Add user to Global Ignore list from user options menu

[markuswarren]

Hello all,
I'm not sure if "user options menu" is the correct term, so feel free to correct me. The menu I am talking about is the one you see when you click on a users name in a thread, It typically has options such as "View Public Profile", "Send a Private Message to <user name>", etc...

Anyway, what I'd like to be able to do is have an "Add to Global Ignore List" option under there which would grab the userid and add it to the existing Tachy Goes to Coventry listing, thus tachying that user.

Could someone possibly provide a code snippet or two that would aid me to do this. I know a little about PHP and SQL, and have coded a few mods for vB previously for a forum I maintain.

Thanks in advance.
