If you are using anything above vB4.0.8 then refer to cellarius' updated article.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2214470

I haven't seen a tutorial on doing this and I had to do it for a mod of mine, so I figured I would share. It is actually quite a bit easier to do in vb4 then it was before.

You will need 4 templates and 2 plugins. You could reduce it down to 2 templates but mine is used for distribution so I have to account for all versions.

First Template: This will create the tab next to About Me, Friends, etc

(my_data_tab)
Quote:
<dd<vb:if condition="$selected_tab == 'test'"> class="selected"</vb:if>><a id="test-tab" href="{vb:raw relpath}#test" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">Test</a></dd>
Where the text is red you can either leave it or replace it with your own reference. Just make sure it is the same throughout.

Second Template: The data you want to show.

(my_data_data)
Quote:
<div id="view-test" class="<vb:if condition="$selected_tab == 'test'">selected_view_section<vb:else />view_section</vb:if>">
<div class="blockbody">
<div class="blockrow">
<ul class="friends_list floatcontainer">
{vb:raw new_user_data}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Same thing here, change the text in red to match the previous template.

Third Template: This will create the tab next to About Me, Friends, etc (4.0.8+)

(my_data_tab_408)
Quote:
<style>
#test'-tab, #test'-tab a:hover {height:25px; display:inline; background-color:transparent; margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align:center; border:none;}
a:hover#test'-tab {background:transparent;}
</style>

<dd<vb:if condition="$selected_tab == 'test''"> class="userprof_module" <vb:else /> class="userprof_moduleinactive"</vb:if>><a id="test'-tab" href="{vb:raw relpath}?tab=test'#test'-content" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">Test</a></dd>
Where the text is red you can either leave it or replace it with your own reference. Just make sure it is the same throughout.

Fourth Template: The data you want to show (4.0.8+).

(my_data_data_408)
Quote:
<div id="view-test'-content" class="<vb:if condition="$selected_tab == 'test''">selected_view_section<vb:else />view_section</vb:if>">
<div class="blockbody">
<div class="blockrow">
<ul class="friends_list floatcontainer">
{vb:raw new_user_data}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Same thing here, change the text in red to match the previous template.



Now the first plugin
Hook Location: member_build_blocks_start
Title: Whatever you want to call it
Plugin Code
PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->versionnumber < "4.0.8")
{
$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_tab');
} else {
$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_tab_408');
}

$templater->register('selected_tab', $selected_tab);
$templater->register('relpath', $relpath);

if ($vbulletin->versionnumber < "4.0.2")
{
$template_hook['profile_left_last'] .= $templater->render();
} else {
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= $templater->render();
}


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


if ($vbulletin->versionnumber < "4.0.8")
{
$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_data');
} else {
$templater = vB_Template::create('my_data_data_408');
}

$templater->register('selected_tab', $selected_tab);
$templater->register('new_user_data', $new_user_data);

    if ($vbulletin->versionnumber < "4.0.2")
    {
$template_hook['profile_left'] .= $templater->render();
    } else {
$template_hook['profile_tabs'] .= $templater->render();
    } 
Second plugin
Hook Location: cache_templates
Title: Whatever you want to call it
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'member')
{
    if ($vbulletin->versionnumber < "4.0.8")
    {
    $cache[] = 'my_data_tab';
    $cache[] = 'my_data_data';
    } else {
    $cache[] = 'my_data_tab_408';
    $cache[] = 'my_data_data_408';
    }
} 
And the result

The two 408 templates have an error in the code, there's an extra single quote (') after the word "test" in the conditionals. You'll get an error if you try to save the templates without fixing it. Once fixed it worked great on my 4.0.8.

Edit- Actually there's quite a few extra single quotes in 408 data tab as well breaking the style, it seems there's an extra single quote after each red test in the code. Once they are all removed it works well.

I have a problem with my profile tab, when loading it it's displaying it like in the picture about the red line. When I click the "button" then it turns right into the correct color and format (below red line)



Does anyone know what could cause that?

Yep, the profile tabs template has changed a little in previous versions.

I would advise not to create a specific template for your tab - template nr. 1 (my_data_tab) in the tutorial is actually unnecessary. I call the standard memberinfo_tab instead and prefill the necessary variables. Saves you one template. PHP for this looks like that:

PHP Code:
if (isset($vbulletin->GPC['tab']))
{
    $selected_tab = $vbulletin->GPC['tab'];
}
$blockinfo['title'] = "Test Title";
$blockid = "test";
$taburl = $memberurl = fetch_seo_url('member', $prepared) . "&amp;tab=test#test";

$templater = vB_Template::create('memberinfo_tab');
$templater->register('selected_tab', $selected_tab);
$templater->register('relpath', $relpath);
$templater->register('blockinfo', $blockinfo);
$templater->register('blockid', $blockid);
$templater->register('taburl', $taburl);
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= $templater->render(); 
Also, the hook where the plugin needs to reside is member_complete, not member_build_blocks_start. Else the direct link to the tab by URL (member.php?123-testuser&tab=test#test) will not work properly.

I can't get this to work. I used the above's PHP code for the plugin and the my_data_data_408 for the template.

The tab shows up fine but when I click it nothing is shown in the box.

Really need some help with this. It's driving me nuts that vB still hasn't a decent article on these member profile tabs.

I'm sure that this childish behaviour is going to get you LOTS of help.

I already tried mature and exasperated behavior to no avail. Didn't have much hope for childish, but it did lift my spirits a bit which is always a plus.

Anyway, this thread is really outdated or just full of bad code. I've managed to clean it up a little but still can not get the tab to show via its AJAX call. Going to the tab via direct link shows up fine. It's weird. Has anybody got this working yet? I'd assume so.
