BP – Version 1.2.7
WP – version = 3.0.4

I’m adding some simple member blocking.
Everything works fine except for one annoying issue with friendship requests.

When Member A does a friend request on Member B who has blocked them,
for Member A the text “Add Friend” changes to “Friendship could not be requested”.

I need it to say “Friendship requested” so that they don’t know they are blocked.
[ If Member A refreshes the page, they will see “”Friendship requested” ]

So, I think the “Friendship could not be requested” is coming from ajax somewhere.

I have changed that text in :
/plugins/buddypress/bp-friends.php
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/_inc/ajax.php
and
/plugins/buddypress/bp-languages/buddypress.pot

But “Friendship could not be requested” still appears.
Where else could it be coming from?

Would you mind sharing how you made a blocker function?

It’s just a hack, across various php files

Add a block/unblock button on profile pages
When clicked either add or remove a row from a blocked_users db table via function in bp-custom
Check that table in bp-messages when sending messages & notifications
Check that table in bp-friends when a friend request is made

Works fine except for the initial “Friendship could not be requested” issue.

how did you do the hack/hacks?

[@shanebp Moderator 13 years, 7 months ago]

The usual way – trial and error.

I forgot the ajax file in the _inc folder in the child theme – fixed.
