Thought I would give this a bump in hopes of finding a solution. Thanks.

Your spitting it out into an unordered list, <ul>. You will need to explode the ranks and then put an <li> in front of each one. What exactly are you doing with the rank list? Are you exploding it after you get it? Post the code you use to deal with it and spit it out.

Cledus James

lol, Im not that good. Basically Im just manually entering that list of items info into a custom field created in the admin cp under each user and then just calling that field to the tab. Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about with the "exploding and spit out". There is no code I'm dealing with besides the code in the new template and the pluggin.

Oddly, Right now I also have the custom field in a profile module on the right and it displays as it was typed in the admin cp > users, in a list format.

Here's a link to my profile on the site. That <br /> was entered in the admin cp > user > custom field blank.

Could there be something I could do in the memberinfo_block_mymodification template code:

Code:

<div class="alt1 block_row">

        <ul class="list_no_decoration">

                $block_data[mymodification]

        </ul>

</div>

And like I said before, thank you for all the help, I know it can be frustrating dealing with someone that doesn't know as much. Be nice to get this finally completed, it's really the last thing I got left to do.

The thing is, all you have is a bunch of text. If you want it to display a certain way, then you need to have some html in there. You can't just write:

Code:

1. Website Owner 2. 6 month Member 3. 1 year Member

and have it show up as:

Code:

1. Website Owner

2. 6 month Member

3. 1 year Member

You need to write:

Code:

</li>1. Website Owner <li>2. 6 month Member <li>3. 1 year Member

and acutally, more correctly, change the <ul>s in the template to <ol>s for an ordered list instead of an unordered list and then change the list to:

Code:

</li>Website Owner <li>6 month Member <li>1 year Member

Hello,

Is there a way to link to the profile and load a particular tab?

Regards, Paul.

ragtek

03-02-2009 09:56 AM

yes add &tab=tabid to the url

example: http://vbulletin-germany.org/member....2&tab=releases

Great article!

I'm not sure how to display the tab for only certain usergroups though. Do I use regular template conditionals? Or a PHP conditional? And where do I put it?

Thanks.

If I set up a tab to show some custom profile fields, is there a way to let each user define who can see the information on that tab (i.e. Everyone, Registered Users, Contacts, Friends)?

The "profile.php?do=privacy" page uses the modifyprofileprivacy template. Within it the actual list of items is contained within the $profileprivacybits variable.

A hook needs to be within a particular function to enable privacy settings for custom tabs. Looks like it was already requested in January:

Looks like privacy settings for categories worked in 3.8.0, but was broken in 3.8.1, and fixed in 3.8.2. Here's hoping they did a similar fix for custom blocks in total in 3.8.2 (gotta remember to download it lol).

NOTE: I'm creating a new mode for Shelfari called "My Shelfari Bookshelf". I reserve this idea, so please don't steal my idea ;)

Having a hard time applying this for a new tab called "Shelfari" (shelfari.com)

The template is:

memberinfo_block_shelfari

Code:

<div class="alt1 block_row">

    <ul class="list_no_decoration">

        $block_data[shelfari]

    </ul>

</div>

The plugin is:

Code:

$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(

    'mymodification' => array(

        'class' => 'Shelfari',

        'title' => 'My Shelfari Bookshelf',

        'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'

    )

));



class vB_ProfileBlock_Shelfari extends vB_ProfileBlock

{

    var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_shelfari';



    function confirm_empty_wrap()

    {

        return false;

    }



    function confirm_display()

    {

        return ($this->block_data['shelfari'] != '');

    }



    function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

    {

        $this->block_data['shelfari'] = '<embed width="500" height="500" src="http://www.shelfari.com/ws/shelf.swf" wmode="transparent" FlashVars="UserName=chadi&ShelfType=list&verE=s1.5&ListType=isowned&booksize=large&Alpha=0&BGColor=FFFFFF"></embed>';

    }

}

Note, "chadi" in that Shelfari embed code I pasted at the end of the plugin is my actual Shelfari username. However, I created a user profile field called "My Shelfari Bookshelf", which is field44.

I tried replacing chadi with $userinfo[field44] and it did not pull correctly.

What is the actual proper replacement code to pull whatever content from the user's field44 profile field to replace my actual username?

Can some also please explain how to properly create a plugin file for this, so I can share it as a mod?

Try $this->profile->userinfo['field44']

04-24-2009 03:02 AM

Thanks, but the tab doesn't show up now.

