vBFriends - View your social network and surf to others in vBulletin 3

[Cloud-Warrior]

As with vBFOAF, I've just released this mod. (There are no modications needed really, so it's more of an add-on.)

Please note that your buddy list becomes public (to other registered users) with vBFriends, so you will have to notify people of the small change in policy.

Put the attached file in your vbulletin folder, and call with the u=1 parameter, e.g.

http://www.vbulletin.ie/forums/friends.php?u=1

You can surf your social network (similar to orkut), and view connections you have made to others and that others have made to you (similar to FOAF, or as illustrated with plink.org).

Screenshot attached.

The code contains some hardcoded HTML to avoid the use of templates (for now), but it uses standard vB3 CSS classes such as tcat, thead, smallfont, alt1 and alt2 - so should be fine with most styles.

Changelog:


// 0.1 - 2004-06-23 - First version
// 0.2 - 2004-06-24 - Added missing trailing slash
// 0.3 - 2004-06-28 - Added missing TABLE_PREFIX to tables
// 0.4 - 2004-07-01 - Added functionality for enemies
// 1.0 - 2004-07-21 - No comment
// 1.1 - 2004-09-09 - Added mutual percentage, in and out counts, link and unlink options for own account

[Cold Steel]

Excellent! Installed!

However, I had to add a "/" to every instance of [bburl]. My [bburl] doesn't have a trailing slash.

[Cold Steel]

Can you explain a little bit about how it works?

I have one buddy, so I am only linked to one person.

Another user has four buddies, and she is linked to eight people.

If they are linked through buddies of buddies, can that be made clear?

[Polo]

Looks like a cool hack, i may install it later...

[FleaBag]

Sweet ass. :)

[Erwin]

Sounds like a very interesting idea. :) I may try this out...

[Polo]

Installed. Works nice so far... (i also had to add a "/")

[Cold Steel]

This hack would be orgasmic if it could become a vBulletin version of Friendster.

[Cloud-Warrior]

If they are linked through buddies of buddies, can that be made clear?

Sure, I'll explain it now...

Let's say I have 6 buddies on my list (Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Grandpa), but only Homer, Bart and Grandpa have me on their buddy lists - then I'm linked to 3 people (because the link has been reciprocated).

So the number of 'friends' is really those who have linked back - you can't make a friend by just adding them to a buddy list. You'll see the number corresponds to the common names in the two lists (linked to / linked from).

I'll fix that trailing slash thing in the next version...

[Polo]

Nice hack Cloud warrior, i have made several modifications to the code (so it can work the way i want it) and so far i havent had any problems.

[Ghostsuit]

This looks fantastic. Wait for next release before testing :)

[Polo]

i think the file has been updated

Thanks for the positive comments all - Polo, I'll appreciate any useful updates / changes you have made...

[D|ver]

great hack :D :D

but is it possible to integrate this into the normal user profile?

[Dan]

Nice Idea :)

[Cloud-Warrior]

If you mean linking to the Friends page, it just involves some editing of your templates. One way to make it more visible is to edit your postbit template, and just add in something like:


<a class="smallfont" href="friends.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">Friends</a>


whereever you want it. I put it after the reputation images on my forum, it's a matter of personal taste I guess.

thx for you help, but i don't mean linking to it

i want to show the friends page under the contact information in the normal user profile
is there any way to include friends.php?u=&userid for example?

that would be really great :)

[Gryphon]

It didn't like table prefixes so I had to make the following changes.

Find:
// (Dis)Likes
$outuserids = array();
$outuserids = explode(' ', trim($userinfo[$whichlist]));
if (trim($userinfo[$whichlist]) != "") {
$outusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT user.username,user.userid,usertextfield.".$whichlist." FROM
".TABLE_PREFIX."user,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield WHERE
user.userid = usertextfield.userid AND
user.userid IN (".implode(',',$outuserids).")
Replace:
// (Dis)Likes
$outuserids = array();
$outuserids = explode(' ', trim($userinfo[$whichlist]));
if (trim($userinfo[$whichlist]) != "") {
$outusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username,".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.".$whichlist." FROM
".TABLE_PREFIX."user,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield WHERE
".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.userid AND
".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid IN (".implode(',',$outuserids).")

