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!

It is working correctly. Only "Friends" are shown with their avatars above the buddy and buddy-by list. Just look the screenshots i attached. If you want to show only the buddy list you have to set it in acp. It's the first option at top, where you define to show friends or not, set it to no.

I just have a n00b question ...

In the Vbulletin Option Settings for this... What exactly does

Columns?
The columns to be displayed next to each other.

Mean? ... Kinda confused "What" it actually is referring to / changes

The numbers of avatars/profilepics shown next to each other per row.

Thanks *laugh* ... Was really tired when i posted that and I was guessing that is what it was for

Great Product!

[ronoxQ]

Ah, I see now.

Is there any way to change it so buddies show up there, too?

Can't figure out the bit about giving the user the option of whether it shows up or not but works great otherwise.
