Marrage System
 

I would like to see a marrage system (Married to: <User>) I would like to see it so:

You can only be married to one person,
It appers in the post bit (Married to: <username>
It appers in he spouces post bit

etc...

Is this possible?

From,

Si

Excuse me for double posting...

Also when someone wants to get married to someone, it comes in a drop downlist (When you click their name on the forums, in the postbit) and in their information (User Info)

Just an idea. I think it would be extremely popular!

extremely popular ?! for who ?

if it would be popular, personally i would have find the request somewhere else already...

but this can be done mostly with userfields...

I think it would be extremely popular. With the people on my site. Possibly other people will want this mod too.

Sorry to bring up a dead thread.

But now vBulletin has Social Networking, isn't it possible, nay probable to have relationship status or a Other Half system, similar to bebo.com?

Just an idea...

Can't this be done with Custom Profile Fields?

It probably can be, Lynne. However, I think it would require that they both fill in usernames or userids for each other in a hidden profile field... Then there'd be a complicated checker to see if the users list each other... Not really worth stuffing into custom profile fields, I think. Sure it might be a faster way of accomplishing it, but it certainly wouldn't look good.

How hard can it be to make that?

Is it a case of not worth it, or can't be bothered to make...?

At the end of the day, what does it cost, to make...

Other Half: [1] [2]

[1] = a 10x10 image of their other half's avatar
[2] = Username, linked to user profile by link.

OR

Other Half: [2]

In the post bit?

A SMALL mod, that people might decide that they like?

No. It requires a bit more than that.


Like it sends a request to the person, or if they already have another half, they can't send/ receive requests unless you "Dump Em"

Seriously, is that hard?

I actually don't think it would be too hard (I would still use profile fields, but I'd add a few plugins too and probably an extra field in the user table). You'd just do a few checks at times that users input the data. So, you have the option of doing it yourself or waiting to see if anyone else is interested in doing it. I don't see it being something a lot of users need, so I don't know that you are going to find someone to make it for free for you.

That sounds a bit harsh to me Si... you can't expect people to do this just because you want them to, whether they can be "arsed" or not. If it's that important to you, you should maybe look into learning how to create it yourself rather than moaning at others because they don't want to/can't.

I had to look "arsed" up (Urban Dictionary) since the 'old' meaning of the word (The Free Dictionary) obviously does not apply with how it's apparently being used by today's kids.
