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!

Edit the phrase 'buddies_autopmrequest' in your admincp to whatever you would like it to say when the pm is sent.

Doh, I should have known that...

I have found an error message, actually. When viewing certain member profiles I seem to get this message:

Quote:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: bitwise() in /home/keepthem/public_html/forums/member.php on line 562

Lines 558 - 574 is this chunk of code:

Code:

// ##################################### Start Buddies List ##################################
// ===========================================================================================
// Check and see what information is to be shown for each member listed . (Edit by: Lucas)

It only happens on some profiles though.

What users groups do those members belong to? Can you post me more information about the member having problems?

KTBleeding · #95 04-09-2005, 04:37 PM

Both the ones that give me errors, and the ones that don't give me errors are in the Registered Members group.

SS9267547 · #96 04-09-2005, 04:41 PM

Try this for me, cut this out:

PHP Code:


			
// ##################################### Start Buddies List ##################################

// ===========================================================================================

// Check and see what information is to be shown for each member listed . (Edit by: Lucas)

// ===========================================================================================



$show['display_birthday'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 1);

$show['display_age'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 2);

$show['display_joindate'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 4);

$show['display_postcount'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 8);

$show['display_usertitle'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 16);

$show['display_lastvisit'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 32);

$show['display_avatar'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 64);

$show['display_onlinestatus'] = bitwise($vboptions['buddieslist_profiledisplayoptions'], 128);

And paste it after this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'])

{

KTBleeding · #97 04-09-2005, 04:45 PM

Same error. So far it has only happened on two user accounts, but I've only tried about eight of them.

Obviously, the error line has moved down to 565 now.

SS9267547 · #98 04-09-2005, 04:45 PM

I didn't think that would work lol. Anyway try doing this instead, find:

PHP Code:


			
// ######################### REQUIRE BACK-END ############################

require_once('./global.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_showthread.php');

require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');

After that insert the following:

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./includes/functions_misc.php');

I think I forgot to add that. Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Update: Zip file has been updated.

Note: The install zip has been updated.

Hey does this fix a avatar issue? If not I find now in the profile pages that users who do not have an avatar get a x.
curious indeed. (example here.)

SS9267547 · #**100** 04-09-2005, 05:05 PM

No it doesn't, that fixes the problem when members don't have buddies by adding a table that says they have no buddies at this time, just a typo that I made.

I can't see the link since I don't have permisssion too.

With members that don't have a avatar they are give a defualt one, now remember that you will need to upload one to /images/misc/ to have it work.