Code:

$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(

    'mymodification' => array(

        'class' => 'Shelfari',

        'title' => 'My Shelfari Bookshelf',

        'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'

    )

));



class vB_ProfileBlock_Shelfari extends vB_ProfileBlock

{

    var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_shelfari';



    function confirm_empty_wrap()

    {

        return false;

    }



    function confirm_display()

    {

        return ($this->block_data['shelfari'] != '');

    }



    function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

    {

        $this->block_data['shelfari'] = '<embed width="700" height="700" src="http://www.shelfari.com/ws/shelf.swf" wmode="transparent" FlashVars="UserName=$this->profile->userinfo['field44']&ShelfType=list&verE=s1.5&ListType=isowned&booksize=large&AmazonAssociate=taljes-20&Alpha=0&BGColor=FFFFFF"></embed>';

    }

}

Lynne

04-24-2009 03:08 AM

Try assigning it to a variable and then use the variable in that line of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$var = $this->profile->userinfo['field44'];
   $this->block_data['shelfari'] = '..... UserName=' . $var . '&Shel....';

Something like that. You'll probably have to play with it a bit.

Chadi

04-24-2009 03:15 AM

Sorry, but I really don't know what you're telling me here. I'm not a coder :)

Can you give me a hint by pasting what the entire plugin code should look like? It'll be easier for me to dissect it carefully from there.

--------------- Added [DATE]1240546636[/DATE] at [TIME]1240546636[/TIME] ---------------

Ok, I tried this:

Code:

$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(

    'mymodification' => array(

        'class' => 'Shelfari',

        'title' => 'My Shelfari Bookshelf',

        'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'

    )

));



class vB_ProfileBlock_Shelfari extends vB_ProfileBlock

{

    var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_shelfari';



    function confirm_empty_wrap()

    {

        return false;

    }



    function confirm_display()

    {

        return ($this->block_data['shelfari'] != '');

    }



    function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

    {

$var = $this->profile->userinfo['field44'];

        $this->block_data['shelfari'] = '<embed width="700" height="700" src="http://www.shelfari.com/ws/shelf.swf" wmode="transparent" FlashVars="UserName' . $var . '&ShelfType=list&verE=s1.5&ListType=isowned&booksize=large&AmazonAssociate=taljes-20&Alpha=0&BGColor=FFFFFF"></embed>';

    }

}

now, the output works except one more problem:

The actual widget is giving an error stating that a username was not provided and must be provided.

--------------- Added [DATE]1240547063[/DATE] at [TIME]1240547063[/TIME] ---------------

Fixed. I had to had the = after UserName.

Thanks Lynne.

One quick question, I'd like to make an xml plugin file so people can install this as a product. Could I trouble you to explain how this can be done?

Looks like you already figured that out since I saw you released your mod. :)

Chadi

04-24-2009 02:33 PM

Yes, and gave you and Wired1 credit for the help.

Thank you Lynne, appreciate it.

PS: would you like me to make you co-author of the mod? I'm honestly not sure how these things work on the forums. I've only started releasing mods a couple days ago. I'm not even a programmer.

No, no. I am here just to help out. I really don't know what the co-author thing is for, but just giving you a couple pointers doesn't make me a co-author. You did all the hard work.

Okay, I've installed this properly, and I need a somewhat specific request:

Sorry, I really don't know a lot about using variables...

If you want to know how to pull HTML from a template rather than writing the HTML in the plugin take a look at what I've wrote.

PHP Code:


		
			
function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

{

    global $vbulletin, $db;       



    $query = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "mkwtracktimes WHERE userid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."'");

    while($mkw = $db->fetch_array($query))

    {

        eval('$data .= "' . fetch_template('mkw_profilebit') . '";');

    }



    $this->block_data['mkwttrecords'] = $data;

}

harmor19

05-08-2009 01:35 PM

I'm not sure as I haven't tried but the code below might work if you don't want to loop data.

PHP Code:


		
			
eval($this->block_data['mkwttrecords'] .' .= "' . fetch_template('mkw_profilebit') . '";');

I'm trying to get this information to show but for some reason it keeps bringing errors. Any ideas?

