Lack of interest Additional GET Parameters for Conversations / URL to add multiple participants and title

[James]

How do I go about adding multiple participants to a conversation via the URL?
This URL (http://xenforo.com/community/conversations/add?to=james) will start a conversation with me - but I cannot figure out how to add two participants. I tried comma-separated, semi-colon separated, multiple to=username.

EDIT: I'd like to suggest to be able to add multiple participants via the URL.

I just tried a few methods myself and it didn't work. Then I looked in the code and found that it only handles an individual username via the URL. You can't specify multiple names.

If you are curious about the code:

library/XenForo/ControllerPublic/Conversation.php
> actionAdd()

You would have to modify this code to accept multiple usernames.

Thanks Jake, I'll get the thread moved to suggestions.

ATM we're able to use this link: conversations/add/to=foo to get to the create conversation form where the first participant is automatic inserted.

My suggestions are:

• Make it possible to have more preselected participants (to=ragtek,baz,foo)
• Add also a way to add the title as get parameter for example: /to=ragtek,baz,foo&title=start

Edit: it seems that suggestion1 was suggested: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/conversations-url-adding-multiple-participants.14331/

It would be enought to add pls a value variable to the the conversation_add template, so we're able to add values there, everything else can then be done via plugins^^

<dl class="ctrlUnit">
<dt><label for="ctrl_title">{xen:phrase title}:</label></dt>
<dd><input type="text" name="title" class="textCtrl" data-liveTitleTemplate="{xen:phrase start_new_conversation}: <em>%s</em>" id="ctrl_title" maxlength="100" /></dd>
</dl>

<dl class="ctrlUnit">
<dt><label for="ctrl_title">{xen:phrase title}:</label></dt>
<dd><input type="text" name="title" value="{$conversationTitle}" class="textCtrl" data-liveTitleTemplate="{xen:phrase start_new_conversation}: <em>%s</em>" id="ctrl_title" maxlength="100" /></dd>
</dl>

It would be cool if we could predefine Participants, Title & Message forms within a link.

Got the inspiration from the mailto attribute.

So with html you can use:

<a href="mailto:homer@example.com?subject=Doh!">Email Homer</a>

For PMs/PCs I think an ability to preset a title (subject) would be cool for the resource manager, etc.

Anyone else?

If you can't wait, there is an add-on that does this.
