Who Am I A Buddy Of - Version 2.0

[ Feature Description ]
This feature allows users to easily see who they are buddies of along with an easy way to add/remove buddies right from the page! This modification is a big upgrade from the one I made for vBulletin 2. It has proved to be a very useful tool for my members. As of this version, there are noother known performance optimization techniques, nobugs and no security problems.

[ Version 2.0 Fix Log ]
2.00 -> 2.01 - July 20, 2004

[ Updates From Version 1.0 ]

• Uses only one query to get all the information needed for this! (This took me a while to figure out but I got it all into one query using regular expressions and left joins).
• User CP navigation link and proper displaying added.
• Better formatting.
• Easy add/remove buddies from the list with a "- buddy" if a user is already a buddy and a "+ buddy" if the user is not a buddy.
• Percentage of users that are mutual buddies (both of you have each other on buddy lists).
• Updated a security bug.
• Huge performance increase.
• Fixed the big bug that didn't display results if your userid was at the beginning or end of the buddylist.

Hahah, a hack from a board I already go to. Good hack; I originally saw it on a vB2 and was wondering where I could find it. Thanks.

An interesting twist on this would be instead of comparing buddy lists, compare ignore lists

/me clicks install!

Excellent hack! Maybe this'll revive the lost art of the vb3 Buddy list

very nice... kinda depressing to be the owner/admin and not be on one users list :-p ^_^

for some reason I don't have anyone in my list even tho I know that I do. I'm using 3.0.3 -- the other person that I know has me, has my name in his list, but I don't have his in mine -- does it have something to do with having multiple people? Because I look at the buddylist and each id is separated by a space. For some reason I think it's only reading the first id and not any others. Anyone else have this problem?

I didn't think of this at all. I have a forum where people form networks, largely powered by external scripts, but same database, and the method I use now is tedious, this is much easier.

Gaming force,

Great hack.

One question for you - If User A sees that User B has added them to their buddy list (because unlike MSN messenger you don't have to 'accept' that a user wants to be added to their list) and if User A doesn't want to be a part of User B's buddy list does your hack allow User A to remove themselves from User B's buddy list?

Hope that makes sense.
