Register existing template

[Alteczen]

I'm using the "add a tab" mod as a plugin from here. It adds an additional tab to the member profile area.

Using that I have a custom template called 'custom_profile_tab_dashboard'. I want to render the memberinfo_block_friends template inside this custom template.

I've tried multiple variations with no luck on the hook member_complete. I'm basically trying to move the sidebar blocks on the member profile page into this custom template. I've tried modifying the above mod to include:

$templater->register('blocklist',  $blocklist);
$templater->register('memberinfo',  $memberinfo);
$templater->register('prepared',  $prepared);
$templater->register('userinfo',  $userinfo);
$templater->register('member',  $member);

I couldn't get that to do anything though... Any advise on direction would be phenominal.

I'm hoping to use the existing templates to render the content - just in a different place. I'm hoping I wouldn't have to build a query to get friends based on a userid - pass them into a variable - just to reuse that template..???
