Question - Add to Buddy List

[dirkwa]

Hope I am not too much of a blond user 😁.

How can I add a AIS boat to my buddy list within Freeboard SK?

Thanks!

Buddy list is managed in the buddy plugin config.

Hmm, if your plan is to develop a full featured chart plotter you should think about a user friendly approach. What about next to "flag" a "buddy" button in the ais popup and that is feeding the plugin in the background?

Buddy functionality is provided by the plugin. Freeboard-SK just surfaces the information. There would need to be an API provided by the Buddy plugin to allow any interaction via Freeboard.

So than it would make sense to split this into 2 work tasks 😁

I would suggest you raise an issue for a feature in the buddy plugin.... once the feature is available then it can be added to Freeboard....
