[HOW TO - vB4] Adding a New Tab in Member Profile

[losedude]

How would one add tabs to a custom page instead of profile page?

[Dylanblitz]

I don't remember where I found it but there is a article or mod that shows how to add tabs to a custom page for 3.x that still works for 4.x
I just looked but I couldn't find it this time around, not sure where it's at.

You forgot to mention that you should cache the templates used by making a plugin on the hook cache_templates containing:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'member') {
    $cache[] = 'my_data_tab';
    $cache[] = 'my_data_data';
} 


Pretty good guide otherwise.

Thanks, I didn't think about the cache, I added it

Hey....thanks for the tutorial. Very useful!

Just one question for anyone out there who may know if this is possible. I'm trying to link directly to a tab in the member.php. By default, it will always load up the first tab. I want it to load a specific tab. How would I do this? If it is possible?

Worked it out...

You can move the hook to member_complete and manually set the $selected_tab variable to make it select your custom tab.

Do you know how to load the tab as AJAX like facebook? THanks

Change the first plugin to...

Hook Location: member_complete
Plugin Code - vb4.0.2

PHP Code:

$selected_tab = "test";

$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_tab'); 
$templater->register('selected_tab', $selected_tab); 
$templater->register('relpath', $relpath); 
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= $templater->render(); 


//Do your processing to get your data ready here. 
$new_user_data = "Data for the new tab"; 


$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_data'); 
$templater->register('selected_tab', $selected_tab); 
$templater->register('new_user_data', $new_user_data); 
$template_hook['profile_tabs'] .= $templater->render();
