If you want to add more tabs to the vB 3.7 profile pages, assuming JavaScript is enabled, or more blocks if JavaScript is off, then this tutorial is for you. If you like to learn in a trial by fire sort of way, create a new template titled memberinfo_block_mymodification with the following content:
Code:
<div class="alt1 block_row">
	<ul class="list_no_decoration">
		$block_data[mymodification]
	</ul>
</div>
Add a new plugin to the member_build_blocks_start hook with the following PHP code:
Code:
$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(
	'mymodification' => array(
		'class' => 'MyModification',
		'title' => 'My Modification',
		'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'
	)
));

class vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification extends vB_ProfileBlock
{
	var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_mymodification';

	function confirm_empty_wrap()
	{
		return false;
	}

	function confirm_display()
	{
		return ($this->block_data['mymodification'] != '');
	}

	function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
	{
		$this->block_data['mymodification'] = 'Content to show in the tab.';
	}
}
Now visit your profile page to test it out. You should see a 'My Modification' tab that when clicked shows you the following text: Content to show in the tab. Exciting huh? Of course you need to add your own custom code for what to display, but this tutorial isn't about that, but rather to show you how to add tabs to the profile pages.

If you want to learn a bit more of the details, first consider this part:
Code:
$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(
	'mymodification' => array(
		'class' => 'MyModification',
		'title' => 'My Modification',
		'hook_location' => 'profile_left_last'
	)
));
The $blocklist variable contains the default blocks. You merge to that another array where the key 'mymodification' references an array which sets a class to use, the title of the tab on the profile page, and the hook location. You can set whatever you want for title including the use of $vbphrase but in the example 'My Modification' is used. As for the hook location, you can use profile_left_first or profile_left_last depending on whether you want your new tab to be left or right of the current tabs, respectively.

Next consider the next part:
Code:
class vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification extends vB_ProfileBlock
{
	var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_mymodification';

	function confirm_empty_wrap()
	{
		return false;
	}

	function confirm_display()
	{
		return ($this->block_data['mymodification'] != '');
	}

	function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
	{
		$this->block_data['mymodification'] = 'Content to show in the tab.';
	}
}
The class needs to be called vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification extends vB_ProfileBlock and note that part of the class name is vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification where MyModification comes from the class value set in your addition to the $blocklist variable. Inside the class, $template_name is set to the template to use, the confirm_empty_wrap function returns false to not create an empty block, the confirm_display function tests whether there is any content to display, and the prepare_output function is where you?d want to add your own custom code to fetch whatever you want to display, setting $this->block_data['mymodification'] to the content you want displayed. Remember variable scope when you add your own code, as you are inside a function that is inside a class.

Now there is the new template itself:
Code:
<div class="alt1 block_row">
	<ul class="list_no_decoration">
		$block_data[mymodification]
	</ul>
</div>
Note that $block_data[mymodification] contains whatever $this->block_data['mymodification'] contains in the prepare_output function inside the class, and because a hook location is set in your addition to the $blocklist variable, there are no manual template edits to make. Hooray! You should of course replace 'mymodification', 'MyModification', and 'My Modification' throughout this tutorial with something meaningful for your modification.

Finally there are other things that can be added to modifications such as options, and these can be seen in the vB class_profileblock.php and member.php files, though this tutorial should get you on your way to adding more content to the profile pages via additional tabs, but remember not to go overboard with queries, because even though you need to click the tab to see the content, whatever queries you run get run on page load, not tab click. Enjoy!

I'm not sure as I haven't tried but the code below might work if you don't want to loop data.

PHP Code:
eval($this->block_data['mkwttrecords'] .' .= "' . fetch_template('mkw_profilebit') . '";');

I'm trying to get this information to show but for some reason it keeps bringing errors. Any ideas?

Currently my plugin is the default:

PHP Code:
$blocklist = array_merge($blocklist, array(
    'mymodification' => array(
        'class' => 'MyModification',
        'title' => 'My Teams',
        'hook_location' => 'profile_right_last'
    )
));

class vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification extends vB_ProfileBlock
{
    var $template_name = 'memberinfo_block_mymodification';

    function confirm_empty_wrap()
    {
        return false;
    }

    function confirm_display()
    {
        return ($this->block_data['mymodification'] != '');
    }

    function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
    {
        $this->block_data['mymodification'] ='Coming Soon';

    }


} 
And i'm trying to get the following code in:
PHP Code:
<if condition="!empty($post[nbateam])">
                <div>
                    $vbphrase[my_nbateam]: <img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/nba/$post[nbateam].gif" border="0" />
                </div>
                </if> 
I put the new code in the 'coming soon' section and all it showed in the new tab was the text $vbphrase[my_nbateam]:
It did not show the image whatsoever.

--------------- Added [DATE]1246493739[/DATE] at [TIME]1246493739[/TIME] ---------------

I've been toying around with every single combination of codes and it keeps only bringing up the text of the coding or error message.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Does this work with VBulletin 3.8.4? I've tried it, but I can't get the tab I'm trying to add to display.

Yes it should work, nothing changed here.

What's the code you're using?

The code in the first two boxes. I believe I've done it all correctly, but it doesn't work.

With the hook locations we can specify relative positions (eg: first on the left, last on the right, etc.) but is it possible to specify a specific location, as in the second position from the left?

Thanks

No, not with default vbulletin. You may modify the template and add another template_hook to use in the location you want. (I think there is even an article on how to do this.)

just thought I would share with the people who are looking for help.

my vB version is 3.8.1

I needed to query a table I created myself to display all the tutorials of that specific user.
here is the code I used and it works like a charm

Code:
function prepare_output($id = '', $options = array())
        {
            $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tutorials WHERE approved = 1 AND user_id=".$this->profile->userinfo[userid]."");
            $test = "<ul>";
            while($result = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
            {
                $test .= "<li> <img src='http://cmstutorials.org/".$result['tutorial_thumb']."' width='50' height='50' alt='' /> 
                            <a href='http://cmstutorials.org/tutorial/".$result['tutorial_id']."' target='_blank'>".$result['title']."</a></li>
                        ";
            }
            $test .= "</ul>";
            $this->block_data['mymodification'] = $test;
    }

Lynne, I missed your response earlier, just saw it now after the newest post.

Thanks for the info. For now I'll go with the relative positions since one of our goals with the project is to make it as template edit free as possible for the site admin'.
