allow the requesting user to send a personal note

i currently have a count of 1 new friend requests as admin on my live site, but when i view the friend request page i don't see any listed.
any idea how to debug this quickly?

In the add/approve friend actions, the event handlers are forcefully removed before reciprocally adding the friends. I need to perform some tasks at that time and can't find a way of doing so without forking this and specifically adding in my handler.
For a future release, would it be possible to trigger a custom event here for other plugin authors that are building around friendships with friend_request specifically in mind?

Please and thanks!

since accepting friend requests on socialbusinessworld from people with so many different languages, i have seen that many messages come through in non english languages. i think this is an issue with whatever version of friend request they are running because it is only friend request notifications that have this issue for me.

It shows two separate and simultaneous River entries when a 2 way friendship is established.
Only one should be sufficient.
At present, it shows
"abc is now a friend with xyz"
"xyz is now a friend with abc"
Only one is needed and much better, for example
"xyz and abc are now freinds"

In side bar menu items, it shows
Friends
Friends Of

When this is two way, "Friends Of" is no longer needed. It is confusing for site members to have both Friends and Friends Of, when this plugin deals 2way friendship so nicely.

when a friend request is made by default river items are added. Create a plugin setting to disable this

Just installed ELGG 3.0.2 and this plugin is not compatible with the new elgg version.
it will be updated?

TopBarMenu.php
'text' => elgg_view_icon('user') . elgg_format_element('span', ['class' => 'friend-request-new'], $count),
replace with
"text" => elgg_view_icon("user") . "<span class="messages-new">" . $count . "",

This needs to change to 'create','relationship':
elgg_unregister_event_handler('create', 'friend', '_elgg_send_friend_notification');

When the entity (entities table) for the friend approval, the owner_guid is set to 0. Should it not be set to the user GUID that approves the friend request? We are on elgg 1.12.9 and Friend_request v4.0

send notification to the requester when the request is accepted/denied

Any plan to update the plugin for Elgg 3?

i am seeing in elgg 1.12.6 that when someone asks to be my friend, the notification that is present in the notifier reads:

user and 4 other users have made you a friend 03/01/2016 - 2:17pm

and the link that the notification points to is:

https://www.ureka.org/friendsof/ura_soul

since the friend request plugin replaces the friendsof handler, this link is incorrect.

In Elgg 3x, in Friends collection, the name of the friend is not shown. Only the profile photo (if the user has one) is shown.
