Buddy Page

[Arantor]

Are buddy lists enabled on your site?

[Afro]

yes,

cpan >>features n options >> Enable buddy lists. checked

[Arantor]

Weird, very weird. Please can you attach your Load.php file here?

For reasons unknown, the list of buddies is not being loaded properly during Load.php, which is causing this error.

[Afro]

here is the file

[Afro]

maybe this could help.

I uninstalled it and installed the other buddy list mod.

It shows the same error but this tile it added something like

expecting (buddy_list).

i checked on the database but no table like buddy_list there.

[Arantor]

Interesting, very interesting. Something is askew inside SMF then...

Both mods draw on the same place; it's not a table but a column in it.

If you check smf_settings, you'll find a long list of entries across the two columns in it, one of which should be 'enable_buddylist' on the left - is that listed and what does it say?

it is listed there .    enable_buddylist     1 .  i opened  it and the value is one

[Arantor]

OK... now in the smf_members table, find your own row (by your user id, typically 1) and see the value for the buddy_list column. What does that contain? (Please feel free to PM me that if you're not willing to post it publicly, given that it would be able to identify everyone on your buddy list if they were to sign up on your forum)

I saw something like this there

''''4,9,11,137,22,2978,3,119,6,134,4225,4223,5537,...

[Arantor]

In quotes?

[Afro]

In quotes?

i dont get what you mean here please.

meanwhile i see i have only 4 people on my buddy list according to my profile.
yet i see many member id numbers here on the database

[Arantor]

Well, you've put "" at the start. Did it have that in the field, or was it just a list of numbers with commas?

oh yes. i just copied and pasted it the way it is there

[Arantor]

That shouldn't be there.

Do other users have "" too? (I don't want the numbers, just want to know if "" is there too)

[Afro]

hmm, others dont have the quotes, i was gonna tell you that now because i just looked closely.
i will remove the quotes and see what i will get

[Afro]

Ok, the buddy page is showing up now.
Thanks a lot.

[Arantor]

Good to know, though I'm also curious where the "" came from. Let me know if it happens again.

[Afro]

Here is the scenario at the moment. I use Ultimate profile which i think has its own buddy structure.
The people i see on my buddy page are different from the people i added on my buddy list after installing ultimate profile.

what can i do about that ?

[Arantor]

I don't know anything about Ultimate Profile, but if it does use something different I guess Buddy Page would have to be rewritten.

Great Mod Arantor!!

Sorry, I never actually used the Ultimate Profile mod before, so can't help ya with that one Afro
