[RELEASE v2] Pop-up Buddy List

[mrlister]

Download the instructions below. I added some new features and made it so it fuses nicely with your vB. The reason why it's in a file is because this vB changes all variables into it's own #______.

Nice im using it at
http://www.iguanaland.com

I didnt take much time to mess with it but does it not use styles form the cp? The reason i ask is it comes up vb purple and i have changed all my colors.

Thanks

I had a problem, but I got it! I just downloaded it wrong. I had to right click on the above attachment and "save target as" buddy.txt. Whenever I clicked on the attachment and saved, then uploaded I got errors. All fixed now! Great hack, and so easy to implement!
Thanks,
TigerLily:)

Thanks man that is great!

One tiny detail though, can you make it so it uses the same CSS as the board.
On the profile buddy list it does, but the one on the pop up uses the default alink, vlink etc..

[mrlister]

done

[conan]

Thanks a lot man!

[conan]

Still not showing the same style as the board for me :(

[mrlister]

download the new files it should work

[conan]

I just downloaded the new file, overwrote everything I had and still not working :(

Is this for 2.0? What's the difference between this and what already comes with 2.0 beta 5? Would it be possible to see a gif of what this hack looks like?

[mrlister]

this is for two and it's a pop up. conan make sure to read the file. the file is instuctions and it works perfectly on mine but check again.

You can see something similar by going to SitePointforums.com and clicking on "Launch Buddy List" in your personal features toolbar.

You will have to be a registered member to do this.

I have uninstalled and installed this hack again 1000 times, I'm sure I'm following the exact directions, but the styles won't show properly.

The who posted hack by kier works fine with the styles and all it's beyond me why this isn't working :(

[mrlister]

well i'm not really sure try looking for stuff like #______ in the buddy_main and changing it to {f irstaltcolor} and stuff like that.

How would I make the color of the username, pm function, and delete function text the same as the rest of my forum? Red not hovered; blue hovered?

[Joshs]

Another problem is that the window doesnt resize if the list is long...

[conan]

It resizes on mine, it doesn't scroll though, for you to enable scrolls you must change scrollbars=no to scrollbars=yes on forumhome template

[Joshs]

Here is my code... I dont know what to change to fix it...



<!-- Buddy -->
<script language="JavaScript">
function popup(url, window_name, window_width, window_height)
{ settings=
"toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,"+
"status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,"+
"resizable=yes,width="+window_width+",height="+window_height;

NewWindow=window.open(url,window_name,settings); }
</script>
<!-- End Buddy -->




<!--Buddy--><br><a href="#"
onclick="popup('buddy.php', 'Window', 160, 200);">Launch Buddy List</a><!-- End Buddy-->

Take a look at what conan wrote there:

scrollbars=yes

now find where it says scrollbars=no in the code you just posted. There's your answer.

change scrollbars=no to scrollbars=yes

I want to be able view the Buddy List from any page within the Forums. Also, a few buttons are needed:

A "Refresh List" button
A "Close" button

Thanks for the cool hack!
