Friend feature is not displaying related friends

This is related to Friend Request in Glide - #5.

I have watched @Robert_Petitto friend video multiple times and I believe my data is correct. However, I can not for the life of me figure out how to show a users friends. See data, I am viewing as “mark” who has a friend “Dana”.

I tried using the full public profile table and filters (fail) and when is use the friends relation, I am able to see the friends IS (see table view), but I am on the wrong row. I’ve tried all the advice I found online. Any ideas?

Also, is there a video or content to assist sharing content with friends once we nail down the friend process.




Looks like your screen is attached to the first row in the table, so it’s seeing data for Dana.
If you want data for Mark, then you need to apply a filter at the screen level, so that it attaches to the correct row.

It is actually showing date for the row for "This user, profile name “Oak Oak” which is much lower in the table.

That’s what is shown through the relation, yes.
But your screen is clearly attached to the first row in the table.

Let me ask you a question - I can see that Marks profile data is shown in the second row of that table. So is your expectation that when you are “viewing as” Mark, your screen should be attached to Marks row?

If that’s the case, you need to apply a filter to the screen. Given that it’s a Public Profile, I’ll assume there are no email addresses that can be used as filters. But, I assume that you have a column in the table that contains each users UserID, which links back to the RowID in the User Profiles table?

If that’s correct, then your filter should be “UserID is User Profile → RowID”.

Note that the filter should be applied at the screen/tab level, and not on any of the components.

I am confused about which row the data is showing…it appears to be showing the row i circled…not dana the first row. at any rate your fix worked!! thank you!
