Today, I am presenting you the BuddyPress Extended Friendship Request Plugin. This plugin allows users to send a personalized message with the friendship request. Thanks to @onlyway (Derek) for suggesting the idea.

How it works:-

• When a users clicks on Add friend, It shows him/her a small popup to enter some personalized message
• The user can enter a personalized message and click on the Send request to send the request.

I believe, the screenshots will explain much better

Here is how it looks on User’s friendship Request page

So, that is pretty simple

When I started working on this plugin, I could not find a suitable javascript popup plugin which could be triggered by the script and is in dependent of the elements. But I liked the popover plugin from Twitter’s bootstrap. It is cool(but sadly binds to elements, which is nice for most of the cases). Instead of writing the whole code, I used their popover structure(html/css) and wrote my own javascript code to make it independent of the elements. The javascript code is just a bunch of functions and I do plan to convert it to a jquery plugin someday .
