Simple Embeddable Contact List

[Boy_Wonder]

This could also be used to allow members to have a 'favourite' list of people they want to contact. 

The basic premise on the profile of a member who is not themselves is a new button, preferably admin set up - with the default message of "add contact" at which point it would store at the minimum on a super user key the name, link to the profile and their online/offline status (based on what the profile/infocenter/post list mini profile offers). If possible the user avatar as well but that is optional

This information would then be displayed at any point on the board that its set up to in format of:

Name (Status)

If an avatar is also stored: [Avatar] Name (Status)

Tagging Peter as this is one of my ideas from yesterday I can put some mock ups of this idea as well if you want

Since we chatted, I got busy, so doubt I will be able to do this anytime soon.

What sucks is the friends list could be used if it contained the display name, as that is available in the data on every page.

Is this contact list private to the user? If it is, then it reduces the work involved a little. localStorage would need to be used to collect the latest name for the contact list, and if it is private then we don't have to worry about updating the key with it.

Yes contact list is private per user - I'm happy to use a work round of a custom field for contacts but it loses the whole online/offline thing but... if your saying friends list has data on every page.... -might try something quickly-

nm - I made it work using the built in system

pb.data("user").friends

Unfortunately I don't think it's available in the template for current_user

[Boy_Wonder]

damnit

Done.

Note to others that may want to use this. It's tied to a specific forum due to the custom structure. I left some info in the README if people want to try and tweak it for their own forum.
