[RELEASE v2] Pop-up Buddy List

[MrLister]

Download the instructions below. I added some new features and made it so it fuses nicely with your vB. The reason why it's in a file is because this vB changes all variables into it's own #______.

Nice im using it at
http://www.iguanaland.com

I didnt take much time to mess with it but does it not use styles form the cp? The reason i ask is it comes up vb purple and i have changed all my colors.

Thanks

I had a problem, but I got it! I just downloaded it wrong. I had to right click on the above attachment and "save target as" buddy.txt. Whenever I clicked on the attachment and saved, then uploaded I got errors. All fixed now! Great hack, and so easy to implement!
Thanks,
TigerLily:)

[conan]

Thanks man that is great!

One tiny detail though, can you make it so it uses the same CSS as the board.
On the profile buddy list it does, but the one on the pop up uses the default alink, vlink etc..

[MrLister]

done

[conan]

Thanks a lot man!

[conan]

Still not showing the same style as the board for me :(

[MrLister]

download the new files it should work

[conan]

I just downloaded the new file, overwrote everything I had and still not working :(

[RobAC]

Is this for 2.0? What's the difference between this and what already comes with 2.0 beta 5? Would it be possible to see a gif of what this hack looks like?

[MrLister]

this is for two and it's a pop up. conan make sure to read the file. the file is instuctions and it works perfectly on mine but check again.

You can see something similar by going to SitePointforums.com and clicking on "Launch Buddy List" in your personal features toolbar.

You will have to be a registered member to do this.

I have uninstalled and installed this hack again 1000 times, I'm sure I'm following the exact directions, but the styles won't show properly.

The who posted hack by kier works fine with the styles and all it's beyond me why this isn't working :(

[MrLister]

well i'm not really sure try looking for stuff like #______ in the buddy_main and changing it to {f irstaltcolor} and stuff like that.

[Joshs]

How would I make the color of the username, pm function, and delete function text the same as the rest of my forum? Red not hovered; blue hovered?

[Joshs]

Another problem is that the window doesnt resize if the list is long...

[conan]

It resizes on mine, it doesn't scroll though, for you to enable scrolls you must change scrollbars=no to scrollbars=yes on forumhome template

[Joshs]

Here is my code... I dont know what to change to fix it...


<!-- Buddy -->
<script language="JavaScript">
function popup(url, window_name, window_width, window_height)
{ settings=
"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,"+
"status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,"+
"resizable=yes,width="+window_width+",height="+window_height;

NewWindow=window.open(url,window_name,settings); }
</script>
<!-- End Buddy -->



<!--Buddy--><br><a href="#"
onclick="popup('buddy.php', 'Window', 160, 200);">Launch Buddy List</a><!-- End Buddy-->

[RobAC]

Take a look at what conan wrote there:

scrollbars=yes

now find where it says scrollbars=no in the code you just posted. There's your answer.

change scrollbars=no to scrollbars=yes

[SirSteve]

I want to be able view the Buddy List from any page within the Forums. Also, a few buttons are needed:

A "Refresh List" button
A "Close" button

Thanks for the cool hack!

[eg_92901]

My installation worked great. I had to go into the buddy_main template and adjust the colors though.

[Logtenberg]

screen shot please?

[SirSteve]

Does this work on 2.2.1?

[Erwin]

Simple, yet functional. Thanks!

[Gutspiller]

WTH is this hack? No description anywhere. Duh. :D

[AndyTSJ]

Does this hack work with 2.2.2 ? I tried but it didn't work.

[Neo]

Bump. Is there a updated version of this. I get javascript errors when I try and run it.

[Robouk5]

Hmm, It looked like it worked but It just displayed no one my buddylist... which is wrong, i do have buddies =)

[Robouk5]

my bad, i created the buddy template in the wrong style lol

[JakeC]

I just installed this hack and this is the error I am getting:


Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /home/jakec/public_html/forums/buddy.php on line 29


here is what is on line 29:


invisible=0 ORDER BY username";


I really like this hack but I can't get it going. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You have a gunked up buddy.php.

In mine, that line is commented out. I would revert back to an original buddy.php and try again. It looks like you may have more than that goofed up.

[JakeC]

All we are supposed to do is copy the portion of the text file and paste it into another file and name the file buddy.php right? That?s what I did. Do you think you could post the contents of your buddy.php so I can compare?

here is what I have:

<?php

$templatesused = "buddy_main,buddy";

require("./global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
show_nopermission();
}

// main page:

// ############################### start buddy list ###############################
$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;
$buddyuserssql=str_replace(" ","' OR user.userid='",$bbuserinfo[buddylist]);
$sql="SELECT DISTINCT session.lastactivity, user.userid,username,NOT ISNULL(session.sessionhash) AS online,invisible
FROM user
LEFT JOIN session ON session.userid=user.userid
WHERE (user.userid='$buddyuserssql')
ORDER BY username";
//$sql="SELECT * FROM user WHERE (userid='$buddyuserssql') AND invisible=0 ORDER BY username";
$buddys=$DB_site->query($sql);

$onlineusers="";
$offlineusers="";
while ($buddy=$DB_site->fetch_array($buddys)) {
if ($userdone[$buddy[userid]]) {
continue;
} else {
$userdone[$buddy[userid]]=1;
}

if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
$onoff="on";
} else {
$onoff="off";
}

eval("\$var = \"".gettemplate("buddy")."\";");

if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
$onlineusers.=$var;
} else {
$offlineusers.=$var;
}
}


eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("buddy_main")."\");");

?>

The file you posted matches mine. Yet that error indicates you have a parse error on line 29.

Are you still encountering the error?

[JakeC]

Well, I guess it makes a difference if you copy it to a notepad doc as opposed to a dreamweaver doc. I originally copied it into dreamweaver and it did not work. I just did it in a notepad doc and it works. Go figure. Thanks for helping SpeedStreet.

well, I spoke too soon. The buddy list poped up no problem. Unfortunatly when I added some buddies to my list then tried to launch the buddy list this is the error I recieved:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected
T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']'
in /home/jakec/public_html/forums/buddy.php(39) : eval()'d code on line 9

Buddy List

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Online
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Offline
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I have no idea what that means. One day I will learn PHP if it kills me :ogre: !! Any ideas?
