[andyjay33]

i wanting to have a switch for my members where they can make there profile private but only allow friends to view it im coding my own script and would be grateful if someone can guide me in the right direction

There need to make an user group, with permissions, You should look at some scripts as preview, in example lavalair

ok thanks but i find laviar a bit confusing my script is alot different coding to that so what your saying is i need user groups ive already got user levels so do i check who is on the users budlist then allow to them else not allow anyone else ?

Incorrect, you can allow this by using a buddy list feature. no need to make messy groups.
Members could press private and only allow administer's and buds to view profile.
its simple to code, just think how it would work, use your imagination, you could even "funk" it up, like only block certain people etc..

Good luck

simple logic,
just add a bool column in your table of users's detail. if someone has private profile , then check if user is admin or his/her friend. if he is then show profile, else just give msg for private profile.
