You previously guided me to create a field I call 'Connected To Me'. This field displays whether a member is connected/not connected to me in a member list.

Here is the code I use:

$cbConnection = new cbConnection( '[user_id]' );

return ( $cbConnection->isConnected( '[cb:userdata field="user_id" user="#me" /]' ) ? 'CONNECTED' : 'NOT CONNECTED' );


How can I edit this so rather than just indicating if connected/not connected, if I am not connected, there is a link/button to connect (instead of Not Connected)?

Kyle,

wonderful, as always.

I have used the code as suggested:

$cbConnection = new cbConnection( '[user_id]' );

return ( $cbConnection->isConnected( '[cb:userdata field="user_id" user="#me" /]' ) ? 'CONNECTED' : '<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=addconnection&connectionid=[user_id]" class="btn btn-success">Request Connection</a>' );


One issue, though. When I click the button, it shows me as connected with the member, however, on the member page it shows as 'Pending'. Does the code need a parameter to indicate the pending state?

Mutual consent is on.

When I click the new connect button, it takes me to their profile and says 'Connection Pending Acceptance!'.

When the other person searches for me (in a list or on my profile), it gives them the option to 'Accept' or 'Reject' me.

When I go to the list and search for them, it says we are connected (not 'awaiting' or 'requested' etc), even though they have not physically accepted me.
