Please find attached first version of vBFOAF - an exporter of user profiles to FOAF format.

Note that a user's buddies will become publicly viewable after installing this mod, so it is advisable to notify users of a policy change on your bulletin board.

I haven't modified any vB files, but you will have to create a custom profile field called "Real Name".

Opinions etc. here - for more information on FOAF, visit www.foaf-project.org.

Following comments I will release an updated version.

Directions:


Copy the attached file into your vbulletin directory
Call with the parameter u=1 for the userid, e.g. http://www.vbulletin.ie/forums/foaf.php?u=1

Cloud-Warrior, can you elaborate a bit more on what happens when the script is actually called? For instance, I presume this is exporting data out to something, and there are no changes to the vBulletin system?

I updated the script for 3.6.8

@silurius
there are no changes to vBulletin's system - the script just exports a user's data to RDF/XML and uses the FOAF vocabulary.
