Drupal 6: Buddylist2 vs. Friend Module

Posted by demian dellinger on September 27, 2008 at 7:14pm

So I have used the Friend Module (http://drupal.org/project/friend) on a couple of sites, no problems but doesn't knock your socks off.

Anyone have any experience with the CURRENT development release of Buddylist2 (http://drupal.org/project/buddylist2). I have not ever used the Buddylist module(s) before.

Pros/Cons?

Is either structurally better suited for Drupal 7 moving forward?

Thanks.

I'll check it out. Do you recommend the beta7 or dev version. It's not going on a live site so no worries.

Any idea how many sites are using your User Relationships Module?

Its not my module. I was sponsored to write the node access component.

I'm not familiar with the status of the D6 branch.

Its hard to know how many sites use a given module. Eventually drupal.org will have module popularity metrics.
