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!

Oops. Thanks! I will make that change now. I am thinking of adding a few more things...

I just installed the new version and am curious, where is the code to send the PM?

Did I seriously forget that?! Wow. I feel like an idiot. But there probably is none (cause I did this release in a rush). I will add this maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.

Also, if it uses the activate_process hook, I would have it disable the other code as the queries do not need to run for the other hook.

Should I hold my breath now?

It does. The other code is only run when validateemail (which turns on the validation) is set to no. I really haven't had time to test this, so if any one notices problems, please let me know.

I didn't see the code wrapped in the other hook is why I asked.

You didn't test this? Shame on you.

I didn't test as I knew that since it was the same code it would work, that validate email was a boolean so !$vbulletin->options['validateemail'] would allow the code to run. It is basically the same code as before, just with some new checks.

Got a major problem with this now. It added me as a friend to the new user but this is what is shows now in the Friends tab:

Showing Friends 1 to 1 of 2

And this shows in the Friends Block but with only my avatar there and no other friends showing in the block:

Showing 1 of 2 Friend(s)

I am the only friend this new user has right now. It is also showing me as having 1 more friend than I actually have, too. I am uninstalling until this can be fixed, if it can.

What is your configuration (unless of course the validate email didn't actually stop the code from running)?

[Boofo]

What do you mean? I just set the userid to 1.

I think it did as I was talking about earlier and ran both hooks.
