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.

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>

this is a nice hack... anyway to get a user wants to be on friendslist request going?

holy... damn j.jacobsen thank you so much for the extra plugin, but it doesnt show up.

I've attached the plugin xml file. You need to edit the text in the php code, if you don't like german. Maybe this will get extended with phrases to a full product. You need to add

PHP Code:

$FRIENDFOES 


somewhere in your MEMBERINFO template, wherever you like to have it displayed.

I've also attached a screenshot how it would look like.

thanks for doing that up

Well actually I did a typo in my post. Please take care you use $FRIENDSFOES in your MEMBERINFO template not $FRIENDFOES. I've edited my post, too.

[Wordplay]

a typo??? ouch... thank you though, and welcome to the site... that's a good way to get started.

jacobsen, is there a way i can get the list of "aus den buddylisten von" and "s buddylist" out of there and just display all the buddies in common? meaning the ones showed above with pix, and not the rest in the profile? uebrigends solltest du vielleicht ein ' einfuegen vor "s Freunde". damit da nicht steht jacobs freunde sondern jacob's freunde.

Yes, there is, you just have to remove the specific part of the code in the plugin, which would be

PHP Code:

<tr>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "<td class=\"thead\" width=\"50%\">$userinfo[username]s Buddyliste ($outcounter)</td>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "<td class=\"thead\" width=\"50%\">$userinfo[username] ist auf den Buddylisten von ($incounter)<br>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "</tr><tr>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "<td class=\"alt2\" valign=\"top\"><div class=\"smallfont\">$outuserlist</div></td>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "<td class=\"alt2\" valign=\"top\"><div class=\"smallfont\">$inuserlist</div></td>";
$FRIENDSFOES .= "</tr> 


(At the end of the php code in the plugin)

OT:

In Deutschland gibts das ' nicht, das ist eine amerikanisch/englische Sache. Manche Deutsche verwenden das unwissentlich ^^

i own a german board too but my users still use the ' guess it's getting around these days... anyways, thanks alot i'd give you some rep but that isn't possible on this site, so i'll just say you're the man of the day.

[jj]

Actually you should thank Cloud-Warrior, because its just his Coding re-packed into a plugin

[Wordplay]

i already did that. by the way i linked to your plug in on some other thread, and a couple of people there already installed it and uploaded attachments or shared their links... so you can see how it looks on other sites.

it took me almost 20 minutes to see that I havent slept in 2 days :ninja:

I was wondering why it wasnt showing up, there was no errors, nothing, I put in $friendfoes and nothing would shouw up,

its only when i didnt want to scroll down and find the text when i did ctrl+f and pasted the original source in there that I got confused when it said it couldent find it. then I almost slapped myself

Hey guys, could someone translate that into english? I got it sorta working, have some problems with getting the user avatar to show up.
