Hello to all.

I have seen a few times where a forum will have additional blocks in a users profile where they can add their url to their myspace and facebook accounts.

Also not sure if it is possible to place a small logo for a myspace or facebook under a users member name like the IM logos, but I wanted to see how hard this would be and if it is even possible.

Yes something like that indeed.

I have seen a few sites that add these extra blocks so a member can add their link in it, yet I have not figured it out. Any help is appreciated.

Did you try that link you gave?
Even though it is an old mod, it just has template edits, and may work. If it doesnt, I will try editing it for you. Just contact me on AIM- eXn GraViTY, or PM me

Basically, to do like how I did it in mine in the link above, go to your AdminCP > User Profile Fields > Add New User Profile Field with the following:

Profile Field Type: Single-Line Text Box
Title: Myspace ID
Description: Enter your Myspace Profile ID if you have one
Field Required: No
Field Editable by User: Yes
Private Field: No
Field Searchable on Members List: No
Show on Members List: No

Then go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > memberinfo_block_contactinfo:

Find:
<dd><a href="$prepared[profileurl]">$prepared[profileurl]</a></dd>
Underneath, add:
<!-- Start U.S. Military Life Customization -->
<if condition="$userinfo['fieldx']">
<dt class="shade">Myspace</dt>
<dd><a href="http://www.myspace.com/$userinfo[fieldx]">$userinfo[fieldx]</a></dd>
<else />
<dt class="shade">Myspace</dt>
<dd>$userinfo[musername] has not entered their MySpace Friend ID</dd>
</if>
<!-- End U.S. Military Life Customization -->
And change x to your profile field number
