Full Version: buddy requests

You can't be friend of a guy that doesn't consider you a friend too. So, why not sending "friend requests" insted of adding friends directly, without confirmation?

A "friend requests" menu should be added to the UCP so that you can accept or reject friend requests. Also a PM can be sent when someone sends or accepts a request.

User profiles should show a "send request/pending request/remove friend" link depending on the status.

A good buddy system with its hooks can be useful for a lot of plugins. Chats, shoutboxes, notifications, social plugins...
The whole buddy system will be getting a full rethink for 2.0. It sucks right now Wink
great cause I'm using a homemade plugin to achieve this kind of behaviour and it sucks too Toungue

Thank goodness. Right now, it's pretty pointless.
A while ago was trying to add this functionality using a plugin. It turned out that it was too hard with the current hooks and I didn't have enough time to make it work out.
The buddy system is also not constructive currently IMHO. What are the uses of it except behind blocking/accepting PMs from buddies? No buddy related notifications or anything. It's good that work will be levied on it in 2.0.
