Friends and/or Buddies on Profile

WHAT's THIS

• This product adds a public friends and/or buddy list in the profile.
• What are friends? Friends means you are on each others buddylists. It is no seperate addition/addon. It's all based on vb's buddy system.
• Need more info? Look at the attached screenshots, or the live demo(s).
• Avatars/profilepics will not show up, if stored in filesystem!
• Need some kind of informing the users, which have been added to a buddy list? Look at the AutoPM after addBuddy Plugin by Antivirus
• The product adds 2 queries to the profile page

INSTALLATION


Install with product manager.


Set your preferences in the acp (vBulletin options)


Add

PHP Code:

$FNB_HTML 


somewhere in your MEMBERINFO template. Whereever you'd like to show up the friends or buddies. If you're not sure what to do, search for

<if condition="$show['signature']">

in your MEMBERINFO template and add it before that line.


OPTIONAL (User selectable)


If you want to have this user-selectable you need to add a custom profile field. Create the new field as a radiobutton, give it a name and description of your choice, the options yes and no and use the following code instead of only $FNB_HTML:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldXX] == yes">$FNB_HTML</if>

(if user wishes to show up)
or

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldXX] != no">$FNB_HTML</if>

(show by default, user can deactivate it)

Remember to replace XX with the number of the new profilefield!

Actually I have to dissapoint you. You're not the first as some other people got this already. The plugin was born in the vBFriends thread.

[IrPr]

same as vBFriend?

heya thanks so much for the update on what I suggested, and all my honors to you for mentionning my name for the idea

[high]* The Chief clicks install[/high]

[The Chief]

here are some requests I would like to have, and maybe other members would like...

First, when you click on Show All that it opens up a new page showing all the user's friends, so it will be alot easier to browse, like they are listed now but just on it's own page...with that I/we won't even need to have the friend's list anymore as it won't even be needed... just don't know if this is possible..

Second, is it possible when you limit the friend's shown that you can limit these users on the top 8 to the one's that have a profile picture. The one's that don't then they won't be on top, if you know what i mean..

I would rather if you would be able to choose your top 8 like on myspace, but I think that that can be a pain in the arse to build, so I will limit myself to the <if condition something for the profile pictures...

Thanks so much for this and you can count on me to keep you up-to-date on your products
