[RELEASE v2] Pop-up Buddy List

Download the instructions below. I added some new features and made it so it fuses nicely with your vB. The reason why it's in a file is because this vB changes all variables into it's own #______.

You have a gunked up buddy.php.

In mine, that line is commented out. I would revert back to an original buddy.php and try again. It looks like you may have more than that goofed up.

All we are supposed to do is copy the portion of the text file and paste it into another file and name the file buddy.php right? That?s what I did. Do you think you could post the contents of your buddy.php so I can compare?

here is what I have:

PHP Code:

<?php

$templatesused = "buddy_main,buddy";

require("./global.php");

if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
  show_nopermission();
}

// main page:

// ############################### start buddy list ###############################
$datecut = time() - $cookietimeout;
$buddyuserssql=str_replace(" ","' OR user.userid='",$bbuserinfo[buddylist]);
$sql="SELECT DISTINCT session.lastactivity, user.userid,username,NOT ISNULL(session.sessionhash) AS online,invisible
      FROM user
      LEFT JOIN session ON session.userid=user.userid
      WHERE (user.userid='$buddyuserssql')
      ORDER BY username";
//$sql="SELECT * FROM user WHERE (userid='$buddyuserssql') AND invisible=0 ORDER BY username";
$buddys=$DB_site->query($sql);

$onlineusers="";
$offlineusers="";
while ($buddy=$DB_site->fetch_array($buddys)) {
  if ($userdone[$buddy[userid]]) {
    continue;
  } else {
    $userdone[$buddy[userid]]=1;
  }

  if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
    $onoff="on";
  } else {
    $onoff="off";
  }

  eval("\$var = \"".gettemplate("buddy")."\";");

  if ($buddy[online] and !$buddy[invisible] and $buddy[lastactivity]>$datecut) {
    $onlineusers.=$var;
  } else {
    $offlineusers.=$var;
  }
}


eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("buddy_main")."\");");

?>

The file you posted matches mine. Yet that error indicates you have a parse error on line 29.

Are you still encountering the error?

[JakeC]

Well, I guess it makes a difference if you copy it to a notepad doc as opposed to a dreamweaver doc. I originally copied it into dreamweaver and it did not work. I just did it in a notepad doc and it works. Go figure. Thanks for helping SpeedStreet.

well, I spoke too soon. The buddy list poped up no problem. Unfortunatly when I added some buddies to my list then tried to launch the buddy list this is the error I recieved:

PHP Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected 
T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' 
in /home/jakec/public_html/forums/buddy.php(39) : eval()'d code on line 9

Buddy List

I have no idea what that means. One day I will learn PHP if it kills me gre: !! Any ideas?
