Add a PM (start conversation) button to Postbit

TPerry · Nov 12, 2012

Tracy Perry submitted a new resource:

Add a PM (start conversation) button to Postbit (version 1.0) - Pop up new window to start conversation with user directly from their postbit in forum view

Code:
This modification will allow you to have a button on the forum postbit that will allow users to "Send PM" directly to that user (most of mine don't understand conversations - what can you say, they are mainly vB users). This is MUCH easier using TMS, but you can change the code directly.

First, you will need to search conversation_add for the following string:

Code:

 </h3> </xen:hook>

Then do a replace with the following:...

Are you using TMS? It should be just a cut and paste with that setup. Otherwise you will have to search under conversation_add it is in the <xen:if is="!{$isQuickReply}"> segment.

Note, quoted text is not in the formatted style - it is a cut and past. I could not get the code section to allow me to color code it.

<xen:if is="!{$isQuickReply}">
<xen:hook name="message_user_info_text" params="{xen:array 'user={$user}', 'isQuickReply={$isQuickReply}'}">
<h3 class="userText">
<xen:username user="$user" itemprop="name" rich="true" />
<xen:if hascontent="true"><em class="userTitle" itemprop="title"><xen:contentcheck>{xen:helper userTitle, $user}</xen:contentcheck></em></xen:if>

</h3>
</xen:hook>

Cant find it either. Is the conversation_add the right template? (i use tms) Searched in Dreamweaver all files, cant find it.

I can confirm that this line

Code:

<!-- slot: message_user_info_text -->

is not in conversations_add
I did find it here
message_user_info
this is the default template

Yep... my bad... will modify the entry to reflect this... that's what happens when you do the stuff early in the morning with no caffeine..

i just get this when i copy and paste

The following error occurred:

The following templates contained errors and were not saved: message_user_info: 1) Line 44: Template syntax error.

TPerry · Nov 29, 2012

Can you post your entire template. Need to know what your Line 4 is. Use the "code insertion" option to keep the formatting correct.
I would STRONGLY suggest you utilize TMS as it makes it easier (if you are not already using it). There may be the possibility you are already utilizing an add-on that modifies this code?

Looks identical to mine with the exception of the highlighted above code. Is this an add-on? If so, try disabling it to see if it then works. Also, are you using a custom theme. This is used with a modified default theme on both my production and test site with no problems.

im using Flexile Dark

NickM22 · Dec 1, 2012

still get the same problem with the stuff taken out

Try using the default theme and see if it does it there. I think I remember that the Flexile theme has some differences that cause some edits not to work.

EDIT:

I just installed the Flexile Dark and used TMS to make the change and it worked fine.
