Profile Enhancements - Blog block instead of tab in user profile

Blog block instead of tab in user profile

• Changes the look, and position if preferred of the blog tab in the user profile.

Demo: http://www.letsgather.net/members/taragon.html

----------------------------
blog_entry_profile

REPLACE all with:
----------------------------

<div class="alt1">
	<div class="smallfont" align="left"><a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]b=$blog[blogid]">$blog[title]</a> <span class="shade"><phrase 1="$blog[date]" 2="$blog[time]">$vbphrase[posted_date_at_time]</phrase></span></div>
</div>

----------------------------
blog_member_block

REPLACE all with:
----------------------------

<if condition="$block_data['latestentries']">
	<div class="alt1 block_row">
		$block_data[latestentries]
	</div>
</if>
<div class="<if condition="$block_data['latestentries']">alt2<else />alt1</if> smallfont block_row block_footer">
	<a href="blog.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$prepared[userid]"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[view_xs_blog]</phrase></a>
</div>

----------------------------
MEMBERINFO

FIND:
----------------------------

$template_hook[profile_left_last]

----------------------------
CUT and paste after:
----------------------------

$blocks[groups]

----------------------------
Done!

Please keep in mind also some other mods are using the $template_hook[profile_left_last] hook.

By moving the position of this, also all other mods/tabs will reposition this same way. I currently haven?t found a working solution for this yet.

All the best,

Cor

A few questions since your reply doesn't show what might be wrong.

1. Have you installed vBulletin Blog?
2. Do you have the 'normal' blog tab working? (the blog simply replaces the tab, nothing more)
3. Do you actually have a blog entry made?

Taragon have you released code on how to make your profile page the way you have it! I love it without those pesky tabs!

[Boosted Panda]

btw I got this to work.

Do everything as said but it is:
$blocks[blog] and you have to remove the template start and end locations.

[Konstantinos]

can u share your entire memberinfo template ?

[Boosted Panda]

I edited my memberinfo the same way. Ill post it soon.

[Blackhat]

is there a way to get the recipe for your complete memberinfo page ?

[Taragon]

I'll release it soon. I just have to find a bit of spare time somewhere

That would be something to add in the description; that it's only for that paid add-on.

I know it's been a while for this thread but I have used this on 3.8 with no issues but just have one question. I still have the blog tab and I would like to just have the blog block on the right with no blog tab. What do I need to do to remove the tab? Thanks in advance!
