[Template] Add PM Button to Mini-Profile

[pawl]

Another little one for you, and this one's really easy. =]

You might have noticed that the button for sending a PM to a member is no longer in the mini-profile - this little tweak will pop it back in for you.
Head to your Admin Panel, then Layout Templates -> Mini Profile

Approx lines 27 & 28 should read this;
{if $[user.is_online]}<br /><span class="italic">Member is Online</span>{/if}
</div><br />


Make the changes in the bold line below;

{if $[user.is_online]}<br /><span class="italic">Member is Online</span>{/if}
{if $[current_user.is_member]}<br /><a href="$[user.pm_href]" alt="PM $[user.name]">Send PM</a>{/if}
</div><br />

The text in purple is what will display in the mini profile, below the 'Member is Online' text (or, if the user is offline, the Post Count). You can also add an image here, if you'd rather, using an <img src="IMAGE URL" border="0" /> tag.

The orange text is what displays when you hover over the link - the $[user.name] is replaced with the members' display name.

The whole thing is also wrapped in an {if $[current_user.is_member]} tag (in blue), which means the text/button will only appear for users that are logged in. This can be removed, although I wouldn't recommend it.


Easy enough, no? =]

Ridiculous how easy it is now, eh? Glad you got it though. =]

I'm a little confused why you would want a template for this, when all you have to do is click the gear on a post made by the person you want to PM and select Member > Send Message. Sure, it's not in the same spot as before but the functionality is already there.

Sometimes people (myself included) just like the way things were, to be honest. A little stuck in our ways, perhaps.
It took me a little while to notice the link in the gear menu, but personally I prefer it in the mini profile, and thought other people might too. I'd already added the code to my own test forum, so I thought I'd pop it up for others who might not be sure how to do it. =]

Currently on a break in work, sorry I've not seen this yet. Been working more hours than I can count lately. =P should be home sometime around 1am (gmt), will take a look then. =]

Hi Paul, as V5 seems to be on system updates there is no rush. Come to that there really isn't any rush, get your self rested, a cold beer and relax. Then when ever

[aRMY83]

To add Paul, I'd like to see this also and as Stuck stated, no rush and by all means, get some rest and then a brew or two.

This is how I use it:

 {if $[user.is_member]}
  <div class="info">
            <span style="color: #{if $[user.is_online]}FFD705{else}26292E{/if}; font-weight: bold;">{if $[user.is_online]}I am Online{else}Member is Offline{/if}</span>
   <br />Posts: $[user.posts]{if $[user.gender]}<span class="float-right">$[user.gender.image]</span>{/if}
            {if $[current_user.is_member]}<br /><a href="$[user.pm_href]" alt="PM $[user.name]">Send PM</a>{/if}
   {foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
    <br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
   {/foreach}
  </div><br />
 {/if}
