Okay sometime this week I will release two new addons for vBBuddies, one for the User CP and the other with the register.php that was requested.

altsounds: With the request PM, the PM that gets sent out at this time isn't a request really, it just lets a user know that that member had added them to there list. Did that since making it as a request it wouldn't work with the system. However, to make it as a request a buddy system it would then need to be worked out so it wouldn't send out a PM each time a member adds them. I don't think I'm making sense there lol. Anyway I'll look into the when I have time and if I can get this to work then it would be inculded in the next release.

That would be seriously freaking awesome. You have an amazing hack here and with your open-ness it could develop into a fantastic tool. Just make sure you try and code in the ability to either approve or disapprove the friend request.

Another thing! As this is basically going to be replacing everyones buddy list eventually :D could you code in an if statement so that if I am looking at my own profile it will have "remove" links so that I can easily remove a user right from the buddy list. The buddy list could be called from the Control Panel using a link to your own full buddy list. However if I am browsing someone elses buddy list the remove link will not appear. Make sense??

Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing these updates soon.

You're awesome!!

You obiously know what is needed to be able to do this as you have it working in your vbbuddies user profile hack.

Could you let us dumb ones know how we could add the check to see if a user is online in any page we want too.

E.g. I would like for my online now logo to show up if a user is online in memberlist, private messages plus anywhere else that might be cool (its a cool way to know if someone is online). I am asking you as I like the way you utilized the online check from the postbit. This is a genius idea as it means all your online nows will be pulled from the same place.

Let me know what steps are needed with any file so that you can add the Online now capabilities.

Thanks

altsounds: With the online/offline feature, I don't think it would work with every page, not 100% sure about that since I used other ways on my other pages to add the online/offline feature like in memberslist and havn't tested it. However the following code is what I use now and should work. Add the following code when the main displaying part of the script starts and replace $inuser to whatever the script uses to get it's data, so it could be $userinfo or $user, whatever it is lol.

With the approve or disapprove the friend request and remove link, I think what I might do is replace the current buddy list in control panel totally so it would only display what you have and not just list / add whoever you want on the list like it is now. I'll have to see what I can do since I don't know what I'm doing myself lol.

i think this hack might take over the world !!!

Also I am using profilepics as opposed to avatars. However, what I have noticed when testing is that if I upload a new profile picture the picture gets updated in the members profile but not on the buddylist. When investigation I noticed that in my MEMBERINFO template at the end of the image call there is a $userinfo[profilepicdateline] field which is making sure that in the profile it has the most up to date profile pic.

I am still getting to grips with coding and vbulletin. Any ideas how I can set it up to include the dateline in my profile pic call from the buddies file?? I tried the same as was in my profile but that didn't work.

Any help is much appreciated.

So put this in the PHP file I want to check online status in right?? E.g. I am trying to do this right no in private.php. I looked through the file and from what I can tell they are using $user so i changed that as appropriate. Now, How do I call this in the Vbulletin template to show the online user logo if a user is online or not.

Sorry for all these questions. I understand most of this but there's a few things I'm still not too good on.

Thanks so much for all your help

Ah with the profile picture, I’m not sure, if I have time I’ll look into when I get home from work and if I have the time. With the online status, yes paste the code when it starts displaying the results. Now to test it you would use $inuser[onlinestatus] or in this case $user[onlinestatus] in the template. Paste that where you want it to show it.
