IntoEEtive

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
object_id - member_id of the user to be added as friend
type - can be omited. Defaults to ‘buddy’ but you can set it to ‘blocked’ to work with blocked members instead

{exp:buddies:remove subject_id=”%member_id_1%” object_id=”%member_id_2%” type=“buddy”}

download Buddies plugin

Buddies plugin enables users to have buddies,friends,followers just like in many popular social networks and blogging systems.

Thanks for this, I’ll give it a try really soon.

I’ve just released 0.2 version of the plugin. This is a compatibility release: I’ve added alternative syntax of variables.

v 0.3 released - added buddy reverse check

haven’t had a chance to try this yet but I do suggest putting the version number in the name of the zip file. Thanks again.  Also if you haven’t already maybe you should mention or “announce” this in the EE Forums.

I don’t put the version number in the name of the zip file on purpose: so that download link would always remain the same. As for annoucing, there is a thread on EE forums
