Hook for custom block in UserCP

[Christos Teriakis]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a custom block with menu options in usercp, but I can't find the right hook name to show it as seperate block (if possible first, or under PMs). The only that I succeeded to do, as you can see in the attached screenshot, is to add it at the bottom of the block My Setting.

Thank you
C.T

Try this and place it accordingly in your USERCP_SHELL template.

<div class="block">
<h2 class="blockhead">Your Custom Block title</h2>
<div class="blockbody">
{vb:raw template_hook.usercp_navbar_miscellaneous}</div>
</div>

You can also replace the variable hook with your own code. Just remember to add the appropriate class to the <ul> and <li>.

Thank you for your time to reply, but this is something that I already did as you can see in the screenshot. The problem is that as this is part of custom mod, I want to place it automatically without asking the enduser to edit any template.

Ahh I get cha. Well you can always register your menu content as a variable then parse it in that hook I mentioned, but that would not solve where it is actually placed. To move the hook you need something else, or create your own hook. Sorry I couldn't be much help. :erm:

P.S.: If you find documentation on how to create your own hook please share

1. Open Template USERCP_SHELL and choose any hook which u want.

for ex:

usercp_navbar_myaccount

2. Create New Plugin

Plugin Hook: usercp_nav_complete
Title: Ur wish

Code

$template_hook['usercp_navbar_myaccount'] .= vB_Template::create('mytemplate')->render();

where mytemplate is name of ur template.


and save the plugin. (don't forget to select yes)

Thank you for answering but this is something that I already did, but is not what I want. All the hooks in the template USERCP_SHELL are reffering to add data within the "My Settings" block, while I want a seperate block. My current plugin is:

<plugin active="1" executionorder="40">
<title>Classifieds: User CP Navbar Link</title>
<hookname>usercp_nav_complete</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[
$template_hook['usercp_navbar_bottom'] .= vB_Template::create('microclassifieds_usercp_links')->render();
]]></phpcode>
</plugin>

This add my block at the end of My Settings. I know that by changing the hook name I can move it up, but still will be inside My Settings block.
