vBBuddies

During the development of my gaming site I was in the need of a hack that would display the buddies list publicly and I found one that I thought would work well for my needs called vBFriends. However I also found that it was in need of additional features to work more for what I needed it for so I modified this hack. Now with the permission of Cloud-Warrior (John Breslin) I?ve decided to release this little hack to anyone else who might find this useful called vBBuddies.

vBBuddies is similar to vBFriends however instead of showing all the members links (linked from, linked to, etc), vBBuddies simply displays all the members buddies only. Buddies that are of course linked back to the member. So for example a member named ?Bob? added a member named ?John? to his buddy list but ?John? didn?t add ?Bob? to his list. Now if that is the case, when looking at either ?Bobs? or ?Johns? public buddy lists you won?t see their names on there. However if both members add each others names to their buddy lists it will then classify that they are true buddies and put them on the list. Hope that makes sense. That?s pretty well what this little hack does.

In addition to the change above, I?ve noticed that there were two main features lacking from vBFriends that members have noted as well I needed done which was more optimized queries, templates and the option for multi paged system. So I?ve added those to this hack, I just hope that I was able to lower the queries down, think at this moment its at 10 total. Anyway enjoy the hack, hope someone else can find this useful.

There are 8 screenshots included for you to see what this little hack can do. :nervous: Now this isn't the greatest coded hack so I'm sure there are bugs. Please do let me know if there are problems with it and I'll try to find the problem if I have then time to do so. Also if you like the hack make sure hit the install button! Enjoy guys!

Yeah that's cool!
I fixed my bug. I have no idea why it started BUT if someone else gets it (the profile's avatar gets a x if they have no avatar selected.) I did this....
in MEMBERINFO template under:
<if condition="$show['avatar']">
I added:
<if condition="$userinfo[avatarurl] != ''">

Then of course you have to close the if statement... the next imediate </if> I added a next </if>

KTBleeding: Your welcome just hope fixed everything lol :nervous:

T3MEDIA: Hmm I wondering why your avatar wasn't working and if anyone else seems to have this issue? As for the random members, I'll see if I can find some time for this (which one? search or memberslist?), a bit busy working on my site, heh keep side tracking to support the hack. But need the bugs out of it so I can use it for my site lol

I just have one more small request. Where can I edit what is sent to the member via PM when they are added to the buddylist? I'd like to add a link that says something like, "Approve this buddy list request" or "Add this member to your buddylist".

I did that... looked good to but I ran into a loop.
If I added you a response came. then you added me... then your response came. so I couldnt figure out how to do a if statment so I reverted back. BTW it uses BB code so I made it a bit neater.

Well I am going to drop it below my simple search. No idea why that avatar thing happened. its gone now anyway.

Yes see I did wanted to get the pm system to work so you can get "Approved" or what not and added to the list automatically but I couldn't figure out a way to get it to work without to much editing to the whole vbulletin buddy system, to much work for me to spend so much time on, need to the rest of my site you know hehe. So I just many it send a "added" to pm instead, short cut lol.

PHP Code:

// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################
require_once('./global.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_showthread.php');
require_once('./includes/functions_user.php'); 


After that insert the following:

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php'); 


I think I forgot to add that. Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Update: Zip file has been updated.

thanks for the fix

SS9267547 your the man added your usercp addon (screen shot below) edited it a bit.... Theres only one minor thing (i dont like :devious: But could live with if its to much work :lick: ) lol If Benj adds john to his buddy list john get a PM (ye?) if john then adds benj Benj gets the same Pm .. is there a way to turn this off or maybe change it to

{username} has accepted your buddy request congrats your now buddies

lol

Only a little thing like just i think it would be a worthwhile feature

[Benj]
