improvements of the messaging feature

[Douweboschma]

Hi, something I would like to see improved is:

1. That messaging does not take you to your own profile. I mean, now the user has to hit the back button in their browser a couple of times. What though might be smooth is a messaging pop-up in stead.

2. A message button direct on the cards after you do a search would be nico too. Preferably the same popup that disappears after the message has been sent so that you can browse profiles further.

While we are at it 😉 The image on the user-card that come up after search as clickable and linked to the profile would be excellent. Even I keep on clicking the images while I know they are not linked.

These plugins are what you’re looking for. They work great:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-extended-friendship-request/

Also, you can easily link the profile image in the user-card with this href code in your members-loop.php:

Hi, Thanks.

I’ve tried bp-profile-message-ux but nothing happens when I click on “message” in a profile. Thanks for the image link tip. I will try it tomorrow!

[adam]

you’re clicking the private message button? it must be conflicting with another plug-in?

[Douweboschma]

I am clicking on that button yes. If I click on the button after the plugin install nothing happens. Just a button click with no effect. I have brought down the installed plugins to the essentials so I don’t think I can resolve it by uninstalling something else.

I have the same problem. I just sent the author a message.

[Douweboschma]

Thanks. Can you reply the response here? 🙂

They had me switch to the Twenty Thirteen theme and I tested the bp-profile-message-ux free and it worked fine. I then switched back to Sweetdate Child and I click on the private message button and nothing happens.

I’m running WP 3.6.1 BuddyPress 1.8.1

[adam]

that’s really strange. it works perfectly for me.

[aztlanla]

Adam are you using the free version?

[SQadmin]

Make sure you have the latest v.2.2 theme installed. We will release v2.3 soon also.
You should check for javascript errors in your browser console

yes – free version.

I am running Sweetdate v2.2. I checked developer mode on IE 10, FF and the latest Chrome. I don’t see any errors.

I did an inspect on the Private message button. I pasted it below.

< ?php bp_head(); ?> was not there. I added it right before < ?php wp_head(); ?> and cleared the cache on my browsers. I tried the private message button, but it did not work.

[SQadmin]

@adam this is working for you, right?

@aztlanla please wait for v2.3 that is coming these days and re-test
