Very nice module. Installed easily. I set up two relationships:

Name Plural Implies Type Requires Approval
Fan Fans reciprocal no
Friend Friends Fan mutual yes

In the author-pane, I still see a +Fan if the author-pane is a Friend (migration worked well). I tried adding both strict or reverse with no effect on removal of the Fan. Since Friend implies Fan, Fan doesn't need to appear. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue? I'm using 6.14 with nearly all modules up-to-date.

Thanks!

That's how it works, if you don't have a Fan relationship, then you don't have Friend as well. So the links to add both are shown. You could hide the Friend link with theming, or try to use role based permissions so that users can't establish Friend relationship on their own.

I may be misunderstanding, but I also I may not have stated my problem clearly enough:

If I am in a mutual Friend relationship with someone, then the Friend link disappears in that Friend's author pane when I visit it. This clearly occurs so that I can't add Friend again when I visit their author pane. But the Fan link is still there, which is unnecessary if we are mutual Friends. If I am a Friend, I am also a Fan, so the Fan link should also disappear when the Friend relationship is made. Is this possible with the module? It's not a big issue, just curious.

Thanks for you previous reply.

This is probably a dupe of #576750: Relationship link shouldn't be display if the relation is not allowed
