Hello!



Is it possible to have the texts "Friends", "Add As Friend" and "Respond To Request" to be displayed without the button?

I would like to remove the button-functionality in this view, but not the texts.

See my attached file.

You can try the following code in this file JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/listing/user/card.php, these code use to determine the current logged in user friend with the user or not.



$friend = $user->getFriend($this->my->id);

$isFriends = $friend->state == SOCIAL_FRIENDS_STATE_FRIENDS;

$isPending = $friend->state == SOCIAL_FRIENDS_STATE_PENDING;



$friendStatus = 'Not a friend';



if ($isFriends) {

	$friendStatus = 'Friend';

}

echo $friendStatus;

You can modify these files.

JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/listing/user/card.php (user listing view)

JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/user/user.friends.php (friend button, when you modify this file, other page friend button also will get effect too)

Hello!



Is there any other way?

The thing I´m trying to accomplish is simply to display if a user is a friend or not, without the button displaying.

The button will display on every users Cover instead.

I´ve accomplished this same functionality for Groups, Pages och Events.

https://uboozt.se/index.php/sv/grupper = "Medlem"
https://uboozt.se/index.php/sv/kanaler = "Följare"
https://uboozt.se/index.php/sv/handelser-start = "Gäst"

I´ve used:
"<?php if ($group->canViewItem()) { ?>"
"<?php if ($page->canViewItem()) { ?>"
"<?php if ($event->canViewItem()) { ?>"

But when using "<?php if ($user->canViewItem()) { ?>" returns "Call to a member function canViewItem() on null".

Any quick tip what code I should use instead?

Do you mean that remove this "Add as friend" button then change it to the following label text?

1. If the user is already friends with the currently logged-in user, then display "unfriend" without a button?

2. If the user is not friends with the current logged-in user, then display "Add as friend" without a button?

But do you want the label text to allow the user to click it? Or do you only want to show the label text without showing a clickable link?

Hello!



1. If a user is already a friend to the current logged in user, I want a text that says "Friend" to be displayed.
2. If a user is not a friend to the current logged in user, I want a text that says "Not a friend" to be displayed.
3. I don´t want any button or clickable link to be visible och clickable in this view (helpers/listing/user/card.php).

So what I´m asking for should be quite simple to achieve in (helpers/listing/user/card.php).

I want the button instead to be displayed in (helpers/cover/user.php) with normal functionality ("Friends", "Add As Friend" and "Respond to Request" as it is now.
