Buddypress PM Message from Post

  • Hi,
    At my WordPress/Buddypress site users can create custom post.
    I want a “Write to the author” from the custom post- Using Buddypress message system.

    I came across this code:
    https://buddypress.org/support/topic/link-to-a-private-message/
    Which I put in functions.php.

    And it works fine.. Except the “Send To”.
    The author name dosent get passed through..

    The solution could be in this line:

    $compose_url.=('r=' . bp_core_get_username( $to_id ));

    I have tried to store a varible, and writing something like this:

    $compose_url.=('r='$authorname'' . bp_core_get_username( $to_id ));

    But I can’t get it right… Nothing really works.

    It only works when I write it manually like this:

    $compose_url.=('r=authorname' . bp_core_get_username( $to_id ));

    But that, of course, dosent really work for me..

    Have anybody success with sending a PM message from a post?
    Or have some idea what I could do, to get the author name / username in the “Send To”-Field.

    Did you ever find a solution to this? I too am looking to populate the Send To field on the PM compose page but have yet to find any solution.

    I found the below also:
