Who am I a buddy of?

[ Feature Description ]
A member on our message board thought it would be cool if you could find out how many people have you on their buddy lists and which members have you on their lists. This hack displays that information using only one MySQL query. Installation is simple. Just modify one template, add one template and upload the php script to your forums directory.

[ Change History ]
Version 1.0 to 1.5:
- The script is now using a more accurate query to retrieve buddy list information. The previous version didn't report some buddies under some circumstances. This has been fixed. (Credits to FireFly)
- Using the shownopermission function for unregistered users trying to access the script.
- The list of buddies no longer has a trailing comma.

[ Upgrade Information ]
Just upload the new whobuddies.php to your forums directory!

[ Installation: What you need to modify/add ]
Files to modify: none
Template to modify: usercp
Templates to add: 1

[ Works on ]
vBulletin versions 2.0.0 - 2.2.9

Enjoy and as always, comments are appreciated! Also click install if you install the script so I get an idea of who's using the script and to send you updates whenever they happen.

Thank you for the hack. Sure a useful one.

Is there a way to make this show in a pop up window instead of loading a whole page?

Working on 2.2.9, just so you know...

Version 1.5 has been released with the following changes:

• The script is now using a more accurate query to retrieve buddy list information. The previous version didn't report some buddies under some circumstances. This has been fixed.
• Using the shownopermission function for unregistered users trying to access the script.
• The list of buddies no longer has a trailing comma.

To upgrade, just upload the new whobuddies.php into your forum directory. The new version can be downloaded from the first page of the hack thread.

Credits to FireFly for the updated query!

hi gamingforce,
thanks for the update, just uploaded the new php file, however now the links to the memberprofiles are missing. guess they are somehow being stripped out???

anyideas

by the way if you add:

PHP Code:

$cpnav = array();
$cpmenu = array();
$cpnav[1]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[2]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[3]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[4]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[5]="{ firstaltcolor}";
$cpnav[6]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[7]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpnav[8]="{ secondaltcolor}";
$cpmenu[5]="class=\"fjsel\" selected";
eval("\$cpnav = \"".gettemplate("usercpnav")."\";"); 


before the $mybuddyq = $DB_site->query

you get the usercp menu on top - thought maybe someone might like that.

I had this hack running perfect (per your install instructions) on my 2.29 forum up until 2 days ago. At that time I switch servers and moved my MySQL database. Everything in the forum works well, and the custom WhoBuddy template and Usercp template revisions remained in tact. I just had to re-upload the whobuddies.php to my main forum directory. Now I am getting this error message when I click on the "Who am I a buddy of?"

Warning: Unknown(/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mysite.com/vbb/whobuddies.php): failed to create stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed opening '/usr/local/apache/htdocs/mysite.com/vbb/whobuddies.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

The whobuddies.php file hasn't been modified at all. I just can't figure out what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
