Send Message to Members with Clickable link

I would like to create a Message and click the box that says “send to all users”.

The message would include a clickable link.

And when these users get the notification email saying they have received a message,
I’d like them to open the email and be able to click through on the clickable link
which will take them over to a bbPress forum post.

How can I do this?

If I just send a Message with a link, it does not currently show up as a hyperlink
so users cannot click on it.

For the first part of your query, check out the two “Mass Messaging” plugins for BuddyPress, these give you the ability to send a message to all users.

Regarding sending html content, it’s not a great story but you can configure BP to accept some html tags, see this discussion:

I’ve been playing with this but have not been able to get the visual editor working, but the second half of the code snippet is what you are looking at, relating to enabling html tags.

I got the visual editor working for messages, It’s also accepting some html content. Links don’t work though.

If you are going to implement the visual editor for messages, you will need to overload the members/single/messages/compose.php file. You might like to use BP Template Overloader to help you manage your overloads

I’ve raised the links problem on BuddyPress Trac, I’ve been able to add rich text editing to the compose and reply boxes for messages, it’s quite involved doing it but if you’d like that feature I can help you implement it.
