Pre-fill message box on opening chat

https://www.better-messages.com/docs/development/php-functions/create_conversation_link

Hello,

I’m using the latest plugin 2.0.90?version.

The ‘New conversation screen’ code block doesn’t seem to fill in the user and the message. The other block is more what I’m looking for but it says message doesn’t work on that mode.

Using $_GET doesn’t work due to the redirect, otherwise I could use something like document.querySelector(‘.bm-editor-content’).innerHTML = <?php echo esc_attr($_GET[‘msg’]); ?>

I’ll try something else.


Thank you.

I would recommend to learn which link is generating by that function provided in docs, for the developer it should explain how to create filled new conversation link for the BM 2.0.

Hello,

I’ve added the following code:

function bp_better_messages_filledout_msg($url_overwritten, $user_id ){

	if( isset($_GET['message']) ) { 
	
		$message = sanitize_text_field(strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_GET['message'])));	
	
		$args_ = ['message' => $message] ;
		
		$url_overwritten = add_query_arg($args_, $url_overwritten);	
	}
	
	return $url_overwritten;
}
add_filter( 'bp_better_messages_page', 'bp_better_messages_filledout_msg', 9999, 2 );

This way it carries the message after the redirect, then on the chat page I add:

		if(void 0===waitForElm)function waitForElm(e){return new Promise((t=>{if(document.querySelector(e))return t(document.querySelector(e));const o=new MutationObserver((r=>{document.querySelector(e)&&(t(document.querySelector(e)),o.disconnect())}));o.observe(document.body,{childList:!0,subtree:!0})}))}

if(isset($_GET['message'])){
			$msg_ = sanitize_text_field((strip_tags(htmlspecialchars($_GET['message']))));
			
			?>
			<script> waitForElm('.bm-editor-content').then((elm) => { elm.innerHTML = '<?php echo $msg_; ?>';}); </script>
			<?php
		}

So it fills in the message.

Thank you.
