Required Modules

Buddylist2 benefits from some very powerful drupal modules, therefore we have a few dependencies.

Required Modules

• Usernode - to list users via views
• Views - to provide all listings as views
• [Invite- if you use Buddy API Invite]

Recommended Modules

• Workflow-ng - flexible notifications/logging/sending of mails/...
• Token- needed by Workflow-ng

(Buddylist UI depends on Usernode + Views + Buddy API. Buddy API Shortest Route depends on Buddy API. Buddy API Invite depends on Invite and Buddy API)

Upgrading from Buddylist

1. deactivate buddylist
2. activate buddylist2
3. DO NOT UNINSTALL BUDDYLIST MODULE. THIS WOULD DELETE THE DATABASE TABLES!
