Ok lads so this 

$my	 = JFactory::getUser(); // load current logged in user

$model = FD::model('friends');

$listOfFriends = $model->getFriends($my->id); 

foreach ($listOfFriends as $friend) {

	echo $friend->name; // display the friend list with their name only

}


Gives me the name of my friends list but how would you

1. link the Name back to friends profile and
2. show friends avatar also within the a href

is this possible?
Hello Marcus,

Here is the correct code to display the link based on your current code:


echo  "<a href=\"".$friend->getPermalink()."\" class=\"uk-button uk-width-1-1 uk-text-left\">".$friend->name."

<i class=\"uk-icon uk-icon-circle uk-text-success\">    

</i></a><br>";


However, I just can provide you the code because I'm not familiar with the module you are using.

Hello Marcus,

Please use this codes: 


$friend->getPermalink() // get the profile link

$friend->getAvatar() // get the user's avatar


Hope this helps.

Hello Marcus,

Maybe you missed the ';' at the end. 


echo $friend->getPermalink(); // get the profile link

echo $friend->getAvatar(); // get the user's avatar


Make sure this is in the foreach loop.

Hello Marcus,

Can you provide us your backend and FTP access so we can have a better look on your issue here? And can you please verify which file you have modified and which page to view the output. Also, kindly please understand that this is beyond the scope of our support. But I will help you on this one.

Hello Marcus,

You can get the avatar link using this:


$friend->getAvatar();

I did that, but it echo-ed the url so i tried this 

<img src=<?php echo $friend>getAvatar(SOCIAL_AVATAR_MEDIUM);?> />


But i think the php? echo is wrong in the image tag when i place between the <a> </a>

Do you think this looks right?

echo  "<a href=\"".$friend->getPermalink()."\" class=\"uk-button uk-width-1-1 uk-text-left\"> <img src=\"".$friend->getAvatar(SOCIAL_AVATAR_SMALL)."\">".$friend->name."

<i class=\"uk-icon uk-icon-circle uk-text-success\">  

</i></a>
