Help with BuddyPress Friends Loop

I’m trying to output a modified version of the friends loop on the homepage … but I am getting the error: bp_has_friendships is not defined. I have no problems putting a modified members or groups loop together. I’m using BP 1.2 and WP single user 2.9.1 Is there something extra I need to include in order to get this working?

<?php if ( bp_has_friendships('type=active&per_page=6&max=50&user_id=' . bp_loggedin_user_id() ) ) : ?>

<div class="avatar-block">

<?php while ( bp_user_friendships() ) : bp_the_friendship(); ?>

<li class="vcard">

<div class="item-avatar">

"><?php bp_friend_avatar_thumb() ?>

</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>

</div>

<?php else: ?>

You have no friends.

<?php echo ""; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Ok so that middle part of the code with the avatar section didn’t paste in correctly, but you get the idea. …

bp_has_friendships was removed in BP 1.2 and put into the backwards compatibility update. Try something like:

if ( bp_has_members( ‘user_id=’ . $user_id . ‘&type=alphabetical&per_page=0’ ) ) {

while ( bp_members() ) : bp_the_member();

user_id=’ . $user_id . ‘&type=alphabetical&per_page=0’ doesn’t seem to filter it to only friends of that user … looks like it’s posting random members. Not sure what I’m doing wrong since I get no errors.

Code:

<?php if ( bp_has_members( ‘user_id=’ . $user_id . ‘&type=alphabetical&per_page=0’ . $instance[‘max_members’] ) ) : ?>

Try hardcoding with a user_id to begin with to see if that works:

<?php if ( bp_has_members( 'user_id=1' ) ) : ?>

Yes hardcoding works, but I am making a “My Friends” widget and I want to show the logged in user’s friends.

Ok so I wrote a cute little widget for this so it’s easy to use. It’s my first plugin, so please be nice Let me know if there’s anything with how it’s written. I’m sending it through the “Submit a Plugin” section in the BP repository. Thanks for the help!
