The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Automatically Add a New User to Their Referrer's Buddy List · **Released**: 03-20-2005

This one was done by request. It's a simple, easy to install hack that will take you less than 5 minutes to install. No screenshots because there's nothing to shoot.

If a new person registers at your board and lists an existing member as a referrer, this will automatically add the new user to the referrer's buddy list. And, the honor will be automatically reciprocated.

This is a great hack for beginners to try because it involves only one file edit and no templates, phrases, or database changes.

Enjoy

Wow... I cant belive someone did me a favour on this site.
Acutally almost everyone that posted above me has helped me on this site also Kentarous (spelling) and one or two others... besides the admin...
Thank you! the site I am working on is almost 90% done now.

ok here is the deal. two guys added a girl on my site as friends. she does not know one and HATES the other. I guess they saw her profile as a guest.

>sigh<

Sooooo now she is asking that NOT to happen anymore.

I told her to simply just remove them as friends. I have also that vbfriends hack.

ok is there a hack (I think this has to be moded if there is) that pm's a user that so and so just added you as a friend. do you want to do the same kind of thing.

that way girls dont have a mob of guys as friends they dont even know.
Same for guys... dont want the wife saying who the hell is that.
and he says I dont know her.
But you have her as a friend!!!!!
:bored: (I'll pack my things....)

Let me know. Thanks.

Well a referer and a buddy may not be the same to some folks.

I didn't read the code, but put a checkbox there, if you have not already, asking if they want the referer added to the buddy list. :smoke:

Noppid, personally I agree that they're not the same thing, which is why I didn't install this hack. I just write em. Don't always use em.

best bed would be to add an option in their profile and enclose all of amy's work in a condtional dependant on that option
