@Henry, Did you got it solved?

I’m having the same question.. I want to get the link to have a send private message button

@shanebpdev

For the life of me I cannot figure out why it doesn’t work for the friends loop. Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Anyway I thought why not just build the link and throw it directly in the friends template?

echo wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain() . bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . bp_core_get_username( bp_get_member_user_id() ) );

@henrywright-1

I’m not going to spoon-feed this to you.
But you’re on the right track.
( I should have said ‘ The clue is in your reply…’ )
You’ve found what is the same in those two situations.
So what is different about them ?

Sometimes it’s easier to start anew.
For example – instead of ‘how to I change this to do that’, start with ‘how do I do that’.

Use echo to confirm the required variables.
Use var_dump to expose all the fields in objects.

@shanebp you mean the bp_directory_members_item is different? That is the same in both the members directory and the friends list (both use the members loop)…

@henrywright-1
What’s different? The answer is in your reply “Thanks for that… ”

@valuser
That usage makes sense and has been mentioned by others.
But it’s not a simple tweak.
And would require an admin screen so you could choose to show / not show the button in loops.
And etc. etc.
I’ll write an article in the next week or so on

Thanks for function https://gist.github.com/shanebp/5391229

works bp 1.7, wp 3.5.1, bbPress 2.3.1 Theme: Child of bp Befault

Any chance that it might call up your BP Profile Message UX 1.1.3

Interestingly I just tried this outside of the members loop. It doesn’t work on the friends list page. What is different about the friends loop and the members loop for this not to work? Humm…

Thanks for that! I can see now you’ve created a new function display_private_message_button which hooks on to action bp_directory_members_item in the members loop. Sorry for being slow, i got there in the end :}

Start with the add_action and follow the function calls.
If you see a function that isn’t defined in the gist, then that function is in the codebase.
Find and study it.

The add_action calls a function that calls bp_send_message_button() which creates the button.
Part of creating the button is creating the link.
The link can be filtered – so look for apply_filters in that context.

@shanebp

Is it possible to explain how the code works?

sorry

@shanebp,

Your link is not working anymore

Try this in your functions.php or bp-custom.php file

Do you have Private Messaging selected on the Components page under Settings -> BuddyPress ?

Hey @Chouf1

Can your code be modified for private messaging? I’m trying to make the private message button on profiles visible when someone is logged out, but redirected to log in/register when a logged out/unregistered user attempts to contact someone. Can anyone point me in a general direction?

Thanks.

you may found these kind of information in the language pot file

#: bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php:657
msgid “Private Message”

#: bp-activity/bp-activity-template.php:2430
msgid “Public Message”

etc

functions.php ?

Oh Sorry, I understand that the link is not used.

So this:

(a) href = “/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = ” target = “_blank”> send message (a)

Hallo @talha8877

Excuse me, my English is not so good, unfortunately.

I used the plugin Cartpauj PM Plugin from Mingle, as I have found as yet no viable solution to the buttons (message etc) of the BuddyPress insertion into posts / Articels.

So now I turn off the message part of BuddyPress and linking all the Cartpauj PM, which works wonderfully, except out of BuddyPress. There does not work.

Of Cartpauj in single.php just the link:

<a href = "/ news / pmaction newmessage = & to = “> Send

. put But as I said, the link works in BuddyPress indeed, but does not with the member users, which I will write. Since I’m still looking for a solution. Evtentuell with: bp user id, funktioiert might not.

So who has a solution to integrate Cartpauj PM in buddybress, bring it on.

That´s it

Thank you

Hi @strangerrj,
How do you generate the /the_messaging_page/ part in php?

@chouf1,
I used it just like that inside the template but it didn’t return anything. But if I only use an action hook like
`add_action( ‘the_content’, ‘bp_add_friend_button’, 5 );`
Then the same button appears in all the posts. First I thought this worked but when I clicked the button all the buttons in all the posts became ‘cancel friendship request’

Hello, I received the solution from houseofstrauss: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-the-user-id-for-pm-plugin?replies=2

Thanx @houseofstrauss

Is it also possible to integrate in buddypress the member header? The link work, but he does not detect the user from buddypress, the user I want to mail.

And is it possible in the same window e.g. in Thickbox to open Colorbox or Lightbox?

this link is:

a href=”the_messaging_page/?pmaction=newmessage&to=<?php the_author_ID(); PM me

the_author_ID is not correctly for Buddypress.

Thanx Greetings R.

Looking to do something similar, but I’m using the buddypress follow me plugin. I would like to display the “follow” button on my childsite’s sidebar.
