I would love to see a mod on the SMF profile screen so a person's buddy list could be visibly seen and look just like a MySpace top friends list.  You know, the top 8, 16, 32 etc... where it shows a thumbnail of the friend and is hyperlinked to to their profile.  That would be a SWEET mod!   :P

I actually wrote this mod quite some time ago, but it needs to be re-written. When I get some time I will do it.

Should this be on the same page as the other profile stuff or on a separate page?

if you want to see how it looks at the moment you can check out the following.  I have improved the code a bit from it's previous incarnation but it still needs work, but it does work. I'm not sure how much more I can improve it at the moment, but it's safe and it works.

Basically everything is in Profile.php and you just place the function wherever in the profile.template you want it. I haven't tested it yet but it should give pages if there are lots of buddies. I may need some people to try it and see if it works

Would you want it to go down the column or like it is at the moment effectively expanding that column?

perplexed

I suppose it would depend on how many buddies people ended up having.  Not expanding it would mean you wouldnt have to scroll to see them but then if they ended up with a long list...

Please note that it is still in beta at the moment and you should backup your site before testing.

Sorry what do I have to do?  I went there but I didnt see the mod?

never mind, I looked as a guest and couldnt see the attachment.  I've registered for the other mod and  I downloaded this now too - thanks

Next to add for this, would be permissions.  Once you decide on a placement for it, allow admins to set user-based permissions.

If you combined this with the Simple Blog author, you'd end with quite a powerful mod :) Currently, I'm using this with "profile comments" mod and "Custom Profile Fields" mod.  Helps make a nice setup, similar to a MySpace :D

Hope you keep up the great work!

doesnt it just use the buddy list permissions which are already there?   I suppose I could test it and see if it switches this off.

The mod author has both this and his Simple Blog replacement on his site and they look great together :)

I have this with profile comments, custom profile fields and gallery :)

You are correct it will use the buddy list permissions.

this is pretty nice, but I did have to do some tinkering with it...

all in all, REALLY nice, had it in place all of 10mins, and people already commented about the new "feature" on their profiles!

THANKS!

Well, it could be improved. I  wrote it about a year ago, but made some changes before I released this version. (I have learnt a lot since then.) It still could be improved and when I get some time I will work on it some more.

Works for me.

I cant find a buddy list that works with 1.1.5, is there a download link for this one still available?  I tried the forum in the link and couldnt find it.
