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
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
$FNB_HTML:
HTML:
<if condition="$userinfo[fieldXX] == yes">$FNB_HTML</if>
(if user wishes to show up)
or
HTML:
<if condition="$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
- ?SEO compatibility?
