We want it to automatically go to the "About Me" tab instead of "Visitor Messages". I've tried finding the template to edit by using Firebug, but no luck.

Can you tell me how to do this? Basically we want it to always go to the "About Me" tab when visiting a user's profile page.

Either modify the template to link to the about me tab (member.php?userid&tab=aboutme#aboutme ) or write a plugin to always go to that tab when you click to go to the profile. If you need help with this, the place to ask is over on vbulletin.org, the modification site. (I think I've even posted the plugin code over there before.)

Thanks Lynne. Do you know which template this is located in? I can't seem to find it with Firebug...

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. (Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.)

Wow I didn't know about "Add Template name in HTML Comments". This will save me a lot of time! Thanks!
