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

And I followed that to no avail. Perhaps you left out some information?

It is very hard to troubleshoot something when you have not posted a single line of code that you are using. If you want help, post your *exact* code (in code tags), with the hook location, and any other needed information.

Sorry for that.


Hook Location: member_complete

PHP Code:
// ###################### TAB DATA ######################
if (isset($vbulletin->GPC['tab']))
{
    
$selected_tab $vbulletin->GPC['tab'];
}
$blockinfo['title'] = 'Battle Statistics';
$blockid 'bbebs_stats';
$taburl $memberurl fetch_seo_url('member'$prepared) . "&amp;tab=bbebs_stats#bbebs_stats";

$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();

// ###################### MAIN SCRIPT ######################
if ($selected_tab == 'bbebs_stats')
{
    
// Irrelevant code goes here

    
$templater vB_Template::create('bbebs_memberinfo_data');
        
$templater->register('selected_tab'$selected_tab);
        
$templater->register('prepared'$prepared);
        
$templater->register('user'$user);
        
$templater->register('stats_bits'$stats_bits);
    
$template_hook['profile_tabs'] .= $templater->render();
}
?> 
It's not exactly like cellarius's, of course. Because his example fails to include any PHP code to render the actual data. The tabs worked perfectly with his code, though.

Template: bbebs_memberinfo_data

HTML Code:
<div id="view-bbebs_stats-content" class="<vb:if condition="$selected_tab == 'bbebs_stats'">selected_view_section<vb:else />view_section</vb:if>">
	<div class="blockbody">
		<!-- Irrelevant Code -->
	</div>
</div>

Boy oh boy. I really do miss the times when people were asking clear questions and giving relevant information and not whining and complaining all the time! Honestly, what's the matter with you?

What exactly is the problem you're having? Can you put it in one or more sentences so a person not deterred by your attitude could understand what exactly does not work for you?

In what box? What do you expect to be shown?

The code you posted works perfectly fine in vB4.1.4. It creates the tab, as it should, and the tab is accessible from within the profile and it can be directly accessed by url. See screenshot - the URL entered takes me directly to the tab.



Whatever you want to show in the tab is not covered in this tutorial, and you snipped every code out that would be relevant for showing anything in whatever box as "Irrelevant".

The irrelevant code can be anything. An echo construct. Anything. It does not show. I'm sorry that you feel that my information is not clear enough, but I am not sure how much more clear I can be.

The box that the tab shows when clicked does not display anything unless accessed directly via the link. Clicking on the tab does not show anything.
