Hi,

I’m trying to integrate the Cartpauj PM plugin with my new install of bbPress.

I want to add a private message link to member’s profile page, so when they click the link it pre-poluates the ‘To’ field in the message.

I’m using…

<?php if($page = get_page_by_title('title of the page for messages')) 
{  
                        $link = get_permalink($page->ID); 

                        echo '<a href="'.$link.'?pmaction=newmessage&to='xx'">  
                        <span class="pm">Message 
                        </a></span></a>';  

                        } ?>

But I’m stuck at what ‘xx’ should be.

If I use .$user_ID.

echo '<a href="'.$link.'?pmaction=newmessage&to='.$user_ID.'">

It pre-popluates my user name correctly. Anyone help with what I need to use to pull in the ID of the profile the message link is attached to? I’ve tried '.bbp_displayed_user_field( 'ID' ).' – that pulls the correct ID number but places it outside of the clickable link

Anyone steer me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

This is a complete guess based on the way it’s done for a reply which is this:

<a href="'.$link.'?pmaction=newmessage&to='.get_the_author_meta("ID").'"><span class="pm">Send for author a PM</span></a>

So I’m thinking get_user_meta("ID") maybe?

Thanks for the suggestion (hadn’t tried that one). Unfortunately didn’t work.

Another guess… bbp_get_user_id( 0, true, false )

Which translates as:

bbp_get_user_id ([int $user_id = 0], [bool $displayed_user_fallback = true], [bool $current_user_fallback = false])

You absolute STAR!!!! Just using bbp_get_user_id( 0, true, false ) worked perfectly as in echo '<a href="'.$link.'?pmaction=newmessage&to='.bbp_get_user_id( 0, true, false ).'">

Thanks x 1000