Find:
// (Dis)Liked By
$counter = 0;
$inusersquery = "SELECT user.username,user.userid,usertextfield.".$whichlist." FROM
".TABLE_PREFIX."user,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield WHERE
user.userid = usertextfield.userid AND
FIND_IN_SET('".$userinfo[userid]."', REPLACE(usertextfield.".$whichlist.", ' ', ',')) > 0
ORDER BY user.username";

Replace:
// (Dis)Liked By
$counter = 0;
$inusersquery = "SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username,".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.".$whichlist." FROM
".TABLE_PREFIX."user,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield WHERE
".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.userid AND
FIND_IN_SET('".$userinfo[userid]."', REPLACE(".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.".$whichlist.", ' ', ',')) > 0
ORDER BY ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username";

[58sniper]

The one minor issue I've seen so far is that the avatar dimensions are hard coded. This is fine if you're using the 64x64 format.

Just a thought. Otherwise it's cool.

[gmarik]

Looks great - like livejoornal and even better!

[Serph_kun]

Ohhhh!!
excellent!! :D
Good idea!! ^^
Congratulations!! :)

[will_lean]

#Fixed
nice hack.

[yinyang]

i'm getting an "Invalid user ID specified. " error. don't know what's wrong, in fact i don't know much about coding in general. any ideas?

[Cloud-Warrior]

For u=1 is it? Try the userid of your own account...

[yinyang]

For u=1 is it? Try the userid of your own account...
when you mean try the userid of my own account, does this mean i type something in the friends.PHP file? where would i put it?

[58sniper]

You have to call the file with a value for u. For example, friends.php?u=1 where the value of u is the user ID that you want to see the friends for....

tks, i got that. but how do i do that automatically? is there anyway that it can be made a global so if i make the link into a tab, any of my members will get their friends list?

[58sniper]

I added this to postbit:

[Lee Wilde]

great hack :D :D

but is it possible to integrate this into the normal user profile?


Yes, I've done this. I dissected friends.php.....I took all the code and added it to member.php and I took the html and added it to the end of the MEMBERINFO template (see attached).

[Cold Steel]

Can you give a larger screenshot?

[Lee Wilde]

Can you give a larger screenshot?

Oops sorry....I've just uploaded a larger image.

[Cold Steel]

Thanks, much appreciated.

Since you have it in the profile, have you used the separate file at all?

[Lee Wilde]

Thanks, much appreciated.

Well I don't think I have any need to link to friends.php on its own :rolleyes: but I'll keep it just in case.

This is an excellent feature, especially for a networking site like mine....when I eventually launch it.

[Cloud-Warrior]

Thanks Lee - looks good.

I've updated the file with a slight change - adding do=ignorelist to the URL changes it from showing Friends to Enemies ;)

[Lee Wilde]

This is a really cool hack Cloud-Warrior, thank you for your generosity in sharing it.

Someone has asked me to clarify what I've done to my member.php so I'm attaching a copy of an un-hacked member.php with the vbfriends code included. Search for "vBFriends 0.1 - John Breslin and Jon Hanna".

[Cloud-Warrior]

Moved to Full Releases - thanks Logician.

Lee, you can't post full vb files...I would instead document the changes made to member.php.

[Darkwolf]

Could you add-on a feature to allow user to write testimonals for this user... after being added as friend..

and how do i add a "friend" button on the navbar template ?

[The Coldwood]

Kewl hack - installed it on my own server.

[rsuplido]

I second on testimonials. :D

[DrkFusion]

I was suprised that I didn't see this. I installed it right away! I am writing an addon of how they are connected :)

[sabret00the]

is their no way to have public friend (linked friends) and still keep normal private ones too?

