Auto friend a certain user.

Hey there!

I was wondering if anyone could make a script or had one, where everyone on the forum would automatically become friends with a certain user.

This would apply on everyone who currently uses the forum, and new people who join would automatically be friends with certain users.

Any help? Thanks!

Would not this cause issues when two members have issues?  I mean before they join your forum.  I would not want to force everyone to be friends.  It should be a personal option for individual members.

They'd only be friends with an account I made on my forum where I post the latest updates etc. They'd be able to remove the account as a friend, just they'd automatically be that users friend at the start.

Ok.  So you mean a group called friends?

I'm not quite sure. I'd just like to make it so everyone will be on user 2's friend list.

You could make a group so when everyone who registers joins the group and you can post latest updates by group message. You can hide the group so it is not on legend and is not color coded if you would like by marking the group "hidden".

I've decided to see if Ange can help with this.

It's possible to make every user send a request, however, you'd need to manage the account receiving the requests and accept each one.

A simple example of what I mean :

Code:

(function() {
  var user_id = 2,
      username = 'Ange Tuteur';

  if (!my_getcookie('fa_friend_checked')) {
    $.get('/profile?mode=editprofile&page_profil=friendsfoes', function(d) {
      if ($('a[href$="/u' + user_id + '"]', d)[0]) {
        my_setcookie('fa_friend_checked', 'true');
      } else {
        $.get('/profile?friend=' + username + '&mode=editprofile&page_profil=friendsfoes', function() {
          my_setcookie('fa_friend_checked', 'true');
        });
      }
    });
  }
});
