Only my second released mod, tested and working with vBulletin 3.6.0, 3.6.1. and 3.6.2

Thanks to +buG (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=14810) and Ev!L ErN!E (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=130960) for their input / suggestions.

This template mod will allow you to add your users Xfire ID as a link, on their forum posts. This link, when clicked on, will add that user to his/her Friends list!


http://www.nc-ownage.co.uk/image1.jpg


Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field

Choose "Single Line Text Box"

Title: XFire Username
Display Order: (you choose!)
Field Required: (you choose!)
Field Editable by User: (you choose!)
Private Field: NO
Field Searchable on Members List: Yes
Show on Members List: (you choose!)
Display Page: Edit Profile

[SAVE]


NOTE:
You must now make a note of the field ID for your Xfire input. You can check what field ID is assigned by going to:

Admin CP -> User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager

and looking at what ID is next to "XFire Username"

For my instructions, i am going to use '99' as my Field ID, and you should change the number to suit what YOUR field ID is!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADDING XFIRE ID AS TEXT LINK:

Go to AdminCP
Go to "Style Manager"
Go to "Edit Templates" for your theme.
Scroll down until you get to "Postbit Templates"
Open up either Postbit or Postbit Legacy (depending on what you use!)

Find in this template:

<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>

and below it, add:

<if condition="$post['field99']"><div>XFire: <a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[field99]">$post[field99]</a></div></if>

Save.

REMEMBER!! CHANGE THE ['field99'] AND [field99] to whatever field ID you have, i.e ['field6'] / [field6] or ['field9'] / [field9] !!

Field99 should reflect the actual field# instead of the display order, shouldn't it?

yes. that is correct. I have just noticed my mistake in the instructions, and appologise!!!

Whatever "Display Order" you chose when u add a "User Profile Field", makes NO diference!!

Instructions on install have been amended accordingly.

Thanks you +buG for pointing that out!

I have updated the install instructions to accomodate for using an image instead of the persons xfire id.

Please refer to the part:

Works great, I just had to add the border="0" line to the code so the image wouldn't have a border around it:

<if condition="$post['field99']"><div><a href="xfire:add_friend?user=$post[field99]"><img src="putyourimagehere.gif" border="0"></a></div></if>

Also this would be great if it was placed next to the other messanger icons, or even added as a field for messanger profiles, like Yahoo, MSN and AIM, could you create this as a mod for that as well?

Also I'm using 3.6.2 and its working fine...

Thanks Ev!L ErN!E, updated the instructions.

As for the mod you talk about... you read my mind! I'm already working on it :)
