Thanks very much guys!
Is it just my blind eyes or is hookr.io impossible to read? Font size is tiny, color is invisible. A fantastic resource though, bookmarked it, thanks again!
For anybody interested, I just wanted a ‘send private message’ button that I could place anywhere on the page.
The simple way seems to be to use this..
<?php bp_send_private_message_button(); ?>
On click it will open the send message page with the person you want to message already set.
bp_send_private_message_button is a function that echos bp_get_send_message_button
bp_send_private_message_button is located in /bp-messages/bp-messages-template.php
source http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/2.4.3/functions/bp_send_private_message_button/
if you’re wanting to change the text of the link you can add this to functions.php or bp-custom.php
function custom_change_send_private_message_text($args) {
$args[link_text] = 'send message';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'custom_change_send_private_message_text', 1, 1 );

another version i was playing with if its of use to anyone..
function custom_change_send_private_message_text($args) {
$userName = bp_get_displayed_user_username();
$args[link_text] = 'send ' . $userName . ' a private message';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'bp_get_send_message_button_args', 'custom_change_send_private_message_text', 1, 1 );
..you would have to figure out how to remove the hyphen from the username.
