Warning after install

So ... the only way i was able to recreate this error by

1. made a custom module that hooked into hook_im_friends (e.g. mymodule.module with a function mymodule_im_friends()
2. returned something other than an array of ints. for example, return array(1,3,7,2,8,11);

Any change you are doing something like that? Or maybe you have another module that also has an identically named hook. hmm I wonder how i should deal with that. (other than of course providing some documentation around using this hook) I do need to update the project page, my bad, I'll try to get that done asap.

Another confusing thing is that under admin/settings/im i have a select box to select "all users" or a view or a user relationship. these actually get ignored if you hook into hook_im_friends. i think that one solution would be to add any module implenetations of the hook to to the select choices. However, this would prevent multiple modules from adding to the list of friends.

Gotta think about this one, and i'd appreciate any feedabck on how it should behave - but in the mean time, i'll at least put in some docs and also some error trapping if you've implemented the hook and are returning bad data.

You can check to swee if any other module implements hook_im_friend by using grep, e.g. in the shell command line, go to sites/all/modules and type in

You should see im.module listed, and that's all. if you see another module listed, then that is probably the problem.

I'll try to get some error trapping and docs in this weekend.

Please let me know what you find. Thanks

Fixed and commited. My real bad here. After introducing hook_im_friends I failed to test User Relationships, and Views ... do'h. This should fix the problem. I also added some error checking ...

Tarball should be updated tomorrow =- look for a date > 2009-May-19

Meanwhile you could download the module file (not the whole directory) from http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/im/im.modul...

Just replace the file "im.module" in your modules/im folder

I replaced the file with this latest code. The module seems to be functioning well otherwise, but I now get this error:

warning: array_key_exists() [function.array-key-exists]: The second argument should be either an array or an object in mysite.com/sites/all/modules/im/im.module on line 525.

Thanks again

Yeah ... do'h.... I'm trying to do too much stuff in a hurry (I'm gearing up for a trip to chicago and then india ... trying to meet deadlines, yada yada ... )

I just fixed that error (an hour ago .. ) but the module should work as long as there is at least 1 other user online... if you want the fixed version, the tarball probably won't get created until tommorrow, but you can download the latest from http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/im/im.modul...

thanks for hanging in there...

Excellent. Thanks so much for the speedy responses, and funky module. Have a great trip!

Most welcome and thanks. BTW After you've got it up and running on your site, I'd love any info on how it's working out...
