Essentially it is a hack to allow users to have crushes on each other and to declare them secretly. If two users declare that they fancy each other, then a match occurs and both are notified.
This is a great way of virally encouraging users back to the board and to inject a bit of fun into a forum.
We ran a manual one of these on our boards called 'secret crush', but that proved too controversial, so this is slightly watered down to be 'secret admirer', such that more people can participate and admiring someone doesn't commit you to them... so it's less imposing.
Anyhow... on with the hack.
The hack is comprised of:
1 new database table.
1 new php file.
Edit to member.php to include new "if" statement.
Edit to getinfo template for 'admire' link.
6 new templates.
All of the code and instructions can be found in the attached zip file.
I've tested this on my own board, and have installed it in my live environment. I don't know if it is rock solid though, so would appreciate feedback and bug reporting. I'm not a PHP coder by trade, so point out any errors if you see them.
Cheers

Major update, adds reporting functionality for users and puts us on the verge of a gold release. Could a few other people please install this and let me know how you go... I want to know for sure that others are comfortable with this as it stands before I turn it gold.
I personally think it's there now... but just want the community to give me that peace of mind (as my board is hacked heavily and I want to find issues BEFORE it goes gold).
