Side Blocks

[Mastar]

How can I get in the sideblock using something like:

PHP Code:

{vb:raw post.username} 


Actually I would like to get the forum leaders avatar, username and a profile field to appear in the sideblock!

You would need to write a php block and put in the code to output what you want.

Do you know where can I find a sample or something I can reference from?

There are a few blocks modifications in the mods forums. So, go download a couple of those and check out the code.

I've searched but didn't locate any, can you point me to one plz!

[Lynne]

I know how to add the content in the sideblocks but I don't know how to get the vbulletin var to get the content there, if I just put {vb:raw post.username} to show the person's username it show just {vb:raw post.username} it doesn't render the actual username.

First off, you need to define the variable $post to use it in the block.

But, besides that, variables are not html. You would need to create a PHP block to output a variable and there is an example there on how to do output in a php block:

$my_output = 'Hello, world.';
return $my_output;

An example using a variable:

$my_output = '<p>Hello '. vB::$vbulletin->userinfo[username].'</p>';
return $my_output;

Do I need to put anything for the template used?

I tried that code and even the sample code that is there in the ACP, nothing in the template used area and the block didn't appear!

Thanks!

You need a template for it to use. Just leave that as default block_html
