I happen to want to experience some features of vBulletin. I tried to recreate a box in the personal profile. In short add a box like the ones in the picture below.



To add an additional block go to AdminCP> Styles and Templates> Search in Templates and search for models MEMBERINFO. Once we found double-click on the mouse to change it.
Inside there is the code. To find this

Code:
<div id="sidebar_container">
    <!-- sidebar -->
    $template_hook[profile_right_first]
    $blocks[stats_mini]
    $template_hook[profile_right_mini]
    $blocks[friends_mini]
    $blocks[albums]
    $template_hook[profile_right_album]
    $blocks[groups]
    $blocks[visitors]
    $template_hook[profile_right_last]
    <!-- / sidebar -->
</div>
To add a new block is needed this code

Code:
<!--new block-->
<!-- $id -->
<div id="$id" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="$id"></a>
        <span class="block_name">BLOCK TITLE</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<p align="center">
CONTENT
</p>
</div></div>
</div>
<!-- / $id -->
<!--new block-->
You should get something like this

Code:
<div id="sidebar_container">
    <!-- sidebar -->
    $template_hook[profile_right_first]
    $blocks[stats_mini]
<!--new block-->
<!-- $id -->
<div id="$id" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="$id"></a>
        <span class="block_name">BLOCK TITLE</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<p align="center">
CONTENT
</p>
</div></div>
</div>
<!-- / $id -->
<!--new block-->
    $template_hook[profile_right_mini]
    $blocks[friends_mini]
    $blocks[albums]
    $template_hook[profile_right_album]
    $blocks[groups]
    $blocks[visitors]
    $template_hook[profile_right_last]
    <!-- / sidebar -->
</div>
In this way you will have a result like this:




PS: Sorry for my English

Great article. I used it to create a block for member's playlist link.

My question is how do I code the block to not show if there is no content? I was thinking I have to warp your block code in some conditional statement to hide the block if it is empty.

How can I achieve this?

THANKS!

Here is my block code: (playlist code is red)

Code:
 
<!--new block-->
<!-- $id -->
<div id="$id" class="tborder content_block">
    <h4 class="thead block_title">
        <a href="#top" class="collapse_gadget" onclick="return toggle_collapse('$id')"><img id="collapseimg_$id" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_generic{$vbcollapse['collapseimg_'.$id]}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
        <a name="$id"></a>
        <span class="block_name">My Playlist</span>
    </h4>
    <div class="block_content" id="collapseobj_$id" style="{$vbcollapse['collapseobj_'.$id]}"><div class="alt1 smallfont block_row block_footer">
<if condition="$userinfo['fieldXX']">
<div id="simple_aboutme_link"><a class="smallfont" href="#" onclick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/playlist.php?$session[sessionurl]userid=$prepared[userid]','playlist','status=1,width=450,height=344'); return false;"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[listen_to_xs_playlist]</phrase> <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/playlist.png" alt="<phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[listen_to_xs_playlist]</phrase>" border="0" class="inlineimg" /></a></div>
</if>
</div></div>
</div>
<!-- / $id -->
<!--new block-->
