Friends not added or accepted

[fastbob fastbob, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

In one of my portlets I'd like to establish a friend relationship between two users. In addition, I'd like to automatically accept the request so the users don't need to accept the request

Starting with Rich Sezov's excellent book, I added the following code:

			com.liferay.portlet.social.model.SocialRequest request = 
				SocialRequestLocalServiceUtil.addRequest( userId, 0, User.class.getName(),
					userId, SocialRelationConstants.TYPE_BI_COWORKER, StringPool.BLANK, requester);
			// Confirm this request on behalf of the receiver
			request.setStatus( SocialRequestConstants.STATUS_CONFIRM);
			SocialRequestLocalServiceUtil.updateSocialRequest( request);

Unfortunately, although no exceptions are thrown, the users are never marked as friends. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I believe you need to call

SocialRelationLocalServiceUtil.addRelation(request.getUserId(), request.getReceiverUserId(), SocialRelationConstants. TYPE_BI_COWORKER);

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this call and it seems to work when I get a list of friends via:

			List<user> relations = UserLocalServiceUtil.getSocialUsers( userId, start, end, new UserLastNameComparator(true));
</user>

But these friends do not show up in the LR friends portlet. Suggestions?

You mean the social networking portlet ?

That portlet will only list relations of type SocialRelationConstants.TYPE_BI_FRIEND

You are establishing a co-worker relationship, not a friend relationship

Yes, the social networking portlet. I was under the impression from Rich's book that the portlet uses TYPE_BI_COWORKER, although perusing the 6.0.6 code I couldn't determine what was actually used (I certainly could have missed it). Anyway, thanks for your help.
