I am trying to implement the plugin be_tom. It requires that I know the GUID of the person I want to be Tom. Where can I find the GUID?
Thanks

You must log in to post replies.I have an edited plugin laying arround to find the guid of a user I'll package it up and post it here, it's just an edited version of user_contact_list.
Here's the zipped up edited plugin:
www.robertscmc.com/mf_user_contact_list.zip
Just remove line 18 and 27 in the start.php file because those lines limit plugin access to guid 2 who is an admin so just remove those lines and all admins can now see the plugin in the admin menu... hope this helps :)
$username = "admin";
echo "\n*** fetch user=($username)";
echo "\n*** get_user_by_username";
$user = get_user_by_username($username);
if ($user) {
echo "\n*** user($username) FND OK";
$userGuid = $user->getGUID();
this will give you guid for a given username
Also Table: elgg_users_entity display in phpmyadmin -->
you can also browse to your hearts content ; -)
how about using this plugin?

so many ways to skin the cat... ;-)
Thanks for the info. I was able to find the GUID but the "be tom" plugin failed to work. Below is the code I had to modify. My GUID is "129". Did I fill in the info correctly?
<?php
/* Be Tom - Elgg plugin to automatically add the user you specify as friends with every new user that registers on your site.
*
* Instructions:
* *************
* 1) Find the GUID for the user you want to be Tom.
* If you don't know how a simple way is to look at any of
* the action links on their profile and in the link there will
* be a part where it says guid=123. 123 is what you want.
* 2) Put that GUID below in the $friend_guid = 2; line
* 3) Decide if you want to get emails when people join and become your friend automatically.
* By default this is set to not allow the emails to get sent out.
* To change it look below for $i_want_emails = false; and make it $i_want_emails = true;
*
* And of course check out my Elgg blog for updates, mods, and articles about setting my own Elgg based site up.
* Blog: http://www.addicted2kicks.com/devblog/
* Elgg Site: http://www.addicted2kicks.com/
*
* Version 1.0 - Zac
* It's a low priority, but a future todo item will be a page in the admin interface to allow you to
* configure this plugin easily w/o messing with code. It's a very low priority, but if there is a lot
* of interest I will start on it.
