Running Laravel 5.4

Hi,

I have an idea/question...

So I acctually want to use this package, but I kinda need something you get 'reciprocal friendship'. So something like Facebook has:

I sent a friendshiprequest to user B.

User B accepts the friendship and now we both have each other in our friends list. Because I sent the request, I want to be a friend, and he accepts it, so we both are friends. Any idea how I can do this via your package? Or in a new release?

Im developing a proffesional network and want the users to connect to each other. I found this package but how to i use it especcialy when you already have the user model which stores all the users. hoa to get sender id and receipt it.

Hi guys,

i have successfully installed the package, but unfortunately i cannot use those functions. The send request and the block functions are working so i think the problem comes from the update() method:

public function acceptFriendRequest(Model $recipient) { return $this->findFriendship($recipient)->whereRecipient($this)->update([ 'status' => Status::ACCEPTED, ]); }

Do u have any clue why is that ?

When I send a friendship request to a model, when I check if a model is friend with another (using $user->isFriendWith($recipient), it will return me always true, even if the request is still pending.

Get All Friends(accepted) (It returns a collection of friend models not friendships, for example User)

$user->getAllFriends();

Get Friends(accepted) with Limit

$user->getFriendsLimited($limit);

Use Case

$user->getFriendsLimited(5);

This will return only 5 friends.

Get Friends(accepted) with Pagination

$user->getFriendsWithPagination($perPage);

Use Case

$friends = $user->getFriendsWithPagination(5);

This will return a paginator object. To render links

5.1: Use ->render();
5.2: Use ->links();

View

@foreach($friends as $friend)
    <p>{{ $friend->name }}</p>
@endforeach

{!! $friends->links() !!}

I have been using this friends package with an app i am trying to build. As a sender, I can send a friend request to a recipient, log in as a recipient and accept the request.

From the sender end, I can list the list of friends he sent the request to and build the list of friends using the getAcceptedFriendships() method, looping through the results and getting the recipient details. However when I log in as the recipient, when I do the same, instead of the sender's name being listed, the recipient's name gets listed instead...

Any ideas as to how to fix this?

Thanks.

When i fetch all accepted friendship and pass to the view the names and id of the friends not showing.

My controller file

public function connections ()
        {
            $user = Auth::user();
            $connections = $user->getAcceptedFriendships();;
            return view('users.friendships.connections')->with(compact('connections'));
        }

View file

@foreach($connections as $user)
     <li>
        <h6>{{$user->name}}</h6>
    </li>
@endforeach

It displays the list of all accepted friendship without their details like their name.

I need support

This would be really helpful to have, but this is quite complex task with your current DB structure, it's much easier to use two way relation for this, means for each friendship there are two records user_one => user_two and user_two => user_one, this will make complex queries much simpler.

When testing the application im getting de following error:

`There were 21 errors:

1. FriendshipsTest::user_can_send_a_friend_request BadMethodCallException: Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::befriend()

Is there is something i did error? Using the new version of laravel.

Kindly change this in an updated version as The fire() method is an alias to the dispatch() method. The renaming of this method started way back in the 5.3 to 5.4 upgrade, and is included in the upgrade guide:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/upgrade

Thanks as we can use this package fro laravel updated versions

Hi, I have an existing laravel project and wanted to add a new package for creating pdf. Unfortunately I always get this error when I require any package with composer

  [RuntimeException]
  Could not load package hootlex/laravel-friendships in http://repo.packagist.org: [UnexpectedValueException] Could not parse version constraint ~5.*: Invalid version string "~5.*"

  [UnexpectedValueException]
  Could not parse version constraint ~5.*: Invalid version string "~5.*"

It is very weird because of the version, when I remove the package I can install the pdf package. But I cannot install hootlex/laravel-friendships package anymore as I'm getting the same error as described above.

I'm always getting an error when trying to seed my database causd be the method $user->befriend($arg);

My research has shown that this method is outdated. My updates did not help me to get rid of this error. Will it be fixed?
