There was issue reported in 2020 about the one way friendship feature. If user (A) add user (B) as a friend instead of user (A) seeing user (B) feed, user (B) is forced to see user A feed. Which doesn't even make sense. Because somebody add me as a friend why would I want to see their post and didn't request to see it? Issue reported in 2020 and it still hasn't been fixed🤦
😂😂They need to because I'm hurting my brain trying to figure a reason they have it set as it currently is.
I pray they include it in the next release. That's a very important feature of a site. I wish a Developer would just create a follow system that is able to work with the friend system.🤦 All of these issues are stressing me out.
OR hear me out - how about a follow system - like IG - someone follows me but I don't have to follow them back. SIMPLE

Still no answer...
I want a business profile (maybe a group) to be able to have friends (override friends only community) so all other users can see their feed or post if they become friends or follow them. I don't want their stuff on the business feed and I don't want anyone who is following them to be seen. Not sure how this can be accomplished.
But I am still waiting for an explanation on this thread from phpfox.

Hi All,

Vinny, since this is a phpfox feature. I would hope someone there knows why it was created, how it works, and when to use it.

Randy,
Thanks for the response. The friends only setting overrides everything. I have done some hacking to do some of the areas to bypass it depending on what group membership they are in. Even tried the one way friendship which kind of worked but they are unable to message each other as the original poster of this thread asked about the one way friendship. That is why I can't understand why they can't explain it in full because it seems useless until someone tells me why it was created. But three months later still no answer.
thanks for caring Randy...I thought I was the only one left here :)

Hi all,
To begin with, let me explain a little bit about One-way friendships setting. When you send a ONE-WAY Friendship request to someone, that person will be automatically set as your friend in your friend list without waiting for their acceptance.
For example: when Member A adds Member B as one way friend, it means Member A consider Member B as his/her friend and member B will appears in Member A's friend list. In this case, activities/posts by member A will be visible on member B feeds, but NOT the reverse. This is not a bug, the setting is working properly as its rule, please help us note.
Btw, I also would like to inform that the feature "following" as other social medias as Twitter, Instagram,.. currently doesn't exist in phpFox default platform, however, in our Store, we see that there are having some third party apps which support to that function, you can install them into your site.
Please be assured that this improvement is on our list and it will be considered in our future updates.
Have a great day ahead and stay safe!
Vinny.
