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!

They must have unique names/classnames.

Maybe you took the same?

So I've (mostly) got this working for vB 4.1.1, but there's a few problems:

1: The tab's styling is a little messed up (see picture)

2: The contents of the block appear at the bottom of the screen upon loading the member's profile page.

Other than changing the hook_location value, it's pretty much a copy of this how-to. I've seen a how-to for adding tabs in 4.0.8, but it looks really messy compared to this, so I'd really rather get this working. Anyone have any ideas?


[edit]

So I've got the answer to part 2:
There is a function called wrap() that you have can override. This function takes the html and wraps it in a div, but the class of this div is wrong.
So we need to fix this.
Put this code inside the class declaration for vB_ProfileBlock_MyModification (or whatever you're calling it):
PHP Code:
    function wrap($title, $id='', $html=''){
        $wrap = "<div id=\"view-".$id."\" class=\"view_section\">".$html."</div>";
        return $wrap;
    }

I believe you would need to manually edit the css file /clientscript/vbulletin_tabctrl.css And don't forget that even if you get it to fit on *your* browser, your users will not necessarily have their browser width the same and so the tabs may still be displayed in the dropdown.

How do I make the new tab and it's contents only viewable by Administrators of the forum?

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread.

Try a Search This Article for "is_member_of" because that has probably already been covered.
