Description

Hi,

A customer of mine commissioned a web site using Drupal 6.
Now... one of the requirements is that we support buddies. I realise that your module is still very much Beta at the moment. I was just wondering if you thought it would be crazy to use it on a production server. I guess the question is "Is it usable right now in your opinion?". I didn't say "bug free", nor "perfect". Just "usable" :-D

Thanks a lot,

Merc.

Hi,

I'd like to upgrade my request.
I really need to launch a site that uses Buddylist 2. However, I've never actually used it.
I enabled it, and realised that the module isn't actually usable right now. I don't use views -- I will basically code the "friends" tab manually. However, I can't see a way to send a "friend request" for example.

What needs to be done in order to make this module at least functional? (that is, to add friends). Please tell me -- I will port it.
However... if the architecture between buddylist and buddylist2 is completely different, I might have a problem because I don't know buddylist.

Basically, I am here -- let me k now.

Bye,

Merc.

Hi,

OK, forget about this question.
I've studied the module's source. There are a few hours missing in terms of development of the API.

At the moment, I am developing a simple layer on top of the API. Basically, I will only use the API to achieve what I need.

However, there are a few problems. For example "message" is never written onto the database -- I suppose that's for the message from user A who wants to be friends with user B?

Also, there are no handy boolean flags like buddylist_are_friends($user1,$user2) which are very easy to code and yet very handy.

Do you need a hand with the API? I can't really help much right now, because I think it's pretty much your show (not sure what you have on your local machine, your planned ideas, etc.).

So, what's the roadmap here?

Bye,

Merc.

Same problem here..

One more, how to use approve flag..its no where used in the buddylist_api_request_relationship function..

Hope need a additional layer for those missing things, unless or until any roadmap is avialable.

Thanks..

Hi,

yesterday i commited the up-to-date version from my dev server, maybe you can take a look at this. some things are fixed, some functionality has been added to API and the UI is now a bit useable (look at other users page /user/uid). i know, its not completed right now, but with a views integration and some improvements, it should be useable.

Hi,

This was my issue before I wrote http://drupal.org/project/friendlist , a fully functional Relationship manager for Drupal.

So, I guess it's "fixed".
