Hello Andrew,

It's actually possible if you follow the guide here, http://docs.stackideas.com/developers/html/followers . However, you do need to place your codes in JReviews though.

Just checking... the page you send it titled "Followers" but all the code refers to "Friends"... Is this correct?

Ops, sorry it looks like we may have mixed up the codes. Try this,

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-es-followers-follow data-es-followers-id="<?php echo $id;?>"><span><?php echo JText::_( 'Follow Author' ); ?></span></a>

Thanks!

You are most welcome

Hey Mark, sorry to keep this one going, but I can't get it to work... might be a bit out of my league.

I'm trying to add a "Follow Author" link on a JReviews listing page. What I have tried so far is to edit the JReviews listing detail page where I want the button and...
- Added this code to top of page

require_once( JPATH_ROOT . '/administrator/components/com_easysocial/includes/foundry.php' );

// This will render the necessary javascripts on the page header.

Foundry::page()->processScripts();

?>

- Added this button in the page

<a href="javascript:void(0);" data-es-followers-follow data-es-followers-id="<?php echo $id;?>"><span><?php echo JText::_( 'Follow Author' ); ?></span></a>

The button appears in the page, but nothing happens when you click it. Any ideas?

cheers
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Hm, to be honest with you, I need to actually test this out first. Can you provide us with the link to the page?

Unfortunately I'm working with a MAMP local install. When I upload to my new server I will give you access.

Hello Andrew,

Sure, let us know when it's available

Hey Mark

Finally managed to get a temp version of my site online for you to help me solve the Follow User task I'm trying to resolve.

The link below is the page I'm trying to a follow button onto. You can see it top right near the avatar "Follow Author".

Any idea why I can't get it to work?

Hello Andrew,

Can I know which file did you modified?

...that would help wouldn't it!

/templates/jreviews_overrides/views/themes/motorist_dark/listings/detail.thtml

cheers

Hello Andrew,

You are using the wrong variable for the author id and that is why it isn't working. I have updated the theme file for you and it works fine now It should be $listing['Listing']['user_id'] from JReviews

LEGEND!

Problem

When I click the button, it just sits in a constant loop with a modal loaded and a gif rotating... but nothing happens. Img attached.

Any ideas?

Hello Andrew,

Which listing are you testing on?

Any of these ones.

Hello Andrew,

I have just tried this on your site and it seems to be working fine as you can see here, http://screencast.com/t/fP8dWtj0

Bugger

Any ideas why I just get the little window but with a loading gif? I've waited 30+min and still just doesn't update.

cheers
Andrew

Are you testing this as a guest or are you testing this as a registered user? I am not really sure why you are only getting a loading indication though.
