Profile Enhancements - Automatically Add Friend

Introduction
This modification acts somewhat like Myspace. When you register on Myspace, the creator of Myspace (Tom) is automatically added as a friend (mutually). This acts the same way on your forum by adding any number of users (user IDs required) to the new users friend list. This is completely mutual, but now has the option to be a non-mutual friendship.

This was coded by request in this thread.

Requirements

• vBulletin 3.7.x (This should work on ALL betas & RCs!)

Installation

1. Upload the attached product file by following this path:
   ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product]
2. Head over to the vBulletin options, open up the "User Registration Options", and set a list of users under the "Automatically Add Friends" option.
3. Enjoy!

Thanks for the fix TigerC10!

For anyone that needs it (right click and save):

lol

I could have done that by making my own XML file, I just didn't want to step on King Kovifor's toes by making it.

I still recommend going to page 17 and applying the fixes yourself. It gets you more used to looking for the problems yourself so that you don't have to wait for someone to come along with an XML update.

He can remove the link if he wants! After all.....he IS a moderator!!

But aren't we expecting to get the xml without errors???

I wouldn't have minded. Now I can just borrow it.

That's abuse of power in my book. It's not breaking any rules, so we technically don't have any reason to edit it. Hence, I won't.

Thanks!

BTW, I noticed that the only error (albeit very tiny) is that the "friend" does not appear in my list with the "+" like the others that were added manually.

Any ideas??

Hm. I'll have to look into that.

Anything on this yet?

[King Kovifor]

I really haven't had time to develop much. vBTwitter was meant to be a longer project. I'm in the middle of a research paper that is taking up a lot of time.

I have an idea. The + mark indicates that they are in your contact list, from the days before "friend lists". You can put people in your contact list, without requesting them as friends. I think there have to be two entries to the database instead of just one - one for the contacts as well as one for the "buddy" status.

Where and how do I add it?
