Problem/Motivation

As a Logged-in User I should be able to follow another users. That means I should be able:

  1. Follow any user
  2. Unfollow any user

Steps to reproduce

  • Install the module `social_follow_user`
  • Login as LU
  • Visit the profile page any user (you should see "Follow" button and be able "follow/unfollow" this user)

Proposed resolution

Add a new custom module allows follow/unfollow other users.

I just installed the 11.2.0-alpha1 because I wanted to check out this feature but I don't see social_follow_user as a module. Do I need to add it separately?

Hi @dereks

You are right, it was released in Open Social 11.2.0-alpha1 only. You can check milestone in PR https://github.com/goalgorilla/open_social/pull/2712

To have this module you should update Open Social to at least 11.2.0-alpha1.

I have changed the version for this issue.

Please note that this feature is still in active development, and we released only the initial part of it as a hidden module.
It's not possible to enable it from UI, but it can be done from the terminal.

Thanks @ribel and @Ressinel
I'm most curious about notifications and email when a followed user does something. Is this tied into an ActivityContext and Message Template? I didn't see anything like that in the pull.

(I have the same questions about Taxonomy follow)
Thanks,
Derek

Is there any kind of roadmap for this feature? I like the view to see who is following me and who I'm following (which I'm hoping will be wrapped into the "/following" view). But there is no ActivityContext or notifications, which I was hoping for.

We had this feature partly developed ourselves with a flag and ActivityContext - but I'd rather stick to Open Social features where possible.

Just curious. And if we can help test or review, let me know.

Thanks,
Derek
