Favorite Threads in Profile Tab

[Head Roller]

I would like to add an additional Tab to the User Profiles that holds "Favorite Threads". I was thinking that I could just move the Thread Subscriptions to a Profile Tab and Name the Tab "Favorites" but I got confused trying to figure out how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The bottom line of what we want to accomplish, is to make a members favorite threads visible to others who are visiting that members profile.

Thanks in advance.

Might be some coding. But I find no way to do this unless you put the users subscribed threads in tab on their profile.

I agree. That will accomplish my goal. I am just not exactly sure how to go about it.

Hmm..
If you can find out somewhere how to make a profile tab, maybe you could copy the code from the Subscribed Threads page and paste it in the profile tab.

Yes... I had completed that and managed to create the Favorites tab. The problem is that I cannot figure out what part of the subscribed thread code to stick in there. I went to the USERCPSHELL template and found what I "THINK" is the code:


<tr><td class="$navclass[substhreads_listthreads]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=viewsubscription">$vbphrase[list_subscriptions]</a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="$navclass[substhreads_editfolders]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editfolders">$vbphrase[edit_folders]</a></td></tr>


But when I add it to the hook, the tab disappears, so obviously I am doing it wrong.

That is part of the User CP sidebar.

You need to make sure you do the query for those fields in your plugin.

I went to the subscription.php and pulled the code for "view threads" and pasted it into the plugin. Nothing. I am inserting the code as follows:


function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
{
------->$this->block_data['favorites'] = 'Browse my favorite threads.';<------ Replacing this line
}
}


Is that correct?

I doubt you can just add some <tr><td> tags into the middle of a tab and have it work. You need to use valid html on a page or it will break. And is the $navclass variable available in that plugin? Did you define it? And how about $vbphrase? Did you make it global? I'm not sure if that is valid there. Dumb down your lines without those two things and see if you can get anything to output.

I continued trying everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I took the question to vBulleting.com and they said that it would require a custom code.
