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

Cool. Thanks jj. It would be so great have the two incorporated.

I just have a couple of problems. The first one is the pagination system and the buddy (or friends) count. I'm finding that if there are enough friends or buddies to split into two or more pages the count is right and so are the avatars that show up. The problem is that when a member has less than the amount of buddies (or friends) to show up on two or more pages, one of the buddies (or friends doesn't appear). For example, if a member has two buddies, the count will say 2 buddies, but it will only show one of them... then if another buddy is added the count will change accordingly but the buddy just added won't show up until another buddy is added. This is no longer a problem when there are more buddies added and it splits into two pages... any idea why that would be happening?

Hope the above makes sense. It seems to be a pagination problem.

...and also I have noticed that when the "Links to the profiles of friends/buddies by ID?" is set to no, the link is incorrect and doesn't go to the buddies profile.

Thanks again for all your work jj.

Cheers

Clancy

All teh headings are missing...
for example instead of it saying "rossco is a buddy of: (6)" it just says "(6)"

Hm. Which vb Version you are using?

Anyone else with this problem? I've tested a lot to get this work.

Hopefully fixed.

I had the older version working without problems. Updated, installed overwrote the german product but doesnt show up in memberinfo only in admincp. Deleted product and installed again, but no difference.

rossco_2005 · #76 05-06-2007, 01:12 PM

Fixed. Sorry, it was another plugin affecting your init_startup plugin.
Wierd.

Managed to find a real bug though...the remove buddy/add buddy phrases are backwards. :P

shokmuzik.com · #77 05-06-2007, 03:41 PM

Fixed. Installed the english version and it worked, installed the german product over the english one and it worked, too.

Weird. I had no problems with the german version on my test board and on our board itself.

Sorry, I noticed more bugs...

First, you are already grabbing all buddies' avatar info from the DB in one query, but then for each friend you are fetching the avatr info again meaning each friend adds another query to the page...
I'd provide more info/a fix to you for this but your code is sorta all over the place and the var names are not constant, so it's too confusing for me to trace it...
Anyway, it works great so if you're not going to fix that I'll keep this installed anyway, until I can find my own fix.
