Info/Instructions: Thanks to Shortbus for commisioning it.

Disclaimer: Please backup every file that you intend to modify.
If the modification modifies the database, it's a good idea to backup your database before doing so.

Note: If you modify your UBB.Threads code, you may be giving up your right for "official" support from Infopop.If you need official support, you'll need to restore unmodified files.

Is this an external thing (i.e. No files altered)?

Just a thought, maybe an "Add to Contacts" in profile pages which adds a user with some of the info if its in that users profile?

wheels turning

External yes. I altered it from a membership database script I wrote for a non-profit I am president of. It is a very simple script.

I can write up a simple script to add a link in the profile page the desired information from a user's profile However by default that would only be email and website and possibly name but this script has a first and last name field. Normal Threads users dont have phone fax etc address etc. but if they use dimopoulis's contact Threads scripts they might or if they have a modified threads install.

He added this on my site and it works great so far. I think it will be a heavily used feature...

Omegatron,

Great work

I have found a little bug, well I think it's a bug.

In the /contact/mycontacts.php list where it shows the contacts you have an option to click on the email address and it's not linking properly. It does show mailto: in the bottom left corner of IE though

In mycontacts.php change:

I should have known that

Thanks

Thanks Little Josh. Yeah forgot to add that although it might be more like this

$ubbt_lang['mycontacts'] = "Viewing Contact List";
$ubbt_lang['addcontact'] = "Adding a Contact";
$ubbt_lang['editcontact'] = "Editing a Contact";
$ubbt_lang['showcontact'] = "Viewing a Contact";

don;t forget the..

$ubbt_lang['scrubbing'] = "Scrubbing the Floors and Doing the Windows";

I think I found a bug.

The zip code field is not following through on initial submission, but will if you edit contact and re-add it.

Am I doing something wrong

Righto you are.

In addcontact.php in the INSERT query there is this

'$zipcode_q' should be this '$mem_zipcode_q'

when I get a minute I will update the build

Hmmm sounds like the insert command isn;t inserting the zipcode. check the array where he is putting it all together and make sure it looks ok.

see I told you

That did the trick

Thanks

Very nice. I love this.
I would like to change the type of contact...
Leave it as it is but use a different name for the type of contact.

Where can i edit this?

TRY

in addcontact.php find

<select name="type">
<option value="Family">Family</option>
<option value="Friends">Friends</option>
<option value="Work">Work</option>

change to

<select name="type">
<option value="{$contact_lang['TYPE1']}">{$contact_lang['TYPE1']}</option>
<option value="{$contact_lang['TYPE2']}">{$contact_lang['TYPE2']}</option>
<option value="{$contact_lang['TYPE3']}">{$contact_lang['TYPE3']}</option>
