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!

You can't set the number of friends per row by resolutions. There's a setting in the acp options to limit the number, which is being used for any resolution.

All I really did was chop out a lot of code and change the html to my preference. :P

Anyway, switched and working pretty well (though I now hate working with phrases :P)

Is there a function to display the counts of friends for the linked users as in Cloud-Warrior's hack that I'm missing? That was actually my prime reason for asking here for help in the first case, is that it broke from the original plugin.

I've implemented a URL rewrite rule so my users can have domain.com/profiles/username (instead of it being /forums/username). This works fine except the user's avatar and photo doesn't show up because it's using a relative URL domain.com/users/image.php?u=2&dateline=1142257186 instead of a specific URL of domain.com/forums/image.php?u=2&dateline=1142257186

How do I set the avatar and photo URLs to be specific and always use domain.com/forums/ in the URL?

I am using this hack and so far workds great. the question I have is that I choose to display the profile pic instead of the avatar. No doing so if the member does NOT have a profile pic it show nothing but the members name... NOW if I revert and choose to use the avator and the members does not have an avatar then it will show an image saying members does not have an avatar.

So my question is HOW can I have it so that if a member does not have a profile pic it will display an defualt image as it does for the avatars?

First of all: Press install ^^
Second: If you read thru the thread you would find out, that it is not possible to show an alternative if a member does not have a profile picture.

Thats because I only use the vb way, and do not set the url on my own. Can't help you with that.

Sorry I clicked install must of forgot.
No need to be so worked up over nothing.. Why cant a default inage be displayed rather then a blank, It works for avatars?

If you look through this thread Code Red (I think) has posted his version of the MEMBERINFO template which shows a default image if the user doesn't have a photo in their profile.
