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!

Help

The avatars show up when BOTH users are eachother's buddy's..

The list on the left is the buddys you have on your list.. the list on the right is the list of members that have YOU on their list.. but you don't have them.. Click the add button [+] next to the members to add them to your list.. once you are on eachother's list.. you will see the avatars!

I understand that there is a link to veiw more buddies, but I wanted to make the "Buddies(##)" also link in the same way as "alle Anziegen". The fine print "alle Anziegen" link isn't very obvious, where as if the "Buddies(##)" was also a link, it would become more obvious that you can view more friends.

I'm not sure where to go and edit the code for this area. Do I go into plugin manager, or should I go into replacement variable area or somewhere else?

It's hit or miss on if the avatar shows up.

What is up with that?

When I answer my own questions, I like to come back and answer them for anyone else that may have the same question so here it is . . .

Go to Admin CP >> Plugin System >> Plugin Manager >> Click on [edit] Friends and/or Buddies in Profile >> then . . . .

(cut & paste into note pad the Plugin PHP Code, and use the find feature)

You need to find this line:

$FNB_HTML .= "<td class=\"tcat\" colspan=\"2\">".($vbulletin->options['fnb_show_friends'] ? $vbphrase['fnb_friends'] : $vbphrase['fnb_buddies']).( ($vbulletin->options['fnb_show_counts']) ? " (".count($FNB_choice).")" : "" )."</td>";

and replace it with this line:

$FNB_HTML .= "<td class=\"tcat\" colspan=\"2\">"."<a href=\"".$vbulletin->options['bburl']."/member.php?u=".$userinfo['userid']."&showall=1\">".($vbulletin->options['fnb_show_friends'] ? $vbphrase['fnb_friends'] : $vbphrase['fnb_buddies'])."</a>".( ($vbulletin->options['fnb_show_counts']) ? " (".count($FNB_choice).")" : "" )."</td>";

and that will make it so when your buddy has more than x amount of friends, you can click on "Friends (xx)" and it will link the same way as the very small, not so obvious text in the bottom right of the table that says show all.

:banana: :banana: :banana:

P.S. Here's an example of how you can click on "Friends(xx)" so it's linkable. Nothing very exciting, just a link.

Thanks for this, it works like a charm.

Also I wanted to share something with everyone else. I for one wanted the lists to be randomized instead of the usernames be in alphabet order. So all I did was to change

PHP Code:

ORDER BY username 


to

PHP Code:

ORDER BY RAND()

When users clicks "Show All" it opens;
http://www.domain.com/members/admin.html

Is there a way to automatically add new members to my buddy list when they sign up?
