Hi,

In this module, when User A sends a request to be friends with User B and writes a message, User B gets the message in Friends Request. User B clicks on Approve and is given the option to write a message of his own to approve friendship. User B chooses to write a message along with the approval and sends the approval and message. However, User A does not get his message but only sees in his list of friends that User B is in it. Why isn’t User B’s message displayed to User A acknowledging friendship? Thanks.

Title: Message problem » Return message deleted upon friend approval.
Version: 6.x-1.0-beta5 » 6.x-1.x-dev
Category: support » bug

When a friend approval happens, the original flags are removed and the relationship is recorded within the flag_friend table. When the flags are removed the associated message are being removed as well.

So what do we do about this?

The goal was to keep the table clean, but this is definitely a bit of a problem.

We could keep the messages in the message table and clean them out on cron I suppose. Are you a coder?

Also keep in mind that these message are also emailed out if the appropriate permissions are applied. I think that is why I made the decision to remove both messages in the first place. If they're emailed out, then there is no need to keep them within the system.

I've had other reports before that email was not going out and it turned out to be the permissions.

No response from the reporter and since there was a design decision involved that I'm still in favor of, marking as won't fix.
