Strange no comments here till now today is 32 days of this plugin. I just tested on elgg 1.8.8 and worked perfect. I Recommend this great plugin for everyone, I was really sad coz friend request system was not so good but this plugin made my day!

Thank you so much Jerome Bakker

thanks you so much for this plugin

Thanks Jerome, recommended.

One wish, currently users are only notified if a friend request is declined. I think they like it more if getting notified when a request is accepted. How do I change that ?

It's on my todo list

I have installed this but it appears to be missing the menu item for me to request friends within the program. I have Friends, Invite Friends and a blank area and then Friend requests. There is no link for me to choose to add a friend. Is this how it is supposed to be?

Thank you,

Well I found the way to request a friend by going to the person's profile and there is a button. Is there supposed to be a direct entry as well?

@Crlmson this plugin makes the default friendship in ELGG a diffrent way.. if some reqest friendship he/she needs to approve the request to be a friend...  which is not in ELGG Core.

@Jerome Thanks, looking forward to it.

There is no other way to request friendship, so go to the profile of your potential friend and request a friendship.

The "Add friend" link is also available in the hover menu (i.e. the drop down menu you'll see when clicking on the down arrow on user's profile icons whereever they are displayed on your site).

Add my wish too :)

When friend request is already sent, at the moment.

 "Add friend" botton is avilable, it will great, if it shows, "wating for accept" or 'Request already sent"

Thanks

It should already do that ;)

To notify users on friend requests approval edit friend_requests/actions/approval.php and input the below code to line 22

            $subject = elgg_echo("friend_request:approve:subject", array($user->name));
            $message = elgg_echo("friend_request:approve:message", array($friend->name, $user->name));
            
            notify_user($friend->getGUID(), $user->getGUID(), $subject, $message);

@Mercyspree

Thanks !

To all, you do have to add friend_request:approve:subject and friend_request:approve:message keys to the language files and give some friendly message in it.

i thought this plugin produced one entry in the river for friend connections with a 'double arrow' icon showing the connection both ways.. 
presently i am seeing two entries in the river, one with a left arrow and one with a right arrow.
is there a setting i'm missing?
thanks 

Great Work! strongly recommended :)

Hi. 

I am Using this plugin with cool theme. Prob. is i need to Change the logo, and Want that it Highlight the count in red as of message. 

Please Help!!!

Thanks

I have translated the plugin into Spanish. I share this work?

PS: Sorry, my English is very bad

Anyway on your next release to make it so people can block or ignore users they dont want to have contact with?

Nice work!... small issue, i can send myself a friend request... wt can i do to stop dis? #iamnew

This plugin is very important for a social network. Why don't add this plugin to elgg in default? Top bar icon can be modified to drop down like in facebook.

Recommended.

This is a great plugin and I hope it will be bundled with future versions of Elgg.

Something funny I found while testing the friend request plugin is users are able to send friend requests to themselves. There isn't any harm in this, but it looks a bit silly in the river feed. ("Bob has become friends with Bob.") I have written a simple patch that prevents users from friending themselves. It can be downloaded here:

Thanks !

Victory is mine!

I thought the friend requestion new friend request notification was a little ugly :(

so i changed it

basically what i did was i just replaced the text in start.php of the friend request mod

under if($count = elgg_get_entities_from_relationship($options)){

replace

"text" => elgg_view_icon("user") . "[" . $count . "]",

with

"text" => elgg_view_icon("user") . "<span class=\"messages-new\">" . $count . "</span>",

snow now instead of the ugly [1]

you'll have a nice
