making buddylist multipage
 

Hi guys,

I am severely modifying my vbulletin and would love to do one thing. I have used and modified a hack that was on here to show the buddylist of that user on their profile for all to see. Now I am not a coder of any means so I'm sure the code is not the greatest but the problem this whole thing has right now is that if a user has more than 8 buddies the page keeps growing down, messing up my webpage layout.

I have to things that I would like to do with this and need you guys help in coding it. They are:

1. After 8 buddies have been shown a $pagenav will come up with the ability to click next page and see 8 more buddies.

2. Instead of displaying the buddies alphabetically I would love it if it would be displayed randomly thus making it easier to find new buddies and their profiles to look @.

This is the code that I have right now in member.php that displays the buddylist in the profile and I just call $buddyavatar within the MemberInfo Template to show it:

$userinfo = verify_id('user', $userid, 1, 1, 15);

$whichlist = "buddylist";
// (Dis)Likes
$outuserids = array();
$outuserids = explode(' ', trim($userinfo[$whichlist]));
if (trim($userinfo[$whichlist]) != "") {
$outusers = $DB_site->query("SELECT ".TABLE_PREFIX."user.username,".TABLE_PREFIX."user .userid,".TABLE_PREFIX."userte xtfield.".$whichlist." FROM
".TABLE_PREFIX."user,".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextf ield WHERE
".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid = ".TABLE_PREFIX."usertextfield.userid AND
".TABLE_PREFIX."user.userid IN (".implode(',',$outuserids).")
ORDER BY username");
while ($outuser = $DB_site->fetch_array($outusers)) {
if ($outuser[avatarurl]!= ""){$outuser[avatarurl] = fetch_avatar_url($outuser['userid']);
$buddyavatar .= ""<tr valign=bottom><td class=alt1 width=35%><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"><img src=\"image.php?u=$outuser[userid]image.php?u=$userinfo[userid]&amp;type=profile\" border=0 height=50></a></td><td class=alt2 width=35%><a class=\"smallfont\" href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"/>$outuser[username]</a></td></tr>$pagenav";

$outuserlist .= "<a class=\"smallfont\" href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"/>$outuser[username]</a>";

}
else {$outuser[avatarurl] = fetch_avatar_url($outuser['userid']);}
$buddyavatar .= "<tr valign=bottom><td class=alt1 width=35%><a href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"><img src=\"image.php?u=$outuser[userid]image.php?u=$userinfo[userid]&amp;type=profile\" border=0 height=50></a></td><td class=alt2 width=35%><a class=\"smallfont\" href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"/>$outuser[username]</a></td></tr>";

$outuserlist .= "<td class=alt2 width=35%><a class=\"smallfont\" href=\"$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$outuser[userid]\"/>$outuser[username]</a></td></tr>";

}
}

Any help you can provide coding these two additions to this already existing code would be magical.

I look forward to your help.

that hack you're using needs optimising i know cos i was gonna use it, but anyway you need to add a limit to the main query with the pagenav data :)

Can you give me some more details please??? I understand what you mean from above, but how does that translate into physical code?? Excuse me I'm a PHP newbie.

Chris

Anyone?

ok let me find an example of the code you need.

taken straight from some code i'm working on.

you'd need to set your pagenav variables i.e.
then you'd need to make sure that the query realises the code (based on the code of the hack you're using)

I really hate to do this but I am not a PHP coder by any means. Is there anyway you can demostrate your example in the example code that I initially posted??

What you put makes sense but making that work in this script I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks so much for your continued help.