Currently my plugin is the default:

PHP Code:


		
			
$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(
    'mymodification' => array(
        'class' => 'MyModification',
        'title' => 'My Teams',
        'hook_location' => 'profile_right_last'
    )
));

class vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification extends vB_ProfileBlock
{
    var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_mymodification';

    function confirm_empty_wrap()
    {
        return false;
    }

    function confirm_display()
    {
        return ($this->block_data['mymodification'] != '');
    }

    function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
    {
        $this->block_data['mymodification'] ='Coming Soon';

    }


}

And i'm trying to get the following code in:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="!empty($post[nbateam])">
                <div>
                    $vbphrase[my_nbateam]: <img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/nba/$post[nbateam].gif" border="0" />
                </div>
                </if>

I put the new code in the 'coming soon' section and all it showed in the new tab was the text $vbphrase[my_nbateam]:
It did not show the image whatsoever.

--------------- Added [DATE]1246493739[/DATE] at [TIME]1246493739[/TIME] ---------------

I've been toying around with every single combination of codes and it keeps only bringing up the text of the coding or error message.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

With the hook locations we can specify relative positions (eg: first on the left, last on the right, etc.) but is it possible to specify a specific location, as in the second position from the left?

Thanks :)

Lynne

08-26-2009 10:47 PM

No, not with default vbulletin. You may modify the template and add another template_hook to use in the location you want. (I think there is even an article on how to do this.)

just thought I would share with the people who are looking for help.

my vB version is 3.8.1

I needed to query a table I created myself to display all the tutorials of that specific user.
here is the code I used and it works like a charm

Code:

function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

        {

            $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE approved = 1 AND user_id=".$this->profile->userinfo[userid]."");

            $test = "<ul>";

            while($result = mysql_fetch_array($sql))

            {

                $test .= "<li> <img src='http://cmstutorials.org/".$result['tutorial_thumb']."' width='50' height='50' alt='' /> 

                            <a href='http://cmstutorials.org/tutorial/".$result['tutorial_id']."' target='_blank'>".$result['title']."</a></li>

                        ";

            }

            $test .= "</ul>";

            $this->block_data['mymodification'] = $test;

    }

Thanks for the info. :) For now I'll go with the relative positions since one of our goals with the project is to make it as template edit free as possible for the site admin'.

Is tutorial_thumb a column in one of you sql tables? I'm trying to do something similar but it's really kicking my butt.

I have a form users submit their resume's on. It saves it to the database in the table formresults. The information I want to display on the profile is located in a column labeled output in the formresults table.

Below is the code I'm using in the member_build_blocks_start hook location.

Code:

$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(

    'resume' => array(

        'class' => 'Resume',

        'title' => 'Resume',

        'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'

    )

));



class vB_ProfileBlock_resume extends vB_ProfileBlock

{

  var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_resume';

  function confirm_empty_wrap()

  {

    return false;

  }

  function confirm_display()

  {

    return ($this->block_data['resume'] != '');

  }

        function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())

{

        global $db;

        $sql= $db->query_read("SELECT output FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "formresults WHERE userid = '.$this->profile->userinfo[userid].' AND title = 'Resume' ");

            $test = "<div>";

            while($result = mysql_fetch_array($sql))

            {

                $test .= "'.$result['output'].'"

                        ";

            }

            $test .= "</div>";





    $this->block_data['resume'] = $test;

  }

}

I think the code in bolded red is the part I'm getting lost on?

I get this error when displaying the memberinfo profile page.

I see what you're talking about, thanks for that. While there was some syntax error there, unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. I changed it to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
                $test .= " .$result['output']. ";

I'm still getting the same error though:

I thought maybe I was just calling the column in the table contained in the array incorrectly, which gave me the error, but you didn't mention that, so can I assume that if the column in the table is called output that this would be the correct way to retrieve that data?

$result['output']

shouldn;'t it just be :

Thank you, that got rid of the annoying error. I really could've sworn I had tried that before but apparently not. :confused:

The Resume tab shows up now, unfortunately there is still no data in it. Could it be the type of data that's in there (a mixture of html and php variables) causing it to not show up?

--------------- Added [DATE]1262744048[/DATE] at [TIME]1262744048[/TIME] ---------------

Hmmm... I guess not. I changed the data in there to be just the string "This is only a test" and still nothing shows up. :confused:

HOLY CRAP! I'm almost there! I've been working on this for like a week and I was almost ready to give up but now I'm ALMOST THERE! :D :D :D

The problem was the SQL query was returning no results because apparently this line of code doesn't work the way I thought it did.

PHP Code:


		
			
.$this->profile->userinfo[userid].

I changed that to my userid and it worked! Now I just need to figure out the right way to call for the user profile id! :D Thanks everyone!
