User Relationships: send implied relationship *after* the implying one is approved
Hi,
I'm using your User Relationship module (version 2.8) in Drupal 5 and
I have a little problem (don't know if it's a bug or not). I make an
example to better explain what I mean.
I have two relationships (both one-way with approval), "supplier"
implies "customer" and vice versa "customer" implies "supplier" (both
Strict and Reverse are checked).
User A wants to be supplier of B and so requests "supplier" approval to B.
At this moment nothing is approved, but (here comes the problem) A
immediately receives "customer" request from B, so (if A approves this "customer"
user relationship
hi,
are new to drupal, I'm trying to configure user relationship to a small social network.
My problem when users create content, such as blogs, only those who want it to become part of the relationship of friends can see them, or even the only friend who can see it.
how can configure?
thanks to all
Non-node profiles + set number of nodes per user?
I'm looking at content profile and wondering if I can:
-have basic profiles controlled with the core D6 profile module, (like "Basic Information" in profile)
-AND have two specific content types that a user can create, but only once. (They'll function sort of as profile extenders.)
So it's not quite user profiles, but I wonder if content profile can do that - have two node types tied to users but not set as their profile. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to configure that, with or without content profile?
Thanks!
Read moreNode Profile and Privacy?
Hi
I want some social features on my Site. I am using D5 and Node Profile and Pageroute. User should now create relationships. I have looked at all the modules Buddylist, Buddylist 2 and User Relationship. What I have not found is a possibility to hide node profile fields from users that are not buddies.
Is there anywhere (a module or workaround) support for privacy?
A little help would be great.
thx

Drupal as a Social Bookmarking Service, your thoughts?
I see a need for Drupal to be able to act as a social bookmarking service, and I think it should be very easy to make a simple module to handle it. The basic functionality would be that a user (either authenticated or anonymous) would be able to post links to drupal with a simple "GET" form, either as a drupal form, or right from a url... For example:
http://example.com/bookmark/add?href="http://google.com"

Advanced Profile Kit is now in active development for D6. I have a lot of ideas of where I want to take it but I also have a lot of people wanting it to stabalize. So I've decided I'm going to go the same route as I did with Advanced Forum and cut off 1.x with a minimum set of features and then go wild in a 2.x branch.

Possible New Drupal Modules
I have a few ideas for Drupal modules. All are related to Social Networking Sites in that they are an attempt to allow nodes to appear as if they are part of each users account. The first and third modules are related to the Token module.
I'm anticipating developing these modules for Drupal 6 and later versions of Drupal. Not for Drupal 5. I've done some work towards the first module (Type user nids) but very little for the other two.
I'm asking the following:
1) Are these likely to be useful to the Drupal community?

I've got new problem need your helps to solve.
I want to create a group based system for my school. Because my school divided into 2 parts, so the groups will categorized like following:

With OG, seems to be OK when implement groups. But seem there is no module for categorizing the groups like above, and allow user to browse the groups list by category.
Thanks for every helps!
Scalable Lifestream/Activity/Heartbeat Functionality
Greetings Drupalistas,
I'm working on what feels like the hundredth (but is really the 4th or 5th) project that includes some variety of Facebook-like "Activity Stream" for a Drupal-based community. Having tackled this problem in a number of different ways in the past couple years -- none of which I've really ever loved -- I was tempted to launch a new module project to solve this thing once and for all.
My primary concerns are modularity -- such that anything can potentially be an Activity -- and scalability to work with 100s of 1000s of actions and users.
After some initial review, I found both a existing module:
drupal.org/project/activitystream
Which lead me to post to the devel list, and the discovery of many more modules:
http://drupal.org/project/activity
http://drupal.org/project/activity_log
http://drupal.org/project/heartbeat
I'm in the process of reviewing all these and will post the results soon. Unfortunately, but understandably, they all appear to be divergent efforts.
I think it's a laudable goal to develop a good overall module to support this functionality, though this is much easier said than done. Really, it takes a group of people committed to developing for the community in addition to their own projects. I know from experience that this is very hard, but am trying to do better in 2009 (Drupal karma refresh!).
And now a question: should a unity of "Activity" be a node?

Hi all
I'm totally a newbie to Drupal. In my opinion, Drupal is so amazing.
And now I got something to ask you, I want to show all the COUNTRIES as a list, then, click on each country it will show the page contains list of CITIES of that countries.
I know there is some module could do that, because this is the common task, but I don't know exactly where it is, how to configure it. So can you help me, big thanks for every help!

Read moreCan we ever get a usable community site out of the box with Drupal? (Theorical question, opinions wanted)
Hi there!
I´ve been around this group for a while, and there have been a lot of new "drupal-for-2.0-community" stuff lately.
Anyway, there´s this thing that´s bothering me since I´ve started to get my hands dirty with Drupal, and I really need to hear what you think about:
Drupal core profiles: They are not able to be managed as nodes (duh!), and you always need some contrib module to do that for you. Can we get a usable out of the box community site?
