Description
This php snippet inserts the SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE link
Dependencies: privatemsg.module must be installed and enabled.
Usage
- For use in your user profile page override
- Copy and paste the code into your user_profile.tpl.php file
- Change the div class name or the link text to suit.
<?php if (user_access('access private messages') && (isset($user->privatemsg_allow) ? $user->privatemsg_allow : 1)) { ?>
<?php $frommetoprofileuser = arg(1); ?>
<div class="fields">
<?php print l(t('Send a private message to ').$user->name, 'privatemsg/msgto/'. $frommetoprofileuser); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>Hide link when on your own page
<?php
if (arg(0) == 'user' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
$node = node_load(arg(1));
if ($node->uid == $user->uid) {
echo ;
}
else {
print l('Send a message to '.$user->name, 'privatemsg/msgto/'. $user->uid);
}
}
?>
Working Snippet for Drupal 5.x (I used 5.7 and Privatemsg 1.8)
just put this in the user_profile.tpl.php file or custom block....
<?phpprint l('Send me a message',"privatemsg/msgto/".$user->uid);
?>
$user->uid is already referring to the owner of the user_profile.tpl.php page regardless
of the logged in user - good enough solution for starters, though
users would still have it on their own page - However on top of this you could do a simple " if - else"
statement...
<?php
if ($user->uid != ($GLOBALS['user']->uid) )
{ print l('Send This User a Private Message',"privatemsg/msgto/".$user->uid); }
elseif ( $user->uid == ($GLOBALS['user']->uid) )
{ print ('') ; }
?>
and I actually tried it! It actually worked! (Drupal 5.7)
And of course, you would want to put in some DIVs in proper place so you can give it a CSS class.
You could just put a div around the whole thing and used contextual CSS selection to style the A tag. i.e.
" div.msg-me-link a "
however if you want to style it as a box the box would be there wether the link is there or not...
(not sure about syntax for conditional printing of html tags, the " " to give the div the class would
kill the link syntax used in the PHP above, any suggestions?)
