Let’s improve our LinkedIn mod, created in previous article. We will add LinkedIn column to the Members page. As you can see you can sort members list by fields like MSN, AIM, ICQ, but our mod won’t do this. We’ll just add a column with the link to LinkedIn.com profile of each user.

As you remember we define all changes, which our mod makes in modification.xml file.

Let’s add some new lines.

Memebers list template is in Memberslist.template.php

<file name=”$themedir/Memberlist.template.php”>
<!– A seach operation, with search rules and code to modify the file with. –>
<operation>
<!– Search for column which displays user’s icq –>
<search position=”after”><![CDATA[<td class=”windowbg2″>’, $member[’icq’][’link’], ‘</td>]]></search>
<!– And add our column with LinkedIn icon –>
<add>
<![CDATA[
<td class=”windowbg2″>’;
if (!empty($member[’options’][’linkedin’])) echo ‘<a href=”http://www.linkedin.com/’, $member[’options’][’linkedin’], ‘” target=”_blank”><img border=”0″ src=”‘ . $settings[’images_url’] . ‘/linkedin.gif”></a>’;
echo ‘</td>’;
echo ‘]]></add>

<search position=”before”><![CDATA[foreach ($context[’members’] as $member)]]></search>
<!– Add this text when we find it. Note that it’s on it’s own line on purpose, and the CDATA keeps things clean. –>

<!– now search for the place where we display table columns titles (header of the table) –>
<search position=”before”><![CDATA[// We’re not able (through the template) to sort the search results right now…]]></search>
<!– If it’s ICQ column header then we add before it our cell with LinkedIn text –>
<add>
<![CDATA[
if (strpos($column[’href’],”sort=ICQ”)) {
echo ‘<td style=”width: auto;”>LinkedIn</td>’;
}
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>

<!– Now our table is one column wider as it was, so we need to fix colspan for cells which output Pages and search letters (was 12 now 13) –>

OK, our mod is ready. Just pack all files in archive (I prefer tar.gz) and install through your SMF Admin interface.
