Sending Private Message without a subject

[Cenk]

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to make private messaging easier by disabling the (must fill) subject area? Is it adjustable in the PHP section? If so, can you explain me how?

Thank you for your support.

Hi,
You can edit the file members/single/messages/compose.php and the subject line is this one:

COPY CODE

<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" value="<?php bp_messages_subject_value(); ?>" />

You could add a space after or if you don’t want to show the subject then make it a hidden input with a default value like PM:

COPY CODE

<input type="hidden" name="subject" id="subject" value="PM" />

Thanks! You’re awesome. 🙂

It works. But now the message isn’t selectable in the inbox area. How to make it selectable like the subject. Thanks.

Or changing the PM to the sender’s name. Is that possible?

[SQadmin]

I don’t think there is a simple solution for that.

I fact you can edit members/single/messages/messages-loop.php line 43 and replace with this one to show the sender name:

I did that. But now if I click on the name, the code directs me to the profile page.
Can you help me to code a new solution? We can adjust the one you send me.

<input type=”hidden” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”PM” />
to
<input type=”Text” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”Re:” />

I want to have the “Re:” displayed on the inbox message page if the user don’t fill the subject area (leaving it empty)..Giving the user an option.

Example: (sending a message without a subject)
Subject: I (empty) I
Message: somethingsomething

(showing on the inbox page)
Re:
somethingsomething

And

Example: (sending a message with a subject)
Subject: I Beach I
Message: somethingsomething

(showing on the inbox page)
Beach:
somethingsomething

Thanks

Almost worked. If the subject is entered it will not show up in the inbox. The Re: is working.

I did this:
adding a space after < ?php bp_messages_subject_value(); ?>
<input type=”text” name=”subject” id=”subject” value=”<?php bp_messages_subject_value(); ?/> ” />

And adjust the standard code with the one you gave me in the members/single/messages/messages-loop.php.. line 43

<p>” title=”<?php _e( “View Message”, “buddypress” ); ?>”><?php if (bp_get_message_thread_subject() == ‘ ‘) {echo ‘Re:’;} else { bp_message_thread_subject; } ?></p>

Thanks

[SQadmin]

Oh, sorry
it should be bp_message_thread_subject(); instead of bp_message_thread_subject;
