vBFriends - View your social network and surf to others in vBulletin 3.5

As with vBFOAF, I've just released this mod. (There are no modications needed really, so it's more of an add-on.)

Please note that your buddy list becomes public (to other registered users) with vBFriends, so you will have to notify people of the small change in policy.

Put the attached file in your vbulletin folder, and call with the u=1 parameter, e.g.

http://www.vbulletin.ie/forums/friends.php?u=1

You can surf your social network (similar to orkut), and view connections you have made to others and that others have made to you (similar to FOAF, or as illustrated with plink.org).

Screenshot attached.

The code contains some hardcoded HTML to avoid the use of templates (for now), but it uses standard vB3 CSS classes such as tcat, thead, smallfont, alt1 and alt2 - so should be fine with most styles.

Changelog:

PHP Code:

// 0.1 - 2004-06-23 - First version
// 0.2 - 2004-06-24 - Added missing trailing slash

// 1.2 - 2005-11-24 - Updated for the vB 3.5 series 


I have edited my postbit/postbit_legacy template, and linked it from there, e.g. under the reputation part, add in something like:

<a class="smallfont" href="friends.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">Friends</a>

Yeah that'd be awesome, please do so. I wanna use the same vertical display for my friends page.

Here's my file - trust me - you better know something about the code before you try and use it - haha, I have a bunch of shit hardcoded into it just for my site. I don't really have any time to help with anything either - so - yeah, hope it helps.

This is the final page: http://www.absolutepunk.net/friends.php?u=1083

Is there anyway to remove a wannabe? Like a full on "denial" of friend thing?

Same question

[vitrag24]

for 3.6.4?

[Cloud-Warrior]

Yep, it'll work just fine with vB 3.6 (I use it at www.boards.jp).

[yoyoyoyo]

this does not play well with 3.6.8 with vb blog installed:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function blog_online_location_preprocess() in /home/mysite/public_html/forum/includes/functions_online.php(1057) : eval()'d code on line 1

[squishi]

Ditto. See above. blog_online_location_preprocess() error
