vBBuddies · **Released**: 04-01-2005

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!

Dark Visor: Yes its something it looks like I've missed, this software just got released without alot of public beta testing so no one has really come up with any big issues. Anyway thanks for the code, will add in whenever there is a next release. Also if there are other issues please do share.

I mean putting a link into the NAV template which says "View Buddies" and takes you to your buddies list.

Or basically the http://www.l9ianime.com/forums/buddies.php?u=1...where is this part found in the install script? I cant find it? I have it working once I enter a number or a member number but, I cannot get it to automatically go to my buddies list without moving up to the address bar and typing in 1 after the u=.

Kagami Kyoji · #**193** 07-12-2005, 02:40 AM

Ah! Nevermind I simply added

PHP Code:


			
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="buddies.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[viewmemberbuddies]</a></td>

in the navbar template =P

thanks Dark Visor.

SS9267547, also on the subject of Private Messaging...i have noticed that even if a user has "Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages" checked in their UserCP, they do not receive email notifications for the VBBuddies automatic notification PM's.

can anyone help on a little more fine-tuning to address this?

illPhever · #**195** 07-15-2005, 06:43 PM

okay, i think i've found the vb code that sends on the email pm notification, but i'm not sure how to use it in the vbbuddies hack.

in private.php is:

PHP Code:


			
                    if ($user['emailonpm'] AND $user['usergroupid'] != 3 AND $user['usergroupid'] != 4)

                    {

                        $touserinfo = &$user;

                        eval(fetch_email_phrases('pmreceived', $touserinfo['langageid'], '', 'email'));

                        vbmail($touserinfo['email'], $emailsubject, $emailmessage);

                    }

and in the vbbuddies hack is code for the sendprivatemessage function in these 3 places of profile.php:

PHP Code:


			
function sendprivatemessage ($userinfo, $message, $subject)

{

    global $DB_site, $vbphrase;



    $userarray["$userinfo[userid]"] = $userinfo['username'];

    $serializedinfo = serialize($userarray);

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext (fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature, allowsmilie) values ('1', '" . addslashes($vbphrase['autosystemmessage']) . "', '" . addslashes($subject) . "', '" . addslashes($message) . "', '".addslashes($serializedinfo)."', '4', '" . TIMENOW ."', '1', '1')");

    $pmid = $DB_site->insert_id();

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm (pmtextid, userid) values (" . $pmid . ", '" . $userinfo['userid'] . "')");

    $DB_site->shutdown_query("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user SET pmtotal = pmtotal + 1, pmunread = pmunread + 1, pmpopup = " . $userinfo['pmpopup'] . " WHERE userid = '" . $userinfo['userid'] . "'");

}

// ################################## End vBBuddies Functions ################################

PHP Code:


			
// Start vBBuddies (Edit by: Lucas)

                        if($vboptions['buddieslist_enablepmrequest'])

                        {

                            $frombuddyname = $bbuserinfo['username'];

                            $frombuddyid = $bbuserinfo['userid'];

                            $message = convert_url_to_bbcode($message);

                            sendprivatemessage ($userid, $message, $subject);

                        }

            sendprivatemessage ($userinfo, $message, $subject);            

        }

    }    

    // End vBBuddies (Edit by: Lucas)

i think the private.php code can be changed and inserted after the sendprivatemessage function to work for the vbbuddies hack, too, but i don't know how. can anyone assist in altering the private.php code to send out the email pm notification for the vbbuddies hack, too?

commTRU · #**196** 07-18-2005, 06:26 PM

Thanks very much for the great hack.. Now I just need people to join the forum other than me to test it

T3MEDIA · #**198** 08-06-2005, 02:34 PM

I messed up for some reason the avatars do not show up on the profile pages anymore. just the avatars (colum and rows) it shows the amounts.

What part handles this so I can look to see where I messed up.
Thanks.
Anyone that knows please advise.

commTRU · #**199** 08-13-2005, 03:35 PM

You know the Buddy/Ignore list that is linked in the User CP? Is there a way to integrate vBBuddies with this just to spruce it up a little bit?

commTRU · #**200** 08-15-2005, 01:18 PM

Actually, in relation to the above, is there a way of putting the public display option from the Option section of the user cp into the Buddy/Ignore template?

yoyoyoyo · #**201** 08-21-2005, 02:30 PM

Typos found on buddies.php:

Quote:

Remember that both members need to have each others names added to thier lists to offically be listed here as buddies.

Also...what is the phrase that is supposed to be next to the checkbox that is checked with no writing?
