I've hacked the directfriends module to work under 2.2.3
I'm still working on it, but the add / delete / list /priate message all works. The status for online / offline still needs to be done, however.
If your interested, I'll send you the hack so you can try it out. Email me at
robbhammack@gmail.comI'm not sure of the propriety of hacking someone else's module, but when I have it fairly solid I'll see about releasing it to the general community. I'm not planning to support it or do enhancements, because I'll also be involved in a much more full featured "social networking" module, overseeing some work by an offshore team.
Our planned module will implement the FOAFnet standard, allowing people to easily import / export friend lists between different systems, allow different security levels for friends, and a lot more ;o)
The company I'm doing some work for needed something very basic _quickly_ so I decided to fix Directfriends rather than starting from scratch for the short-term goal of having something available by June 15th, 2006
I've discussed it with the business people, and we will be licensing it under a open-source license and releasing it to the public at some point.
