Flags - Recreate the 'poke' function

Question

I need to create a flags view that displays a list of users that have "poked" the current user with D7, Views 3 and Flag 3. I've read through this question and drupal.org/node/296971, neither instruction seems to work or at least I am not able to get the settings right.

To define the functionality:

1. Users are presented with a list view of other users
2. Users click the "poke" flag link on a single user
3. Users then browse to /pokes/ and view all other people that have poked them

This is either a difficult setup or I'm missing a couple settings (the latter is extremely likely). Any hints or thoughts?

Answer 1

I created a test site with Flag and Views module enabled and so far, I could create a view to display users who have poked me.

Create a new Flag to flag users. This don't have to be a global flag. Flag text could be "Poke" and unflag text could be "remove".

Users are presented with a list view of other users Users click the "poke" flag link on a single user

1. Create a view on users table
2. Add a new relationship: Flags: User.
3. Uncheck "Include only flagged content "; Choose the poke flag; By: Current user.
4. You will see a new field "Flags: Flag link". Add it.

You will now get a view that shows users and a flag link to flag them. Modify the View as you wish. http://paste2.org/CGZshUFN

Users then browse to /pokes/ and view all other people that have poked them

This is a really tricky part.

1. Create a new View on users table.
2. Add a new relationship: Flags: User flag.
3. Uncheck "Include only flagged content "; Choose the poke flag; By: Any user.
4. Add a new contextual filter: Flags: Content ID
5. Under contextual filter settings, choose the just-added relationship and set to user the current logged in user ID.
6. Now we have access to a list of user IDs that has flagged the currently logged in user.
7. Add a new relationship: Flags: User
8. Under this relationship's settings, check "require this relationship".
9. Add a new field: User: name and choose the relationship created in step #7.
10. Add a new relationship: Flags: User flag (yes, you are added one already in step 2 but go ahead).
11. Under this relationship's settings, choose the the user relationship created at step #7. Uncheck "include only flagged content"; By: current user.
12. Add a new field: Flags: Flag link and choose the relationship created at step #10. http://paste2.org/tkWg99vp

Above step 12 will add the "flag back" type link that the user can see a list of users who have flagged the current user and a link to flag them back. You will need many Views template tweaks to adjust the wording of the View to suit your need.

Good luck!

Answer 2

It works for me too. But When multiple people flagged the same user, When I go on its profile and see the numbers of users who flagged him, I always see the first one and not the others.

In my code I count the number of users who flagged him with this script :

if ($flag) {
 print "The number of people who voted for this proposal:";
 print $flag->get_count($user->uid);
}

And I my output is 3 people.

I don't know why I see only 1 user.
