Hi,
I tried using views to place flags on a page.
When creating a view, I don't find in the field list the flags I created.
I am using openpublish distro.

Anyone has an idea why? Or is it just not compliant with views?

Thanks

If there a way to add a flag summary into the node in code. (ie "12 users have flagged this node")?

I have done this in my summary view with one of the fields provided by the module, but ideally I would like to place this into the page itself.

Thanks.

Let this be a lesson to all those Drupal people out there. Read before you post comments!!!
How to add flag count to your node: http://drupal.org/node/305086#flag-counts

<?php print flag_create_link('my_lovers', $node->uid); ?>
This is used to create a specific flag link.
Is there a way to show all flagging links, instead of adding them one by one?
Thanks!

How to create a flag link in Views page? I'm using flag_create_link() but it don't working :/

I'm creating a flag which is similar to the "bookmark" flag in that it associates a particular user with a particular content item.

Is there any way for me to add a flag allowing an admin to associate a particular with a particular nid in a certain flag? Sort of like allowing an admin to add a bookmark FOR a user - not letting the user add that bookmark by themselves. This is actually for designating leaders for a group - there is a group content type, and then I have a user flag which is used to flag nids of groups for which they are designated as leaders.

Is there an option to use CCK for the flag field ? Original functionality with just adding checkbox to node form doesn't work well with CCK related modules.

I used this on my site and thought it might be useful to someone else.

Manually add comment flag:

<?php print flag_create_link('flag_name', $comment->cid); ?>

I am having this rather strange problem. flag_create_link doesnt returns any html for a custom theme i made.. but works fine when switching to other default themes. On debugging it seems that the hook_theme isnt getting invoked for some reason. A print statement i placed in the flag_theme doesnt prints anything in mycustom theme but does goes invoked from other themes.

The strange thing is it used to work fine untill a few days back before i migrated to a new server. I might have made some unknown changes in the transition but have no clues what it is . Any suggestions on what i might have got wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is it possible to put that code print flag_create_link('bookmarks', $node->nid); anywhere or only in the theme pages? Because i want that code in a module but if i put it in the module code and test it theres a alert box saying: "An HTTP error 404 occurred.
http://MYDOMAIN/flag/flag/bookmarks/?destination=node/9&token=uV1O-KznB5..."

is that my mistake?

Please help me and sorry for my bad english.

I want it to display as a drop down list showing all types of flags I made instead of a standard link. How can I do this?

How about using it in a block?

i added it however i'm getting an error:

print flag_create_link('bookmarks', $node->nid); 

Error:

Notice: Undefined index: regions a block_admin_configure_submit() (línia 496 de /home/example/public_html/modules/_block/block.admin.inc).
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() a block_admin_configure_submit() (línia 496 de /home/example/public_html/modules/_block/block.admin.inc).
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object a eval() (línia 30 de /home/example/public_html/modules/php/php.module(80) : eval()'d code).

Any ideas on how to show flag abuse link in blocks?

thanks

Using views to include the OPS (remove/add flag) link made it impossible to break it down and edit individual parts (link vs. text vs. whole package). For anyone else having as much trouble as I was at 6AM trying to use tokens to change the link to an image instead of text, here's a very simple thing to do:

1. Add the Flagging: Flag link field to the view and use whatever default display you want.
2. Make sure your custom image is on the server and your CSS file can reference it (as in, not in a private files directory with no permissions).
3. Add this to the CSS file of your choice:

a.flag.unflag-action {
content: url(../images/minus.png);
}

This keeps the link and gives you an image to click instead of the ugly text that probably didn't fit to begin with. The text will still show in the HTML but browsers will replace with the image.

Just curious - is there a easier way to show a number besides the flag button. For eg. if there are 20 users currently following a blog article, is there a way we can showcase that easily. If he/she chooses to unfollow, the corresponding number changes to 19.

I have researched and tried everything without success on Drupal 6 in blocks.

It seems this does not work in Blocks...
print flag_create_link('fools', $account->uid);

The $account->uid value has nothing in it.

Even if I add this line:
$account = menu_get_object('user');

It doesn't seem to help. The only thing that does work is the

global $user;
$usersid = $user->uid;

But this is the logged in user. What I am trying to do is to display a block on all user profile pages and when you view another user's profile page while logged in as your user, you can click the flag to follow that user.

Can someone please tell me how to get the userid of the user's profile page my users are viewing?

Thanks!

The D8 Module settings page links to this page, but there is no information on how to do this in D8.

Is it possible to use this in the comment.tpl.php
print flag_create_link('bookmarks', $node->nid);

I want users to be able to flag/follow a node (ts in forum) but having the flag-link on the comment itself.

Drupal 7.50

JavaScript toggle don't work. Drupal 7
Why?

Does anybody know how Can I use Flag module to my twig theme on drupal 8?

Just an addition to the above instructions. My use case was that I wanted to generate the Flag link in a block in the sidebar, rather than displaying it using Twig. So you have to call render() in order to get the actual HTML. As in:

$status = [
	'#lazy_builder' => ['flag.link_builder:build', [
	$node->getEntityTypeId(),
	$node->id(),
	'your_flag_n',
	 ]],
	 '#create_placeholder' => TRUE,
];
$status = render($status);

You can then just echo this wherever you need it.

It is possible to create a "Follow user" flag either manually (https://prkos.hr/User-Flags-Follow-Drupal-8) or by enabling the "Flag Follower" sub module which is part of the "Flag" module.

With this you can add a "Follow user" link on the user's account page ("/user/[uid]").

But, what if you are using the "Profile" module and you want to add the "Follow user" link to the user's profile page?

It is possible to do this with some changes to the link building code.

In your theme's theme_name.theme file, in hook_preprocess_profile() put:

function theme_name_preprocess_profile(&$variables){

  // Prepare "Follow this user" flag field.
  $flag_follow = [
    '#lazy_builder' => ['flag.link_builder:build', [
      'user',
      $profile->getOwnerId(),
      'following',
    ]],
   '#create_placeholder' => TRUE,
  ];
  $variables['flag_follow'] = $flag_follow;

}

Where:
theme_name - replace with the name of your theme

following - this is the default name the "Flag Follower" sub-module gives to this flag, if you create a flag manually replace this with the machine name of your flag

$flag_follow and flag_follow - this is the name you will later use in the profile twig template, you can replace it if you want

The arguments given to the link builder are:
- 'user' - this is the entity name of the entity you want to flag which in our case is a user

- $profile->getOwnerId() - because we want to flag a user we need to get the user id associated with the current profile (user id and profile id are not the same), so basically we are getting uid we want to flag

- 'following' - the machine name of our flag

After adding this piece of code you can use {{ flag_follow }} in your profile twig templates in order to print the "Follow user" link.

If like me you flail around a bit before getting this, here's a full example of manually adding a flag link to user.html.twig (Drupal 8 or 9).

In your theme's .theme file (replace THEMENAME with your theme's name and flag_machine_name with your flag's machine name):

function THEMENAME_preprocess_user(&$variables) {
  $user = $variables['user'];
  $flag_link = [
    '#lazy_builder' => [
      'flag.link_builder:build',
      [
        $user->getEntityTypeId(),
        $user->id(),
        'flag_machine_name',
      ],
    ],
    '#create_placeholder' => TRUE,
  ];
  $variables['flag_link'] = $flag_link;
}

In user.html.twig:

{{ flag_link }}
