Add User to Buddy/Ignore List in Post Menu

Add User to Buddy/Ignore List in Post Menu

I figured out how to do this without file edits with a little help from Cloudrunner and KirbyDE.

What is it? Just a little mod to replace the static "Add (user) to your Buddy List" menu option on the username drop-down menu with "Add (user) to your Buddy List" and "Add (user) to your Ignore List" (if the user isn't already on the list) and "Remove (user) from your Buddy List" and "Remove (user) from your Ignore List" if they are.

It's just three steps: A few new phrases and two template edits.

1. Create these phrases (How to add a phrase):

Phrase Type: Postbit
Varname: remove_x_from_buddylist
Text: Remove {1} from Your Buddy List

Phrase Type: Postbit
Varname: add_x_to_ignorelist
Text: Add {1} to Your Ignore List

Phrase Type: Postbit
Varname: remove_x_from_ignorelist
Text: Remove {1} from Your Ignore List


2. In phpinclude_start template, ADD (at the bottom):

PHP Code:

// Global postbit conditionals
$buddyarray = explode(' ', $bbuserinfo['buddylist']);
$ignorearray = explode(' ', $bbuserinfo['ignorelist']); 


3. In postbit template, FIND:

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>

REPLACE with:

<if condition="!in_array($post['userid'], $GLOBALS['buddyarray'])">
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
		<else />
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removelist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[remove_x_from_buddylist]</phrase></a></td></tr>
		</if> 
		<if condition="!in_array($post['userid'], $GLOBALS['ignorearray'])">
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=ignore&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_ignorelist]</phrase></a></td></tr>
		<else />
			<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removelist&amp;userlist=ignore&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[remove_x_from_ignorelist]</phrase></a></td></tr>
		</if>

That's all there is to it!

How would I go about doing this in reverse? If they have me on ignore do (conditional)

What I want to do is have this global so when a user is on ignore they can not see things... like say my msn info, email PM buttons. stuff like this.

Please advise. Thanks!
