[mini-hack] Stylin' Buddy List

[Velocd]

Stylin' Buddy List :cool:

This hack is so small, and so quick, that it could "almost" be considered a template addition. In some cases, I should have just included it in the template forum, but in the long run more people would see it this way. :p

Basically this will make you're current (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/usercp.php) vBulletin UserCp buddy list, look like this one (http://www.animesystem.com/temp/buddylist.gif).

You might have to adjust it alittle to your own preference, like most hacks. ;)

[Goldknight]

Nice hack :cool:

* Goldknight install

[Gohan]

Great hack! but just wonder where away in my usercp.php?
btw does working without away

my usercp.php
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,lastactivity,lastvisit

your usercp.php
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,away,lastactivity,lastvi sit

maybe you use away hack?

[Velocd]

Ah, my bad ;)
I'll make that change right now.

Yea, I do use the away hack ^^;

[Preech]

I'm running 2.2.6 and this doesn't work.

Never Mind, solve my own problem.

Same here, I tried installing it a few times, but it messes up as soon as I upload the updated usercp.php. :(

[Mr_P]

works fine on 2.2.6

check u did it right as deffo works infact has to be the easiest hack to add.

Oh yeah u may be getting the database error as i did so u need to change one line ............

You see this line:
$sql="SELECT userid,username,invisible,away,lastactivity,lastvi sit

Well Remove this from it :

,away

and it works fine as that is for another hack and is`nt needed as orginaly posted by Gohan above.

[Velocd]

I updated the install.txt a while ago, removing:

,away


From the instructions. It should install fine.

[g-force2k2]

nice work Velocd looks pretty nifty ;) keep up the good work man...

[Boofo]

lastvisit wasn't in mine, either. Tried to install this and it messed up my buddy list real bad. Too bad, I really wanted this. :( It looks good.

[Velocd]

Don't worry Boofo, just because you recieved a few errors doesn't mean it's the end of the world!

If you can be more specific on the errors you recieved, or the problem in general, I'm sure a solution can be devised. ;)

[Boofo]

Not the end of your world, maybe. ;) :p

I just couldn't get it to look right. Apparently I have to change something in the usercp template, too (I have the "Who are you a buddy of" hack installed). But I'm not very good at the tables and such. :)

Is the lastvisit from another hack you have installed?

[Velocd]

No, I don't have that hack installed. I'll go alook at it and see what I can do to incorporate the two hacks together :p

[Boofo]

You are a gentleman and a scholar. :)

Yup, that was it. It works like a charm now. Damn you guys are good.

Thanks for the help, and thanks for the great hack:)

[Velocd]

Boofo, I'm not seeing any conflicts that should arise between my and Gamingforce hack.

Are you recieving a database error, or is your problem in the HTML of the template part? Maybe a screenshot might help of your UserCp buddy list.

[Boofo]

LOL Velocd, you're not going to believe this...take a look at the attached picture and tell me if that is how it is supposed to look. :) I don't know what I did right, but I just reinstalled it and this is what I got. :)

The only thing I can see wrong is that I have double lines under the links. :)

[Velocd]

That is indeed what it's suppose to look like, but you may want to enlarge the width of the table. It only looks odd because of the very large avatars. If you want to fix that, then maybe I suggest removing the avatar part, although that is the nifty part of this small hack.

You have double lines because regular URL links have lines underneath them. In my screenshot there are none, only because I add a class="" stylesheet attribute to some of my <a href> tags, for different color and to remove the underline.

If you want to fix that double line, just remove each:
<img border="0" src="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/dotted_line.gif" width="100" height="1">

As mentioned, this hack might need extra HTML tweaking to compensate with your forum design, such as avatar size.

[Boofo]

How about if I add:

style="text-decoration :none;" to each one of the links. That should fix the double lines, I think. ;)

Are the avatars supposed to be so washed out?

Great Hack and thank you for offering the help. I don't know what I did to get it working this time. All I did was re-install the hack and it worked. :) By the way, the lastvisit wasn't in mine, I added your code with it to it. Is that something new in 2.2.6, do you know?

[Boofo]

Velocd, would there be a way to make it so when a buddy IS online, the the avatar would not be washed out, only washed out when they are offline? That would be great! :)

[Velocd]

The opacity of the avatars should only be reduced, or in your terms "washed out" ;), if the user is offline. According to how I hacked it.


$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50)" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'">';


The above is what gives it the faded "offline" affect, ofcourse this should already only be applied to those offline. :/

[Boofo]

Oh, ok. I didn't have a buddy online to check it. Sorry about that. :) Great hack! The wife loves it! ;)

What name Away hack? Where found i it?

[Boofo]

It's bira's away user hack. Just look up bira in the profile and it should be listed there. :)

[Gohan]

Avatar buddy for online


if ($buddy['lastactivity'] > $datecut and (!$buddy['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $buddy['lastvisit'] != $buddy['lastactivity']) {
$onoff="on";
} else {
$onoff="off";
$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50)" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'">';
}


change to:


if ($buddy['lastactivity'] > $datecut and (!$buddy['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $buddy['lastvisit'] != $buddy['lastactivity']) {

[Boofo]

Velocd, how do I make it so the title can have smilies in it for the buddy listing?

[Gohan]

Velocd create hack for offline user only but i like also for online user with their avatar

[Boofo]

Are you sure his doesn't already do this? The way I understood it is that it would show the avatar for online users as well, but not washed out (as I call it). :)

[Dean C]

velocd - is there any chance that you could make it so that if the avatar is bigger than the column... it resizes it to fit?

- Mist

[Boofo]

Yes, there is a way. Thank you for reminding me how to do it. :) These are set at 64x64, but you can use whatever dimensions you need.

In the usercp.php file, replace this:

$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'">';

With this:

$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'" width="64" height="64">';

And replace this:

$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50)" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'">';

With this:

$avatarimage='<img src="'.$avatarurl.'" border="0" style="filter:alpha(opacity=50)" alt="Search for all posts by '.$username.'" width="64" height="64">';

thanks for this hack a good job

I'm not too sure what you mean..

[Boofo]

Sorry about that. I figured it out. I just added this:

$buddy[usertitle]=bbcodeparse($buddy[usertitle]);

After this:

$username = $buddy['username'];

[ZiRu$]

very nice.....will install

[Velocd]

Thanks for the compliments everyone, glad you enjoyed this small addition. I'll try to create more mini hacks like this in the near future as well. ;)

[Dynamic One]

Thanks for this nice looking hack m8.

[MotownLF]

Hmm, why does it looked greyed over? Or is it the colors of my forum that causes this?

Example:

[Bison]

I like it ... [install]

To the fella above ... the picture is "greyed out" because that member isn't online! :)

[MotownLF]

Actually, they were online. If you see above the names, it says, ONLINE.

So why is this greyed over?

[Boofo]

If you added the code to this hack from Post #31, then that is why it is doing it. If you did not add that code, then I'm not sure why this is happening.

[MotownLF]

Yeah I only used the zip at the top of the post. Hmm...Maybe he added that offline code later?

[Herman]

Nice Job Velocd
