vBBuddies

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!

Do you plan on porting this to vB3.5?

[Lord Brar]

If only I could come and hug you releasing it to the community! THis is just what I was desparately longing for

Khent: At this time I'll have to say no since this was designed for use on my site and I don't have any plans on moving to 3.5 becuase that would mean doing a dozen other scripts that I'm working on. But then again you never know.

Lord Brar: Your welcome!

You mean that you won't upgrade when 3.5 gold comes out?

[SS9267547]

Lol yes unless I'm in the mood or there is a high demand on it hehe.

what determines who the automated private message notification come from when someone is added to your buddy list?

right now mine come from an Administrator, userid=1, but i wanted them to come from another Admin.

[SS9267547]

illPhever open up your profile.php, find the buddies pm function and look for this line:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext (fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature, allowsmilie) values ('1', '" . addslashes($vbphrase['autosystemmessage']) . "', '" . addslashes($subject) . "', '" . addslashes($message) . "', '".addslashes($serializedinfo)."', '4', '" . TIMENOW ."', '1', '1')");[/ 


Now say you want to have the message be by userid '22' well then you would replace that line so it looks like this:

PHP Code:

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext (fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature, allowsmilie) values ('22', '" . addslashes($vbphrase['autosystemmessage']) . "', '" . addslashes($subject) . "', '" . addslashes($message) . "', '".addslashes($serializedinfo)."', '4', '" . TIMENOW ."', '1', '1')"); 


Hope that help and works for you!
