Solspace Friends - Status Updates Display

Question

Is there a way to display all status updates from a particular member group in templates irrespective of whether or not they are friends (of the logged-in user)?

Answer 1

There is no built-in way to display all statuses of members in an EE member group. However, you can get this data using the EE query module:

{exp:query sql="SELECT * FROM exp_friends_status AS f 
    JOIN exp_members AS m ON m.member_id = f.member_id
    WHERE f.group_id = 5"}
  {status} by {screen_name}<br />
{/exp:query}

...where 5 in f.group_id = 5 is the EE member group_id from which you want all the group's member statuses to be displayed.

Note: The above is to display statuses of members within a EE member group, not a Friends Group. For a Friends Group, the query would be different.
