We Want To Demo Or Screenshot

Hey!
I have a question. Is it possible that you can modify the hack that it choose random users of the userids I write in the settings?
Because I have 5-7 useres that should ad at as Buddy but not all, only one.
I hope you can do that.

Thanks.

No sorry

[daloosaa]

Sure, that's possible!

Replace

$zhbuddy = $vbulletin->options['zh_buddy_id'];

with:

$ids_to_array = preg_split('/ /', $vbulletin->options['zh_buddy_id']);
$arraysize = count($ids_to_array) -1;
$selector = rand(0, $arraysize);
$zhbuddy = $ids_to_array[$selector];

Note: This is not tested yet (i had the same idea as you in the past 5 minutes), but should work.

EDIT:
It works - tested.

[Charmedfan]

Thx I will test it in the next weeks.

Two questions:

Would the new registrated users also buddies of the user IDs I write in the settings?

Is it maybe possible that the users of the IDs in the settings get a PN when a new buddy would added?

Thanks again for your work!

No, your new registered user will not become an buddy of your default buddy. But this might be changed by adding a MySQL query.

Is it maybe possible that the users of the IDs in the settings get a PN when a new buddy would added?

There's an mod out there, that will send a PM when a user adds someone to his buddylist. BUT: I think this modification won't work, because this (Default Buddy) mod writes the buddy-ID directly into the database.

An other way: Add a MySQL query that writes a PM directly into the database. This might work.

Greetings,
