Send Private Static Message

    I need to add a button on single profile pages.
    The button will send a private message to the user being viewed – but the message is preordained.
    (It’s a promotional thing)
    So we don’t want to go to a compose page – just send the message.

    In member-header.php, I add a button:
    `

    <a href="” title=””>

    `

    In bp-custom, I add the functions:
    `
    function bp_send_private_grrr_link() {
    echo bp_get_send_private_bzzzt_link();
    }
    function bp_get_send_private_bzzzt_link() {
    global $bp;

    if ( bp_is_my_profile() || !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

    return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_private_bzzzt_link’, bp_send_private_bzzzt() );
    }

    function bp_send_private_grrr() {
    $subject = ” I just sent you a BZZT!”;
    messages_new_message( array(‘sender_id’ => 1, ‘subject’ => $subject, ‘content’ => “BZZT!”, ‘recipients’ => 9) );
    // sender_id & recipients hard-coded for testing
    }
    `

    The above will send a message – But it does so as soon as a profile page is loaded.

    How can I stop the message from being sent until the “Send a BZZZT!” button is clicked ?

    Right now, your function is coded so it runs whenever the function is called.
    You need to create an action listening function at a predetermined slug so your function should run; or if you’re feeling really up to it, use ajax to send the request.

    Check out any action function in BP for hints.

    Here’s such an example to get you started:

    Thanks for the pointer. Got the listener working.
    Here it is, for other noobs…

    `
    function bp_send_private_bzzt() {
    global $bp;

    if ( $bp->profile->slug != $bp->current_component || ‘bzzt’ != $bp->current_action || ‘send’ != $bp->action_variables[0] )
    return false;

    $sender_id = $bp->action_variables[1];
    $recip_id = $bp->action_variables[2];
    $recip_name = htmlspecialchars(urldecode($bp->action_variables[3]));
    $sender_name = $bp->loggedin_user->fullname;

    $alert_message = “You just sent a BZZT! to ” . $recip_name;
    bp_core_add_message( __( $alert_message, ‘buddypress’ ) );

    $subject = $sender_name . ” just sent you a BZZT!”;
    messages_new_message( array(‘sender_id’ => $sender_id, ‘subject’ => $subject, ‘content’ => “BZZT!”, ‘recipients’ => $recip_id ) );

    bp_core_redirect( wp_get_referer() );
    }
    add_action( ‘wp’, ‘bp_send_private_bzzt’, 3 );

    function bp_send_private_bzzt_link() {
    echo bp_get_send_private_bzzt_link();
    }
    function bp_get_send_private_bzzt_link() {
    global $bp;

    if ( bp_is_my_profile() || !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

    $sender_id = $bp->loggedin_user->id;
    $recip_id = $bp->displayed_user->id;
    $recip_name = $bp->displayed_user->fullname;

    return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_send_private_bzzt_link’, wp_nonce_url( $bp->displayed_user->domain . $bp->profile->slug . ‘/bzzt/send/’ . $sender_id . ‘/’ . $recip_id . ‘/’ . $recip_name . ‘/’) );
    }
    `

    You should also add some type of nonce verification:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_nonce

    Reason is in your function anyone can send a Bzzt even if you’re not logged in if they know the correct URL schema.
