Hi there:

I want to be able to turn off the Friend suggestion on ES (please see attached).

Can you tell me if this is possible -- and if not, can you point me to the back-end where I can find this code so that I can comment this out until this feature is available?

Thank you
Hello Santi,

I am sorry but not too sure if I understand you here but the friend suggestion is already a built in feature in EasySocial. Am I missing anything here?

If you want to remove this filter, edit the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/friends/default.php and remove the codes below:



<li class="filter-item<?php echo !$activeList->id && $filter == 'suggest' ? ' active' : '';?>"
data-friends-filter
data-filter="suggest"
data-title="<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_PAGE_TITLE_FRIENDS_SUGGESTIONS' );?>"
data-userid="<?php echo $user->id; ?>"
data-url="<?php echo FRoute::friends( array( 'filter' => 'suggest' , 'userid' => $this->my->id == $user->id ? '' : $user->getAlias() ) );?>"
>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">
<?php echo JText::_( 'COM_EASYSOCIAL_FRIENDS_SUGGEST_FRIENDS_FILTER' );?>
</a>
<span class="es-count-no pull-right" data-total-friends-suggestion><?php echo $totalFriendSuggest;?></span>
</li>

How would the 'Friend Suggestion' work? What are the criteria that makes ES think this person could be your friend? Is it friend of friends?

i also think that ES "Friend Suggestion" should be enhanced with criterias. if we create different profiletypes with different fields then should we able to compare that and make a F riends Suggestion for a User with same intererest an profiletype. i would vote for such request in Voice area

Yep, it's currently based on friends of friends but initially we did thought about making this more robust where friend suggestions would also be dependent from another suggested person. For instance, if I am friends with Rene and David, I could suggest to Rene to be a friend of David.

Yup, but our hands are too full right now We're almost there with 1.1.0 http://stackideas.com/roadmap/easysocial . We hope to be able to push this out as soon as possible.
