"My Links" in Navbar

This gets asked periodically, but so far, I don't think anyone has attempted it yet. Can anyone make this work for vB 3.6? I know my attempts have failed, but my knowledge is limited.

The problem, I believe, stems from the fact this code...

PHP Code:

if (!empty($bbuserinfo['fieldX'])) 
    { 
    require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php'); 
    $mylinks = parse_bbcode2($bbuserinfo['fieldX'], 0, 0, 0, 1); 
    $mylinks = str_replace('<br />', '', $mylinks); 
    $mylinks = str_replace('</a>', '</a></td></tr>', $mylinks); 
    $mylinks = str_replace('<a', '<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a', $mylinks);     
    } 


... was to be placed in the include_start template. But now that is handled by the global_start hook.

I tried putting this in global_start, but I don't really know what I'm doing. We've been using the old code on 3.0 for years now, and I know it will be missed if I can't make it work on the upgrade. If anyone can address this and it would be greatly appreciated.
