Profile Enhancements - Automatically Add Friend

Introduction
This modification acts somewhat like Myspace. When you register on Myspace, the creator of Myspace (Tom) is automatically added as a friend (mutually). This acts the same way on your forum by adding any number of users (user IDs required) to the new users friend list. This is completely mutual, but now has the option to be a non-mutual friendship.

This was coded by request in this thread.

Requirements

• vBulletin 3.7.x (This should work on ALL betas & RCs!)

Installation

1. Upload the attached product file by following this path:
   ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
2. Head over to the vBulletin options, open up the "User Registration Options", and set a list of users under the "Automatically Add Friends" option.
3. Enjoy!

Sorry if this was asked, but is there anyway to apply this via SQL retroactively to certain usergroups (basically only active members)? As in, I know this works for future registrations, but what about existing members that I want to make my friend now?

Are you sure it is adding friends? I tried adding it to 4.1.2 on my test site. When I added a new account it didn't seem to add my chosen account to friends, then when I tried to verify the account it got that same db error.

So... I guess it doesn't work with 4.1.x...

will this work with vB4 +?

This one is not working either for vB 4.1.4

[MrFlicks]

Does this work with vb4?

Works great at 3.8...

An "issue", only adds to Friends list, not to contacts... can you add the option to add the user to "friends" and "contacts" too?

That's the reason there's not a + beside the Nick/Username. To addit have to go under Control Panel -> Buddy / Ignore Lists --> ADD TO CONTACT LIST...

Uninstalled...

After 1012 added friends my profile crashed and a SQL ERROR screen appears when ANY user try to see my profile...

This is the error:

It'd be so nice to see this updated to work once more than 1000 users have joined.
