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!

Okay I'll see when I get back home from work what would be best preformance wise and work wise. See with the newest added way there would need to be alot or extra editing in a number of files so it would record the time they added their buddy. Maybe a random way, ah I'll see and let you know this weekend.

Your welcome, let me know if there are any problems with it.

[KTBleeding]

Will do, I get off in about 7 hours so it won't be until later this afternoon.
One quick question, does this still display the "No buddies/member has decided not to display buddies" messages in the profile?

[SS9267547]

If they don't have any buddies it will ddisplay a no buddy message and if they choose not to display their buddies the list won't show in the profile at all or at least it shouldn't lol.

Now '<if condition="$userinfo[userid] == $bbuserinfo[userid]">' where are you getting this? Do you mean '<if condition="$bbuserinfo[username] == $userinfo[musername]">' in the BUDDIES template?

ok in your phrases there was a spelling mistake. Look at what I said and in the template it wouldnt show the correct intro. (Ya know welcome this is so and so's page.) the if condit I used is better. The profile thing you did is 100% sick. Can you make a branch off hack?
I know this is for friends but your just hucking this up man.

Can you have row that would show random users? I have made a search on a site take a look.... http://www.bpcompanion.com/forums/vi...g=basic_search

I would love it to look like this...
http://browse.myspace.com/index.cfm?...20050409075029

Just random users (neat like how you have it for friends)
I could add it to my template after... Again that profile thing you did is HOT.

[T3MEDIA]

in your addon... there is a place that says...

find:
'bbcode_code',
'bbcode_html',
'bbcode_php',
'bbcode_quote',
In my member.php that doesnt exist.... around what area is that at?

[SS9267547]

You've made changes to the orginal, so instead look for:

PHP Code:

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
    'MEMBERINFO',
