button directly to message a user

Hello,

I am really sorry about the delay, I have been working on newer versions and I couldn’t keep an eye on my inbox for a while.. Apologize about this.

You can add this code to your child theme’s functions file to make a shortcode:

add_shortcode('wpc-link-to-chat', function($atts) {

	$a = shortcode_atts( array(
		'user_id' => wp_get_current_user()->ID
    ), $atts );

	$user_id = (int) "{$a['user_id']}";
	$wpchats = new wpchats;
	return $wpchats->get_settings( 'messages_page' ) . "?recipient=$user_id";

});

And then you can use [wpc-link-to-chat user_id="{id_for_user_to_contact}"] or in PHP <?php echo do_shortcode('[wpc-link-to-chat user_id="3"]'); ?>..

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Regards,
Samuel