[Ghostsuit]

Just curious but what did everyone use the buddy list for anyway?

[Polo]

but can you see who has you listed as a buddy in their buddy list? and besides, this little hack just gives it a more graphical interface...

Anyone done any changes to this then?

* jd clicks install *

I have been testing this for a while, it is great just installed it on my live forum.

I added a link in my forums navbar (also a conditional so guests will not see the link), so when each member clicks the link it will bring up vBFriends with their userID.

Thank you.

JD. :)

[Erwin]

Just a note - this hack is not well-optimized - each "friend" adds a query - so if a member has 50 friends, that is 57 or 59 queries when you run the script. :)

Something to bear in mind. I'll see if I can optimize it.

[Ghostsuit]

Oh would be nice.

[y2krazy]

Something that would be nice is if it were to use a template instead of the HTML outputs in the file itself. I know how to use if conditionals in the templates, but cannot seem to grasp how to utilize them through the friends.php file itself. The code won't work, and I'm not that great with PHP, so if you could maybe allow it to use a template instead, that would be great!

/me clicks install!

Thanks Erwin - that would be great. What had you in mind?

I have a new version here too that I'm about to upload with a few more small changes (adds link / unlink things when viewing your own friends, calculates mutuality percentage, in and out counts).

[D|ver]

will there also be the feature to show the friends in the users profile page?


that would be so great :)

[Lord Brar]

Quick Question - If as an Admin, I add every member in my friends list then will all of these friends be displayed on One Page? or is a Pagination possible?

[Cloud-Warrior]

Quick Question - If as an Admin, I add every member in my friends list then will all of these friends be displayed on One Page? or is a Pagination possible?

Good question, but good grief don't do it (add all those friends) with the current version of vBFriends if you have more than 50 members because there's a query for each one of your friends (until it gets optimised) - there's no pagination at present, but after optimisation we could add that in.

BTW if anyone else has any ideas, please add them here. Someone was asking about integration into the profile, someone did that earlier in the thread so perhaps they can let us know what they edited (member.php I guess).

[Erwin]

My forums had a database crash, so I've been busy restoring things. :) When I find time I will investigate this.

[Mosh]

BTW if anyone else has any ideas, please add them here. Someone was asking about integration into the profile, someone did that earlier in the thread so perhaps they can let us know what they edited (member.php I guess).

Here are four:

1. The ability to add a friend to vBFriends (I know you can via your buddy list and a member's profile).
2. If you add someone, then some sort of automatic invite (PM?) to the person added to reciprecate the link, thereby making them a friend.
3. Online status in vBFriends
4. A PM this member link next to each friend.

Just a small wish list.

JD. :)

[Benj]

i also would like the ability to have a friends request system that tells you who has linked to you giving you the option to allow / block the friend link

[Benj]

cloud are you going to be optimising this script soon

[Lee Wilde]

repost please

Sorry everyone, I stopped getting email notifications on this thread for some reason and didn't know people were asking for help.

Basically, all I did was take all the code from friends.php and pasted it into my member.php....right at the bottom, just above the print_output information.

Then I added a table to the bottom of my MEMBERINFO template (see attached text file). WARNING! I have changed my MEMBERINFO template around a great deal as you can see from the screenshot. All you really need is the small table at the end to add to your own template.

Then I got an error saying that there was no such file as ../vbulletin - so I just went back into member.php and deleted that line of code and everything works fine.

I really love it. Here is an updated screenshot.

[Lee Wilde]

To clarify....

(1) Open friends.php and copy EVERYTHING between the <?php and ?>

(2) Paste it into your member.php.....right at the bottom, directly above this line:

$templatename = iif($quick, 'memberinfo_quick', 'MEMBERINFO');

(3) Remove all the html info (I don't know if it makes any difference to leave it in)

(4) Add a small table at the end of your MEMBERINFO template (see attached text file above)

I basically have no idea what I'm doing....just amusing myself by cutting n' pasting, so don't expect much in the way of technical advice...but it worked for me as you can see above.

