Friend functionality

Consider using one of these modules to have your friends functionality:
User Relationships (http://drupal.org/project/user_relationships), or
Friendlist (http://drupal.org/project/friendlist)

There are also modules to invite people to your site. If you perform a search, I am sure you will find some.

For lists use views module

Posted by groenm on November 2, 2009 at 12:33pm

In case you yourself as the admin wants to see a list of all users, you can go to Administer -> User management -> Users. However, this page is (and should be) only accessible to users with the appropriate permissions.

If you want to create a list of users to show to the users or to anonymous visitors, you can use the Views module (http://drupal.org/project/views).

If you haven't used Views before, it can be a bit intimidating as it is a quite powerful module. However, it does not harm to learn it, as a lot of Drupal sites use it, because you can do a lot with it.

If I understand you

If I understand you correctly, you want to be able to view who the friends of your friends are? In that case, you do not need the Views module. This is built in, in the friendlist module. They have created a block for this. Go to Administer -> Site building -> Blocks. There you will see a block called "Friends". Assign this block to one of the regions. Now, go to the profile page of one of the users. The Friends-block should now show up and show the friends of this user. You can click the name of a friend and you will be taken to their profile page, where you can add them as a friend.
