vBFriends - View your social network and surf to others in vBulletin 3.5

As with vBFOAF, I've just released this mod. (There are no modications needed really, so it's more of an add-on.)

Please note that your buddy list becomes public (to other registered users) with vBFriends, so you will have to notify people of the small change in policy.

Put the attached file in your vbulletin folder, and call with the u=1 parameter, e.g.

http://www.vbulletin.ie/forums/friends.php?u=1

You can surf your social network (similar to orkut), and view connections you have made to others and that others have made to you (similar to FOAF, or as illustrated with plink.org).

Screenshot attached.

The code contains some hardcoded HTML to avoid the use of templates (for now), but it uses standard vB3 CSS classes such as tcat, thead, smallfont, alt1 and alt2 - so should be fine with most styles.

I have edited my postbit/postbit_legacy template, and linked it from there, e.g. under the reputation part, add in something like:

<a class="smallfont" href="friends.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">Friends</a>

If I want to add a link to the member profile so when a visitor clicks on a link it will shown this script instead of embeded into the profile page. I used this code

<a href="friends.php?u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]'s </a>

but it show a blank page when user even though the link turned to be http://mydomain.com/forum/friends.php?u=1 on the address bar.

Does the user ID 1 exist? You need to be logged in as well to see the Friends page...

I suspect this may be fixed if you replace any mysql_ bit's with $db-> - for example change mysql_fetch_array to $db->fetch_array.

I've attached the plugin xml file. You need to edit the text in the php code, if you don't like german. Maybe this will get extended with phrases to a full product. You need to add

PHP Code:

$FRIENDSFOES 


somewhere in your MEMBERINFO template, wherever you like to have it displayed.

I've also attached a screenshot how it would look like.

Color me slow but exactly where does this plugin go?

edit: nvm i've sorted it. very nice!

Trying to modify the php code to do the following, but i am stumped...

if any member is on the user's $inoutlist then that member's username would no longer show on the user's $inlist or $outlist



Also, as others here have suggested, if someone who knows php well can check out the following thread by KirbyDE, the automatic sending of the PM could probably be implemented... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...6&highlight=pm

how do we make it so that we can fix the size of the list, like I cannot get it to match my width, it goes directly off the table...

does anybody know how to fix this?

This script mod is conflicting with my PHPAD Banner module.. it spits out an fatal error in my memberinfo template where the vbfriends are activated.

Anyone else have this problem and fixed it or a solution for it??
