Profile Enhancements - Blog block instead of tab in user profile

Blog block instead of tab in user profile

• Changes the look, and position if preferred of the blog tab in the user profile.

Demo: http://www.letsgather.net/members/taragon.html

----------------------------
blog_entry_profile

REPLACE all with:
----------------------------

<div class="alt1">
	<div class="smallfont" align="left"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]b=$blog[blogid]">$blog[title]</a> <span class="shade"><phrase 1="$blog[date]" 2="$blog[time]">$vbphrase[posted_date_at_time]</phrase></span></div>
</div>

----------------------------
blog_member_block

REPLACE all with:
----------------------------

<if condition="$block_data['latestentries']">
	<div class="alt1 block_row">
		$block_data[latestentries]
	</div>
</if>
<div class="<if condition="$block_data['latestentries']">alt2<else />alt1</if> smallfont block_row block_footer">
	<a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$prepared[userid]"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[view_xs_blog]</phrase></a>
</div>

----------------------------
MEMBERINFO

FIND:
----------------------------

$template_hook[profile_left_last]

----------------------------
CUT and paste after:
----------------------------

$blocks[groups]

----------------------------
Done!

Please keep in mind also some other mods are using the $template_hook[profile_left_last] hook.

By moving the position of this, also all other mods/tabs will reposition this same way. I currently haven?t found a working solution for this yet.

All the best,

How would I get the recent blogs list for each user to show on their profile page? I have been trying to do this on 3.6 for such a long time. I want like the last 5 blogs to show on each users profile page and then a button to view all the rest of their blogs...

Have any ideas???

I do have a Blog feature installed and I have some entries posted in my blog.

Any hint?

I have the blog product as well and no blog block or tab showing in user profile - running vB 3.7 RC 2

I had this problem too, you need to apply 2 fixes.

1.
Go into the Admin CP

Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager ->

Admin: Process Featured Blog Entry admin_options_processing [Edit]

Change Code:

 if (version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.7.0 Alpha 1', '>='))

to Code:

 if (defined('YUI_VERSION'))

Member Profile (3.7): Add Blog Tab member_build_blocks_start [Edit]

Replace the contents with: Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_profileblock_blog.php');
$blocklist['blog'] = array(
    'class' => 'Blog',
    'title' => $vbphrase['blog'],
);
eval('$template_hook[\'memberinfo_css\'] .= "' . fetch_template('blog_member_css') . '";');

Member Profile: Add Blog Links to standard MEMBERINFO display member_complete [Edit]

Change Code:

if (version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.7.0 Alpha 1', '<') AND $userinfo['bloguserid'])

to Code:

 if (!defined('YUI_VERSION') AND $userinfo['bloguserid'])

Member Profile: Inform member.php of blogs and new templates init_startup [Edit]

Change Code:

 if (version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.7.0 Alpha 1', '>='))

to Code:

 if (defined('YUI_VERSION'))

2.
Open includes/blog_init.php and go down to the bottom.

Replace
PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if (version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.7.0 Alpha 1', '>=')) 


with

PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if (defined('YUI_VERSION')) 


Hope this will solve your problem

Hi tmiland,

I have implemented those suggestions, still nothing displayed. I am running vB 3.7 RC 2

[corazorback]

Will this work with 3.6.8?

I am trying to get latest blogs on the members profiles of their latest blogs. Sort of how MySpace does it...

Any suggestions
