See this post - >> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....5&postcount=29


** ADDITIONAL CONTENT FILES **

This Post will be used to identify member submitted content files and enhancements as well as additional content files that I release.

Attached to this Post:

**UPDATED** RECENT THREADS 09-01-2008 - tabrecentthreadsexp2.php - This file includes Post ICON Column and the ability to set a specific Thread Title Character cut off amount. The UPDATE includes both database thread marking and cookie based thread marking. Various settings at the top of the file make install/Setup a breeze.

**UPDATED** RECENT THREADs with THUMBNAIL 09-01-2008 - tabthumbs.php - This file is the same as tabrecentthreadsexp2.php with the addition of displaying a thumbnail in place of the post ICON if there is a image attached to the first post. You can see an example of this @ www.veggieblogs.com specifically the RECIPES or Cookbooks Tabs. The UPDATE includes both database thread marking and cookie based thread marking. Various settings at the top of the file make install/Setup a breeze.

NEW vB Blogs 02-07-2008 - tab_blog.php - This content file is for use with vbulletins blog system. It is a BASIC recent blogs layout. The File contains 2 Layout Styles (Wide and Small). Wide is the default. To use small (for skinny Tab Layouts) remark out the 2 Wide Layout Areas and uncomment out the 2 ALT Layout Areas. Both display Title, Name, Data and Views.

NEW vBa Links 02-08-2008 - tab_latestlinks.php & tab_latestlinksexp.php - These 2 files are for displaying data from vba links directory (you must have vba links installed for this to work)

What to make your own?
Here is an example of how I replicate the User CP CMPS Block in a Tab

PHP Code:

<?php

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// #################### DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS #######################
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'tabwelcome'); // change this depending on your filename

// ################### PRE-CACHE TEMPLATES AND DATA ######################

// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array();

// get special data templates from the datastore
$specialtemplates = array();

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array('TEST');

// pre-cache templates used by specific actions
$actiontemplates = array();

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');
//require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php');
require_once('./includes/vba_cmps_global.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_reputation.php');