Can't wait for the update with the added features!!

[Lee Wilde]

Oh, also......in your new member.php.....you need to change every mention of "friends.php" to "member.php" I think there were 3

LeeLee is in Aussieland and has to go sleepy bye bye now.

[Benj]

is anything being dun with this script now or ?

[GamerJunk.net]

Here is a template mod I did for this so you can access it easier for each user.

[sabret00the]

did this ever get optimised?

[Benj]

nope

[sabret00the]

it's a shame, would've been a nice thing to have.

[Benj]

yeah sure wound

[Lee Wilde]

One of my members has added EVERY other member as a friend. 400+ users at present, so it would have taken him a while. What an idiot. Our site is for business professionals, so what he has done looks particularly ridiculous.

Where do I go/what do I do to delete all his linked "friends"?

[Cloud-Warrior]

You'll have to clear his buddy list with an SQL statement.

update usertextfield set buddylist="" where userid=HIS_USERID_HERE;

[Lee Wilde]

Thank you VERY much! Worked like a charm. Really appreciated.

[T3MEDIA]

Well I installed this but I found a bug! Yeah! I actually did something here!

well if there is no users in your (top) Friends % Mutual list the tables messes up. The HTML isnt what I am used to so I have no idea how to fix that.

in other words is linked to and is linked from get fat and just ruin the look.

file attached. any help in this area would be nice.

[Cloud-Warrior]

Sorry I can't see the problem with the HTML here, maybe it's something obvious but what's wrong in the screenshot?

Thanks,

John.

[Benj]

are there any plans to update this hack in any way shape or form ?

[sabret00the]

something i was both wondering and hoping, especially in regards to caching the queries via a function, i like this hack and i have something similar planned but i honestly think that it would just seem more of an add-on.

the features i was looking for was;
adding a friend requires their acceptance
and then you go click ona link to display all the friends instead of the admin set amount.

ofcourse that would make obselete the "is linked too" and "is linked from" columns and queries :)

[T3MEDIA]

Sorry I can't see the problem with the HTML here, maybe it's something obvious but what's wrong in the screenshot?

Oh I am sorry see the is linked to and from? Its fatter than the others. It only happens when there isnt anyone mutually linked.

When there are avatars uptop it works or I should say looks perfect. I also would like it so it doesnt link to other peoples buddies profiles. just shows who I am linked to and who linked to me. and who reciprocated. Thats it. I would rather if you click on a name in the list it just goes to thier profile page.


If you can show me how to do that that would be awsome!

[sabret00the]

here yo go t3media

i basicallly cleaned up the code so i could take a proper look at it, i was gonna make it template based too but decided to leave it, but alas here it is, i couldn't work out a way to get the info via a cache in my spare hour, hopefully someone else will :)

Oh you hucked it up. I would like to make a donation for that. (it wont be big) but I mean that is exactly what I wanted. for saber and Cloud-Warrior.

The only thing I ask is what ever you did to fix the tables can you do it as well when there isnt anyone listed? If there are no buddys at all the tables go fat as well. That is about it!!!

Thank you very much. please both users PM me a paypal to send to.

[sabret00the]

thank you but i couldn't accept i barely done anything :)

[T3MEDIA]

thank you but i couldn't accept i barely done anything :)
ohh now the link adds people to the ignore list lol.
that was actually funny.

can these incy wincy things be fix in my mini mod?

Oh if there are no buddies at all... the bottom tables go fat as well.

[sabret00the]

what link add's em to your iggy list?

[sabret00the]

minor update, now most of it is handles via vB

adding the template and the updated file here

name the template: vbfriends_main

updated the php file

[T3MEDIA]

what link add's em to your iggy list?
ya know... like if you have people on the link to side (far right) it says link next to thier name.

if I hit it now. they will be added to my ingore list not the add buddy list. it has to be something small. they are going to the oposite thing. Same thing if I try to unlink.

something small you changed in the code.

here is a new pic of fat tables with out any data.

