To make something random is easy. Just look in the PHP code for the database query and look for either ASC or DESC and then change it to RAND.

Thats it done. You can also limit this by doing ' limit 5' after the rand too if you want (I Believe).

havnt changed that line tho so cant see why i would need to

Nice Hack!

i have a question, though. would anyone know how to add a Custom Field display option? i have a custom user profile field (single-selection menu) and i would like the value of that field to be displayed in the vbbuddy list for each member listed.

...so i would like to add that custom user profle field to the Members & Profile Display Options in the Buddy List settings.

any help would be much appreciated. thanks!

Okay, this is great, but I have a couple issues. They are all my fault, but I could use a little help anyway.

Let me say first that I have a custom style. It always makes this harder.

First, the table in UserCP showing buddies, near subscriptions, doesn't showup (the one on profile does, but it messed up the footer and I know how to fix that.)

Second, on memberlist the header on the top column is a buddylist icon, like the conditional ran for the header row.

And lastly, is there a way to make this just show all of your buddies, not just the reciprocal ones?

Thanks,

Dennis

Okay, I removed this hack, man that was fun, and all of the addins.

Now the only problem I have is on my memberinfo page where it shows the birthday.

I beleive the phrase was accidentally removed, but I could be wrong.

Instead of "Whatever it said here, like Birthday" : April 12, 1968

I just get the ": April 12, 1968" Not the heading or title of the field.

Any help with restoring this would be appreciated.

EDIT: Okay, searched the install XML for vB and found the phrase, restored. All is well. One of the uninstall scripts removed it, that should get fixed.

Well, now the Add to Buddy List and Add to Ignore list items are missing from my users profile pages.

Off to check reverted files and templates, wee haw.

EDIT: Okay, that was removed phrases too, can somebody tell me which of these phrases I can remove and not impact my forums?

Sorry to be a putz, but an unistall should not have done this damage.

Dennis

Ahhh on your memberlist top I have that as well. I figured it is because I completely changed the layout.

Good point.

Well, if you uninstall, you need to watch your phrases, it removes several stock phrases.

I don't have much time but here is a small update version 1.0.3. This should fix the problem with the stock phrases at least I hope it will, something I missed. Here is a list of stock phrases that you might have problems with when uninstalling with the old installer or installing with the new installer:

• add_x_to_ignore_list
• add_x_to_buddy_list
• remove_x_from_your_buddylist
• remove_x_from_your_ignorelist
• online_status
• last_visit
• birthday

The installer has been update, just in case the pharses are still needed if someone installs the hack they are still in the install script. Hope that helps those that need to uninstall. Enjoy.

Where can I find the old install script? I need to upgrade.
