I'm writing a site for a school, where all students and all teachers have user profiles. I want to use FriendList to match up each student to precisely one teacher. The "become a fan" feature is perfect for this, but want I really want to be able to do is to have an administrator make each student a "fan" of a specific teacher, rather than the student doing it themselves. Is this possible?

Hi,

This is not possible right now.
It would be very strange to add it as a feature. It _is_ rather strange.

Can you add this as a feature request, properly worded with an explanation of what you'd require? I will look into it.

Bye,

Merc.

It *does* sound rather weird, but it makes perfect sense in my context. I'm building a site for a charity which arranges one-to-one computer tuition for people with disabilities (see www.ucandoit.org.uk). I want to create a user account for each student, and a user account for each tutor. Making a student a "fan" of a given tutor would mean that that tutor is teaching that student.

The allocation of a student to a tutor would be done by an administrator rather than the tutor or the student themselves, so that's why I need the functionality of an administrator making a student a "fan" of a tutor. This relationship would then be used for reporting functions on the website.

More information can be found at http://drupal.org/node/328575, where I've been trying to work out how to do this using content_profile.module. I also tried another way, detailed at http://drupal.org/node/328327.

I'll post this all as a feature request. Thanks.
