VbBuddies RC 1

Hey,
This is basicly a port of the vbbuddies for vb 3.0.x you can find here:
Also all screenshots you can find here
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=816720

Altough I have added an approve wannebee option and maybe more will be added in the future.

For people who don't know vbbuddies for 3.0.x:
vbbuddies gives every user a page with his buddys, they can set whether it's public or not.
You can set for every usergroup if they can see the buddy page and you can also set what to show on the page and some other options.
Vbbuddies only show people if you have added them and they have added you. If there is only one link, the user shows up as a wannabee and the other one can see the wannabees and add them as buddys...


This is a beta, but I tested it on a 3.5.0 and 3.5.1 and it worked, but you never know.

That i'de like to found out

I've been working on my copy all day... I've pretty much got it working, except for a bug or two... i haven't EVEN started on the PM thing yet. I figured I'd try and get it at least somewhat rigged until waza has a chance to get it working again

What I am accomplishing is redoing the "list buddies in profile" plugin to show X number of buddies instead of listing online, offline, and wannabes.... (kinda like myspace) and added the "view all buddies" link in that table.

I'll keep you guys updated.

That'd be great - the bug for approving buddies if you don't have anyone on your list, really needs to be fixed.

Can I make a feature suggestion? Make it so when John adds Mary to his buddy list, it doesn't actually do the add UNTIL mary clicks "approve" in her notification PM, (or wannabe list). Just like a myspace thing

Also, How can I show X number of OVERALL buddies in the members profile? not sorted by online or offline, but just like in the buddies.php file? but maybe only X number (maybe a My Top 5 buddies).

Waiting for that function...

What do I need to add if I want to add the online and offline buddies like on the memberinfo to the USERCP

yeah, I know, but finally a big project of me is finished, I worked on the hack yesterday and we're getting there, lets say 90% done.

[forte]

Any updates on this?

[forte]

So this hack is abandoned cause people are having multiple buddies of the same users like one user has me thrice in the online buddies.

[noonespecial]

Any update at all? Anything would be great.

Lately, I've been seeing that people's buddylists are emptying and going to need approval status for no reason.

[waza]

yeah, srry, I really don't find time, I keep getting other work week after week.
But now a lot of jobs are done, I go on holiday next week and after, I'll try to do an update.
