Summary:
New Friendship Moderation plugin compatible with elgg1.5
Full description:
Friendship Moderation(1.5)
(Edit your project's description!)
I was looking at the elgg plugin list and user groups for a good plugin that can be used to create a two way/ elgg0.9 like friendship moderation. I could not find a good function that does it. So, Cubet Technologies created this elgg plugin that acts as a friendship moderation tool.
This plugin allows users to define their moderation level as
No moderation(anyone can make you their friend. This is the default setting)
Moderation (you will be notified if someone wishes to make you their friend, and you have the option to accept or decline)
Private(no one has the option to make you their friend).
Based on their friendship moderation level, elgg manages their friend requests.
If moderation is on, users will get a list of unapproved users and they can approve/reject the requests.
hello! thanks for this great plugin!
I would like to have the option "moderation" as default. how can I do this?

Another question:
When a new user registers, I cannot add him as friend until he didn't save the friends moderation settings.
Can someone reproduce this bug?

Awesomeplugin, so glad this is working in 1.5!!!! Thanks. I too would like the option of setting all users settings to default to friendship moderation. It would also be nice if there was a visual notification that a user has a friend request. Also a notification in my inbox saying jo bloggs has requested to be your friend. I also noticed that there is nothing in the river that indicated i have befriended someone.

Er not sure whats happening here but when I add a friend I get the white screen If I then or click the back button or refresh the page, it works. This was tested on my V1.5 test site. Any clues as the is an amazing plugin for us for us an quite essential for my users

To set the default settings to moderation, you need to go to: views > default >frms > settingsform.php
Edit the fifth line where it says $value='nomoderation'; and change it to $value='moderation';
This should do it :)

@juser
thank you! But all users still need to save the settings first to get it work.

thanks a lot for the great plugin, is there a way that i can set it by default to moderation without the need for users to save first?
thanks

hi, great plugin! thanx!!!
However, the receiver of a friend request doesn't get a message, even if moderation is on.
Maybe I did something wrong with the install. Or did somebody else encounter the same thing?

thanks,
there is a problem that you can keep adding a friend as many times as you want and it doesn't say, friendship requested or something like that...
zanzoon 355 days ago
Yes, this is quite what I mean! Until the user you want to add does not save his settings, you cannot add him!
I guess the reason is that the database needs to be updated for each user before the plugin can work.

Hi Gleb, yes i too encountered the same problem where the user has to save his settings first, which is obviously not ideal as they dont necessarily even know that setting exists, hence the point of having a default setting. PS Thanks for your help on changing my defaul setting to moderation worked perfectly. Now all we need is to sort this last issue and the plugin will be close to perfect.

@Malaga Jack,
You need to place it below the friends plugin to get it working.

All,
We are a bit busy at the moment and I wish we can release another version by early next week with some of the changes/bugs mentioned in the comments.

I've changed the CSS layout a bit and installing the moderation plugin on elgg 1.5 it moves the chat icon a little to the right of the screen and it's ruining the layout.
Is there any such overriding styles or echo'ing to the top menu which could cause that?

When I go to Settings I see the Friends Moderation link, but when I enter any of the Settings the link dissappear. The only way to have it back is clicking on the Settings link in the top bar.

When you click "Add Friend" on someones profile, it works but thats it. It should do a pop up javascript box of (Thanks, you will have to wait for that person to approve your request). Then the button should change to "Friend Request Pending..." Its decieving.

It doesn't work on my elgg 1.5 installation. i get this error when i click on Members->Friend Requests:
http:/
Fatal error: Call to a member function getGUID() on a non-object in /var/www/web248/html/mod/friends_of_friends/start.php on line 37

That means that mod "friends of friends" is changing something with that function, and its pullings something it doesn't exist. Re-order your plugins so this plugin is BEFORE that one.
iBotPeaches 346 days ago
that didnt help, but a solution is described in the comments for friends of friends plugin.
you have to change line 37 in the plugin