[sabret00the]

ahhhhh i just noticed that issue too, ok i'll fix that :)

Thank you ever so much.

[sabret00the]

i've not been able to work out how to optimise this at all. :(

[D|ver]

are there any plans to update this hack in any way shape or form ?
yeah that would be really so great if this hack would be optimised :)

i really love this hack but because there is still no profile integration i can't use it ;(

[sabret00the]

profile integration is the easy bit, the harder bit is the optimisation, then what i'd really love is making sure you have to accept buddy request, which even that aint too too hard (not saying i could do it but whoever can optimise it can, imo it's just a matter of sending a pm with two links, accept/deny if you click accept then it adds the userid to each table, else it sends back a pm to say request denied.

[MikaK]

This surely looks like a very cool hack to have once optimized! Any progress with that?

Cheers,

-Mika

[sabret00the]

aye once it's optimised it will be a great hack.

[T3MEDIA]

Bump~~~ Any thing new on this?

[Cloud-Warrior]

I'm afraid work priorities have put me off track on this hack - it'll be a few weeks before I can take a look.

There's three ideas - see if the existing SQL and code can be optimised, create a new table to store buddy IDs, or cache the output to a HTML file that only gets updated every so often...

Sorry - but I do want to do this, just can't at the moment.

[Erwin]

The easiest would be a separate column which gets updated as people are added or removed from the buddy list. When I have time I was going to look into it. But I'm just too busy. :) It's not hard - same queries only when people are added to buddy list, adds to the column in user table with list of userids.

Hey so far for me it works great.

[Dennis Olson]

I'd like something a little different:

Mods and admins can see anyone's list, but regular users can only see their own list. (For example user# 123 could not see user # 456's friends list.) How could that be done?

[altsounds]

Re-vamping the buddy portion of VB would be excellent for this hack so that a PM is sent when you ask to add a buddy and they can either accept you or deny you.

If they accept you, it would be cool if it automatically created the reverse (add me as one of their friends too).

And having the capability of viewing the buddies from the profile with a limit (say 8) shown. Would be cool if they could be shown in random order too so every time you open the profile it would be different. There should then be a link saying view full buddy list which will take you to friends.php

I can mess around with the profile integration thing (not that good at coding mind you) if some expert can handle the whole back end buddy pm sending, accepting, denying and checking.

I'll be keeping my eye on this post!!!!

Great Hack.

Chris

[T3MEDIA]

good idea sounds like myspace... nice.

[altsounds]

Anyone willing to take my suggestions above on?? As I stated I am not a coder so all I can help with is suggestions!! This would be amazing if someone could take it on.

Chris

[T3MEDIA]

Hey a few if statements do not work in this.
I never noticed before. The enemy and " <!-- // If already on list, will want to change this to remove... -->" part.
if you look there isnt code there for the if statement. should be a else but I am not sure what string to put.

If your around think you can fix that small mishap?

fixed code, it was dirty but it works

Hey a few if statements do not work in this.
I never noticed before. The enemy and " <!-- // If already on list, will want to change this to remove... -->" part.
if you look there isnt code there for the if statement. should be a else but I am not sure what string to put.

If your around think you can fix that small mishap?
i have no idea what so ever what you mean, this template is working properly for me.

i have no idea what so ever what you mean, this template is working properly for me.ok look at your if statement.

<if condition="$userinfo[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]">
<a class="smallfont" href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=$whichlistshort&u=$userinfo[userid]">Add to Your $whichlistshort List</a>
</if>

this is always true. On top of that there isnt a remove there.
shouldnt it not show all the time? I can see it even if they are on my list.

as for enemies I never see that.

is it just me?

what the if condition is asking is "if you are not this user => do you want to add him/her to your userlist?" and NOT "if you're a buddy do you wanna add me?".

