I was not talking about the template names, but about the id for your tab:

Change that to mpphotos now.

Remove this:
Replace with:
(You didn't put in code for the albumcount, so do that too and any other variable in that template.)

seconds just testing

pair with me kindly

just any suggestions to make the if statements work as they are allocated with $block_data

for example

<vb:if condition="$block_data['albumbits2']">

You would need to set that variable first:

$this->block_data['albumbits2'] = $albumbits2;

did it erlier when it wasnt working

seems to me I'm not that bad though or maybe Lynne is a good teacher dont know

Thank You Again

Hey Lynne,

It retrieves the albums yet if I add the if statements
and set the variable of data_block

as you said

add the above code in php as i attached in the privous post

the if statement is not working once I add it around the albums and buttons

it displays that there is no album

the template as follow

you can see the if statements in this bet

it goes to else which is there is no album when there is

I have tried all what you have suggested me

yet is not working??

Why are you not using this:
<vb:if condition="$albumbits2">

instead of this:
<vb:if condition="$block_data['albumbits2']">

You know that $albumbits2 is defined and registered for use in that template, so why aren't you using it?

then why I'm setting this

$this->block_data['albumbits2'] = $albumbits2;

?

I thought this is block data a permission array that holds permission for many things
one of them albumbits2????

am I thinking in the right direction??

also registered albumcount yet is not display as well as this variable is not display??
{vb:raw userinfo.userid}

--------------- Added [DATE]1371564907[/DATE] at [TIME]1371564907[/TIME] ---------------

trying randomly

tried this

vB_Template::preRegister('memberinfo_block_photos' , array('albumbits2' => $albumbits2));
vB_Template::preRegister('memberinfo_block_photos' , array('albumcount' => $albumcount));
vB_Template::preRegister('memberinfo_block_photos' , array('userinfo' => $userinfo));
vB_Template::preRegister('memberinfo_block_photos' , array('albums' => $albums));

And what code did you add to your plugin to get the album count or userinfo - I don't see any code there to define those. And, $albums is not something you can use - it is the query, so it's just a pointer really.

As for why you are trying to use $block_data['albumbits2'], I don't know. If you are just trying to only add code if $albumbits2 exists, then I would use that variable.

Ok can you tell me how to display the album counts???
