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

The popover is based on the popover plugin from Twitter's bootstrap. We have extracted and modified the code to avoid binding with the specific elements.

Set a default message in the popup form

With version 1.0.9 and above, you can use the following code to add a custom default message.

function buddydev_default_extended_friendship_message( $message ) {

	$message ='Let us get connected!';
	return $message;
}
add_filter( 'bp_ext_friendship_default_message', 'buddydev_default_extended_friendship_message' );

Closing any/all active popover using javascript event:-

If you trigger the even "bp-ext-friendship-popover:close" on document or any element, all open popover will be closed.

Example:-

jQuery(document).trigger("bp-ext-friendship-popover:close" );

It will close all active popups.

Note:-

This plugin changes the class of Friendship button from friendship-button to friendship-button-ext
