Friendlist and Blocklist + Msg URLs to Members

In this tutorial you will be able to keep track of your friends and ignore people.

This tutorial is quite long so bear with me.

First let's SQL the blocklist. You should have the tables `friends` and `friend_requests` from new2old's Friend System.

Code

CREATE TABLE `blocklist` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`foe` varchar(225) NOT NULL default '',
`username` varchar(225) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;


Ok, now its time to create your Friend list. Call this my_friends.php

If you have at least one friend, it will show up. If not it will say "You have no friends."

From there you have two options - Message them or Remove from friendlist.

Now onto the Blocklist. Lets name this file blocklist.php

}
echo "</table></center>";
}
break;
}

?>


Now for go to where you show your member's profile (usually members.php) and find

PHP Code
1
2
//if it does exist then show there profile
$user = mysql_fetch_array($getuser);


and below it add:

PHP Code
1
2
3
4
$getfoe = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `blocklist` WHERE `foe` = '$user[username]'");
$en = mysql_fetch_array($getfoe); 
$getfriend = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `friends` WHERE `friendname` = '$user[username]'");
$fa = mysql_fetch_array($getfriend);

then in the same file find: where it has like Age, Location, email, etc.

and add:

PHP Code
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
";
if ($user[username] == $fa[friendname]){
    echo "<a href='http://sodadome.com/my_friends.php?page=delete&amp;user=$user[username]'><img src='http://sodadome.com/scp/user_add.png' border='0' title='Remove from friendlist'></a>";
    }else{
        echo "<a href='friendrequest.php?user=$user[username]'><img src='http://sodadome.com/scp/user_add.png' border='0' title='Add as friend'></a>";
    }
if ($user[username] == $en[foe]){
    echo "<a href='blocklist.php?page=delete&amp;user=$user[username]'><img src='http://sodadome.com/scp/user_block.png' border='0' title='Unblock user'></a>";
    }else{
        echo "<a href='members.php?page=block&amp;user=$user[username]'><img src='http://sodadome.com/scp/user_block.png' border='0' title='Block user'></a>";
    }
echo "<a href='members.php?page=msgto&amp;user=$user[id]'><img src='http://sodadome.com/scp/email_go.png' border='0' title='Send Message'></a></td></tr></table>";
echo "


Then upload it. Right-click the 3 images (add, ignore, message) and save as own and edit the image files in the php file above.

Ok now stay on same file (members.php) and find:

PHP Code
1
echo "$user[username]'s Profile


and add above it:

PHP Code
1
2
3
4
if ($logged[username] == $en[foe]){
    echo "<b>Error:</b> This user has blocked you.";
    }else{


then at the end of your PHP script where it says ?> add an extra }

Ok now to pms.php (or where you have your PM inbox stored)

Find

PHP Code
1
2
$to = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST[to]))); //who its to
$from = $logged[username]; //who its from


and add above it:

PHP Code
1
2
$getfoe = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `blocklist` WHERE `foe` = '$logged[username]'");
$en = mysql_fetch_array($getfoe);


Now find... in case 'compose':
PHP Code
1
$do = mysql_query("INSERT INTO `privates` (`to`,`from`,`date`,`subject`,`content`,`sendself`) VALUES ('" . $to . "','" . $from . "','" . $date . "','" . $subject . "','" . $msg . "','" . $cc . "');") or die(mysql_error()); //insert into the table!


and above it add:

PHP Code
1
2
3
if ($_POST[send] && $_POST[to] == $en[username]){
    echo "<b>Error:</b> This user has blocked you from sending any PMs to you.";
    }else{


Now in the break; of case 'compose' add an extra } before it to close the else tag.

Now repeat the steps started from where it says 'find pms.php' and add the same thing to case 'view':.

now find:
PHP Code
1
</form>"; //echo the rest of the form


So yeah, thats about it. Post your errors, if any. You get.

Thanks for your time.

[/Code]

I can't seem to get the myfriends.php to work at all. All I get is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in myfriends.php on line 46

Any help would be great! :)

and you need to change the following or it will block youself from viewing your own profile and let you view people who have blocked you's profiles

Code
$getfoe = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `blocklist` WHERE `foe` = '$user[username]'");


to

Code
$getfoe = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `blocklist` WHERE `username` = '$user[username]'");

well for 1 why use so many else functions in this scipt why not just use a simple

Code


if ($_POST[send] && $_POST[to] == $en[username]){
echo "<b>Error:</b> This user has blocked you from sending any PMs to you.";
}
{
}


that way ya dont get the telse error
