Shamim's Plugins

Hi Shamim,

Thanks very much for your thoughts and update.

If you can implement this, it will solve a good number of headaches for our membership. I will look forward to the next update to see if you managed to implement it.. 🙂

Morning Shamim,

I decided to take a cleaner approach, so I created a directory “front-end-pm” in the root of my child theme as directed per your instructions and placed a copy of the Directory.php in it.

I placed this entry..
<input type="submit" value="Find" />
as the last entry in the <form> tag structure as per the attached screenshot, in the directory.php.

Will this mean it is less likely to break in the future, are there plans to change the code structure for the directory.php file?

If so I can wait or just keep an eye out for for the changes and remove the bypass after your update if there is to be a change?

Kind regards..

Andrew

Oh, sorry one more thing…

Just thought this would need to take effect in the users WP profile as I have just remembered that you give the option in the users WP profile to allow the them to add themselves to each group listed in that area too.

Hope that makes sense..

Evening Shamim,

Yes, but not restricting all groups only one or selected groups, otherwise it is as you have said so that I can create a group that will be listed in the person settings for Admin or Editors or contributors or what ever roles I choose only. So if I wanted to exclude subscribers or any other role I could for one or more specific groups.

This then means when a new admin ,editor or contributor comes on board only they will see the extra groups listed in their settings amongst all the other pre created groups listed but not the standard members (users / subscribers role).

Hope that clarify’s the situation.

For clarification I have added two attachments for what I mean below, one as an Admin or designated roles and one as subscriber who will not see the group called management in their settings options.

Hi Shamim,

Bit confused as this does not help me, all I have ever done when using your add recipient to the TO field is type the first or last name when setting up a new message or adding a recipient to a group!

So it usually finds the names as I type but not all of them is there a problem doing it this way or is the system it not capable as our users will not know any other way to do it, and they will not know each others email address and for GDPR reasons that’s the way I want to keep it.

Does this then mean I have to retro set every WP users ID with the first and last name publicly in the WP profile section as per attached picture?

If so would there be a way to do this in WP-config as I have a lot of users to administer otherwise?

As it is nearly midnight where you, perhaps you could advise me more tomorrow.. 🙂

Have a good nights sleep.

Andrew

PS..

So that means their ID is the “theargents” from their email theargents@xxxxxx.xx
