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']

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>';
    }
}

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 · #96 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 · #98 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:

-- Search for all threads started by user, in forumID 12 and all child boards -- [USERNAME]'s Posted Content -- End Link --

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;

}
