Friends and/or Buddies on Profile · **Released**: 12-16-2006

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

Code:

<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:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldXX] == yes">$FNB_HTML</if>

(if user wishes to show up)
or

HTML Code:

<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!

TODO

Looking into avatar/profilepicture display/detection
Online status of friends/buddies

I have a question again

Im using profilepics not avatars, but it does not show noavatar.gif even if i change clear.gif to noavatar.gif. I think it only shows that for only missing avatars. Is there a way to set it to show it when there is no profilepic?

I am missing the whole section with Friends listing. All I get is the Buddylist, and Buddy of part. I have played around with the Friends/Buddies in Profile options in Admin area, tried installing and reinstalling this mod. I have checked that I use the database to store my avatars.

Any ideas here? I see a few others had this problem too but no answers yet. I would love to get the friends/avatars bit showing.

Make sure you are on the others Buddylists, too. Then it'll show up

I've explained that this is not possible in the other thread for the 3.5.x version. But I will check if that is now possible in the 3.6.x vb.

not yet

I'm currently updating our forum to 3.6.5

jj · #59 04-20-2007, 08:44 PM

As I'm done with installing the 3.6.5 version of our vb, I raised the supported version number to 3.6.5 because it's still working

My only suggestion to improve this hack would be to add a pagination to the buddy list so, that when someone has 2000 friends it doesn't take forever to load a profile. Also, online status for each buddy would be great.

Yes, these are great additions and I'm going to implement them
