vBFriends - View your social network and surf to others in vBulletin 3.5

As with vBFOAF, I've just released this mod. (There are no modications needed really, so it's more of an add-on.)

Please note that your buddy list becomes public (to other registered users) with vBFriends, so you will have to notify people of the small change in policy.

Put the attached file in your vbulletin folder, and call with the u=1 parameter, e.g.

http://www.vbulletin.ie/forums/friends.php?u=1

You can surf your social network (similar to orkut), and view connections you have made to others and that others have made to you (similar to FOAF, or as illustrated with plink.org).

Screenshot attached.

The code contains some hardcoded HTML to avoid the use of templates (for now), but it uses standard vB3 CSS classes such as tcat, thead, smallfont, alt1 and alt2 - so should be fine with most styles.

I have edited my postbit/postbit_legacy template, and linked it from there, e.g. under the reputation part, add in something like:

<a class="smallfont" href="friends.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">Friends</a>

Hehe, well...mine had more than 4 right away....I dunno...sorry.

But.....I wanted to take this time to show off our profiles(since you have to register):

Section 1
Section 2
Section 3

We are also adding a comments section like MYSPACE to user's profiles soon.

Thanks for this hack! Although, we did some serious modifying to the original hack.

Hmmm, delete it and redownload it from my post (I reuploaded mine) and then try it again.

Thanks Cloud! Loved it since I first saw it, finally got a vB forum to use it for myself.

*clicks install*

EDIT: Apparently you have to be logged in to view or it gives a blank page. Also I can apparently add myself to my own buddy list (which is weird), but I already told you that.

It doesnt update when you "add" buddies to your list.... At least mine doesnt, does anyone else have the same problem??????

it deletes fine, but doesnt add...

nevermind i found out why.. you have to have them add you also (both ways) to have that person on your BL list.

In that case... CAN someone make a email notification to that person you are adding to let them know you added them and give them the heads up to add you too (if they want to).... at least they should know you added them...

P.S - Anyone know how i can set the AVATAR wrap to 5 avatars per row before it goes to the next row?????
