This plugin enables users to have buddies/friends/followers just like in many popular social networks and blogging systems.
The users are able to add/remove others as their friends. The lists of friends added by user and also who added him can be displayed.
Also, you can have “enemies” along with friends - for fun or for something useful.
The plugin is using standard database table, so it’s 100% compatible with Buddies/Blocked list that can be found under Personal messages in user’s Control Panel.

{exp:buddies:add subject_id=”%member_id_1%” object_id=”%member_id_2%” type=“buddy”}
Add a member as friend of another member.
subject_id - member_id of user who wants to add a friend
