PHP snippets that worked with BL don't seem to with BL2

to your first snipped. it should work, the database structur is the same (with some additonal fields)

anyway, try this:

<?php
$uid = arg(1);
$buddies = db_result(db_query("SELECT COUNT(buddy) AS count FROM {buddylist} WHERE uid= %d AND received=0", $uid));
echo $buddies;
?>

With some little adjustments this should work too. So the function that helps you to get user's buddies is now called "buddy_api_get_buddies()". But you could use my snippet, I have something simular in use:

  <?php
  //load current user object
  global $user;
  //load profile-user object
  $puser = user_load(array('uid' => $node->uid));
  //load all buddies from active user
  $buddies = buddy_api_get_buddies($user->uid);

  //buddylist links
  if ($user->uid != $puser->uid && user_access('maintain buddy list')) {
    in_array($puser->uid, array_keys($buddies))  ? print l(t('Remove @username from your contact list',array('@username'=>$puser->name)), 'buddy/delete/'.$puser->uid, array(), 'destination=node/'.$node->nid, NULL, FALSE, TRUE) : print l(t('Add @username to your contact list',array('@username'=>$puser->name)), 'buddy/add/'.$puser->uid, array(), 'destination=node/'.$node->nid, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
  }
  ?>     

no, sorry...

change the line in
if ($user->uid != $puser->uid && user_access('maintain buddy list')) {

I tested exactly this script and it was working...

Are you sure you tested it not on your own profile and you have maintaining buddylist rights?

Ok, one more try. Your problem seems to be that you don't load the right user-objects. This former snippet only works if $node is available and the author of the node is the userpage owner.

But with some small adjustements you should get it working anyway. I have no idea how your variables are configured, but try it with the following version (assuming that you have already loaded the $user variable for the viewing member and the $account variable for the member whose page is being viewed):

<?php
//load all buddies from active user
$userbuddies = buddy_api_get_buddies($user->uid);
//buddylist links
if ($account->uid != $user->uid && user_access('maintain buddy list')) {
  in_array($account->uid, array_keys($userbuddies)) ? print l(t('Remove @username from your contact list',array('@username'=>$account->name)), 'buddy/delete/'.$account->uid, array(), drupal_get_destination(), NULL, FALSE, FALSE) : print l(t('Add @username to your contact list',array('@username'=>$account->name)), 'buddy/add/'.$account->uid, array(), drupal_get_destination(), NULL, FALSE, FALSE);
}
?>    

No problem, I just want to help people switching to buddylist2.

Listing 3 buddies in a block can be also done using views, usernodes and the buddylist argument handler.
But your snippet should be no great deal too. Something like the following should work:

<?php
$contacts = buddy_api_get_buddies($account->uid);
if($contacts){
  $n=1;
  foreach(array_keys($contacts) as $contact){
  if($n<=3) {
    $contact_user = user_load(array('uid' => $contact));
    echo "<li>";
    print l($contact_user->name, 'user/'.$contact);
    echo "</li>";
    }
  $n++;
  }
}
else {
  echo "<li>$account->name has no contacts</li>";
}
?>

Hi Criz,

I'm new to drupal, and bl2. I've been installing and tweaking modules like crazy the past few days (i'm not much of a coder, certainly not php). I'm using panels2, advanced profile w/bio, and now BL2 and I can't get the add/delete links to show up. They worked with BL but not BL2. It looks like I just need to paste this code somewhere, but I don't have a user_profile.tpl.php in my themes folder. Any suggestions on where to paste your code snippet would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks.

Nick

Hi Nick,

sorry for the late answer. I'm not really into Bio/Advanced Profile, but there also should be a tpl file for your user profile. For example node-bio.tpl.php.
