What is it?

This mod will allow you to have an extra "module" on user profile pages which will display a xfire status block with a miniprofile link and option to add the user to your contacts list.

Demo?

Display Options

Now although it seems as if this mod may only be displayed on the right hand side as shown in the demo, you may actually change its order or have it displayed in a new tab on the left if required (as there can be some problems with the image sizing when as a block on the right)

All you have to do is this.

1)
Go
Code:
Admin CP > Products & Plugins > Plugin Manager > Xfire Profile Hack2)
Edit the plugin, ensure it is set as a product for "vbulletin", then edit the PHP code to find:

Code:
Code:
'hook_location' => 'profile_right_mini'3)
Now change "profile_right_mini" with any of the following explained options:

Code:
Code:
'profile_left_first' (Will be displayed first in front of "Visitor Messages")
'profile_left_last' (Will be located last in the tabs after "Contact Info")
'profile_right_first' (Will be located first / top on the right)
'profile_right_mini' (Will be located after the mini stats block)
'profile_right_album' (Will be located after the albums block)
'profile_right_last' (Last block on right hand side)4) Done
