screen shots? :p

No screenshots available, sorry. Variable $fh_buddylist includes only BUDDYLIST template and you can put this variable where you want on Forumhome. Nothing special here. Point is that users see immediately who from their friends is online and they can pn them very fast.

Will not install this mod without screenshots or a demo.

I agree, this has some merit for a product, but I'm wary of going through the trouble w/o at least an example of what it looks like and what information it shows.

Product shows exactly BUDDYLIST template within $fh_buddylist variable. You can see this template in your forum via Quick Links > Open Contacts Popup. Be sure to put this variable in some container like < div > or < table > as it is not restricted horizontally.

If there is interest in this product I am thinking of publishing an auto-template version.

if you added the friends avatar next to it it would be gold!

Great idea, looking into it.

i have installed this..but my problem with it is that its not collapsable. So someone like me, an admin, has over 20 contacts...it takes a while to get to my forums LOL. Is there a wayt o make the table collapseable? other wise great idea thank you.

Just tested it out...and nothing happens when you click pm.

Please change template BUDDYLIST_FH to the updated content in my Mod Information post (#1) within this thread. Is it working now?
