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!

[Veer]

[Endurer]

Saad it's working with my 3.6.1 so it's supposed to work with 3.6.0 as well.

Hmm thanks for reply
okay Let me a try...

[Veer]

Yes, its working fine in vb 3.6.0

Thanks, but try update this great hack to vb 3.6 as soon as possible

All the best.

Yeah this would be very good to have for 3.6. You can install another forum for testing, but you i dont think you are allowed to tell anyone the link. soo it is possible to set it up on 3.6

[HPIA]

Awesome hack. Wow.

[Trana]

This seems to be a great hack, but for a lot of my members the profile page shows up as blank, so I am guessing that there is something in the code that fails when a certain variable is empty.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Thanks.

[Cocko]

seems to be a great hack.
till now i couldn't test.

anyone working on version for 3.6 ?

Maybe I get some time to port this to 3.6 on the upcoming weekend. But it'll be only for 3.6.0 because our upgrade licence ran out and that is the latest version I can get (I think we'll get the update Extension next year).
