Integration with "Invite" Module [#372404]

Hi,

Might it be possible to integrate with the invite module (http://drupal.org/project/invite)?
In D5 Buddylist and UR provided this integration, that when a user registers who has been invited, a relationship between both is created.
I know it is still in dev, but the API function doesn't look to complicated (See Invite readme: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/invite/READ...).
But unfortunately I'm not a coder at all.

This would be great, thank you.

Regards,

Ben

I agree...it would be helpful for friendlist to support such a module. Much like privatemsg is enhances the productivity of friendlist. Hopefully down the road, after all bugs and other request are ironed out, this can become a reality.

Hi,

I tried it it on my own by writing my first module with the following code:

 
function semmelnplus_invite($op, $args) {
   if ($op == 'escalate') {
    friendlist_api_relation_add($args['inviter']->uid, $args['invitee']->uid, 1,'', $user_generated=FALSE);
    friendlist_api_relation_add($args['invitee']->uid, $args['inviter']->uid, 1,'', $user_generated=FALSE);
  }
}

That works fine, and invitee and inviter are getting friends.

My only problem is that I don't know how to avoid that rules is sending emails that confirms the new relationship. I understood the readme that by using the $user_generated=FALSE statement whould prevent rules from sending these emails.

Any help would be great.

Beside that, I would love to see that somebody would take the above snippet and would create a real module with permission check and everything.

Thank you

Regards,

Ben

Hi Ben,

The User Relations module has a similar architecture as Friendlist. In this issue Jaydub has done a some work already to make a contrib module to support the invite module. Hopefully we can take ideas and pieces of code from that contrib to create a contrib for Friendlist as well. Permission has already been granted ;)

Mind you the priority is not high on the list, but it would be good to see this ported to here as well. Patches welcome...
