vBFriendsBrowser 1.0.1 · **Released**: 03-18-2008

vBFriendsBrowser for vBulletin 3.7
----------------------------------
Created by Marius Czyz aka Phalynx.

This mod will work *ONLY* with vBulletin 3.7 or higher. It will not run on vBulletin 3.6.x due to non existent feature of "friends". I don't plan to create this mod for vBulletin's 3.6.x Buddies.

Description
This small addition will show friends of a user in a circle-like view. The user is centered in the middle, all his confirmed friends are grouped around him. It's similar to vBulletin's own view, with the difference that all (currently max 33) friends are shown. You can click on a friend to see his friends. A click on the highlighted user brings you back to his profile.

Demo
http://www.insidesupcom.de/friends.php?u=1&langid=1

If there are requests regarding a social network feature I could include this. It would contain a view which would show over how many connections I know a particular guy.

Installation/Upgrade
This product has 1 additional file, is fully phrased and uses template hooks. No file changes or manual template edits needed.
1. Upload the file friends.php from "upload" to the root of your forum.
2. Import the main product

Cool mod and a good idea.

A suggestion if i may. When i go to your demo, and i click the top left most user (mensi) it all displays fine, but to get back to user Phalynx, it is now the bottom left most. It should be bottom right, showing the direction of the click thru from where we come from. If that is possible.

Would be really cool, but I have no clue how to realize that within the SQL-Logic. All other things would eat up to many performance.

really interesting Marius ...

I knew sooner or later someone was going to make this for 3.7. Nice job.

Is it necessary to have the Show all friends and browse friends...what's the difference between the two.
But a nice mod though.

This is pretty cool. I'm going to install it right after upgrading to RC1, but I marked as installed already. ;-) Thanks!

One of them is a profil browser, the other one is a friends browser. Without clicking on profile, friends, without additionally scrolling through pages....

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