[T3MEDIA]

what the if condition is asking is "if you are not this user => do you want to add him/her to your userlist?" and NOT "if you're a buddy do you wanna add me?".
what????
ok hold up. I am looking at a user right now. I am his buddy he is mine.
it still says Add to Your buddy List

that isnt right. ok. put it this way look at your comment. "we want to change this to remove"
there isnt anything there right?

[sabret00the]

you're correct, but the comment is wrong
<!-- // If already on list, will want to change this to remove... -->

should read
<!-- // If i am not this user offer to add me -->

you could, or anyone could quite easily readd the original conditional but if i remember correctly i removed that due to a bug in the system where it wasn't removing users properly.

ummm so your sayin just leave it I guess? Ok the reason I asked was I would like that conditional to actually work

If I am a buddy already just disapear. any if cons I could use?

It shows constantly at the moment you really dont need a if statement.

[sabret00the]

surround it with this <if condition="in_array($userinfo[userid], $outuserids)">
<if condition="$userinfo[userid] != $bbuserinfo[userid]">
<a class="smallfont" href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=$whichlistshort&u=$userinfo[userid]">Add to Your $whichlistshort List</a>
</if>
</if>

[T3MEDIA]

Im on it batman

[T3MEDIA]

+++++++++++++++
question what is the URL to remove so I can do a else statement?

thanks for the help so far.

[sabret00the]

i have no idea try this though

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?do=removelist&userlist=$whichlistshort&u=$userinfo[userid]">

[Dennis Olson]

good idea sounds like myspace... nice.
I'd still REALLY like this change:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=612175&postcount=103

Could someone perhaps work that out?

TIA!

[T3MEDIA]

a template conditional? like your asking a Hi5 thing? I can see people in my own network? I never understood what that ment.

[Dennis Olson]

A "regular member" should ONLY be able to see his/her own list. An Admin could see everyone's list. Would probably be a conditional, but I don't know where it'd go, or the syntax.

[T3MEDIA]

vbbuddies I think is the new thing.

Check it out and let me know.

[Allan]

work under vB3.0.7 ?

[Selene]

any one who installed it? any URLS?

Hi waht I'm looking for is a hack that allows some sort of functionality as such:
My basic wishlist:
- User profiles with guestbook, multiple photos, html user page (myspace.com), blog feed on profile (my hack of mod_feedrss)
- User Groups like tribe.net and e-Friends.
- Events posting, registration and payment with PayPal (iVITE)
- User-to-user event and site invitation with referral system. (If someone joins and they enter my user name I am automatically sent a buddy request)
- Friend/Buddy system with request/deny, buddy groups and buddy/group PM
- Find users/events by zipcode distance
- Profile search by clicking on keywords/phrases like tribe.net and myspace.com

the main thing would be searching for users by a certain zipcode/distance...
any joy anyone?

Kind regards,

Hanif

All that would be so nice! What does myspace.com run?


I would like to show thumbnails by your frineds link

I hope someone can finish this hack.

check out vbuddies... maybe that is what you are looking for...

[altsounds]

I have vbuddies installed for my buddy portion and that works awesome. I have used this friends however to show people that have requested to add you as a friend that you have not accepted and it gives you the ability to accept. I am using the linked from portion of this script and have changed the Unlink portion to show nothing and the Link portion to show user picture and accept user.

However, this is all cool but the only way to remove somebody from the "Buddy Requests" is to accept them then it uses the unlink portion of the php file and doesn't show them in the file. What I need is a way to figure out how you can decline the user request so it will also not show.

Anyone have any ideas?

Chris

[T3MEDIA]

I did the exact same thing. I turned this hack into "degrees of seperation" and the other hack vbbudies as a FRIENDS section.

Not to talk about a next hack but my workaround to your delema was to use the pm additon to the vbuddies hack. in the pm I give the option to see the users profile. so you can add them or remove them.

Yes I know there isnt a refusal.
