user ID- Creating link to new thread screen with prefilled username and message

[lipawdziczy]

Hello.
Where can I find my User ID?
I want to add internal messages. I found a plug; “better message”
Messages are to be sent directly to the advertiser. Without selecting a user from the list.
The plugin author gave me this link;
https://www.wordplus.org/knowledge-base/creating-link-to-new-thread-screen-with-prefilled-username/

How to get the user ID that will automatically change in the plug? What do you have to enter there for it to work?

Hi, is this meant for GeoDirectory? If so can you explain more what you are trying to do? If you just want to get the author ID of a listing you can use:
geodir_get_listing_author($listing_id);

Thanks,

Stiofan

Thank you for your answer.
This is a third-party plug-in. I’ve been looking for internal messages for some time. I described my problem here:

I’ll check it out soon. I will write if it works.

Thank you and best regards

Hi @lipawdziczy,

not sure this is the solution for you, especially because the plugin is not free, but we have this plugin that allows users to send a direct message to listing owners, inspired by the Facebook messenger interface.

https://userswp.io/downloads/private-messages/

You’ll need to install UsersWP as well and it will allow sending messages to listing owner by adding the UWP > Message widget somewhere on the listing detail page and using ‘post_author’ in the User ID option of the widget or shortcode.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Thanks @paoltaia

At first glance, the plug looks good.
Is the message sent directly to the advertiser? Is it necessary to first select an advertiser from the list? then send a message.

I can see you can put a shortcode. So that’s probably the solution.

Is there a demo of the news?

At the same time, I am talking to your team about the application. Testing an app from a different developer. But your application looks much better.

When you add the UWP > Message shortcode/block in the detail page, it adds a button to the listing. When that button is clicked, it opens a chat with the listing owner directly, no need to set up anything else.

We built it with Facebook pages in mind…

Thanks,

I don’t have a demo yet, but I’ll build it asap…

The plugin author has updated all the data he needs.
Now “userID” is retrieved automatically. The plugin works as expected.

I am talking to your department about the application. It would be good to see the solution proposed by you (internal messages) in the application.

“dService” is also a chat? I was looking at the chat at the bottom of the page, but I think I’m doing something wrong because the messages are disappearing. No messages appear in the demo user panel.
