Friends Plugin Ideas/Fixes

So I’ve installed the friends plugin. It’s great and I think there are some easy wins to make it even better.

1. When you add someone as a friend, automatically redirect back to the blog that you were on. There is no need to go into WP-admin. It would be cool if there was a little message that said “Friend Request Sent” or something back on your new friend’s blog (in the sidebar)

2. Display the user name, not the blog name as the friend — I’m not friends with blog, I’m friends with people.

Any more out there? These are my big 2 for now. I’ve also mentioned elsewhere that tying in friends and invite would be really nice…if that hasn’t been done already.

    1) I’ll look into it. This has been requested before so i’ll bump it up the list.

    2) This would require a total recode of the plugin. When coding the plugin this was a decision we had to make. Feel free to thank whichever genius decided that users should be able to have multiple blogs :slight_frown:

    Thanks,

      2) On my install I will be restricting users from having multiple blogs. Is there an easy hack you can think of that would work for my situation?

    Unfortunately no. I would literally have to rewrite 75% of the plugin in order for it to work that way and it would take far too much time (that I just don’t have right now).

    Thanks,
