Buddypress Messaging

Hey.

Another way to restrict creating new messages for those who do not have enough points is to override the compose.php template file in your BP theme by wrapping the entire form with a balance check. So if the user does not have enough points, the form is not loaded and users can not create new messages, however they can reply to messages already started.

It’s what I do on the myCRED.me website where you must have a minimum balance and a specific myCRED rank to start new conversations. You can however reply to already existing messages without any restrictions.

Would I wrap the entire compose.php with mycred_get_users_cred? I’m not great at code so not exactly sure how to wrap it.

And is there a way to show a message when they have a 0 balance when the form is not shown?

Thanks

I found this on one of your example pages:

// Example
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$balance = mycred_get_users_cred( $user_id );
if ( $balance > 0 ) {
// balance is over zero show the form
}
else {
// balance is lower then zero show something else
}

Would I use this? I am trying to input this by putting the <form></form> in the “show form” section but can’t seem to get it right

Hey.

This is how I would do it.

In the top of the compose.php file I insert as the very first thing:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'mycred_get_users_cred' ) && mycred_get_users_cred( get_current_user_id() ) == 0  ) : ?>

	<h3>Access Denied</h3>
	<p>You must have more then zero points to send messages.</p>

<?php else : ?>

Then on the bottom of the page as the very last thing I insert:

<?php endif; ?>

This will “wrap” the form in a balance check and show the example message I am using if the user has zero points.

Worked great. I worked with you before to exclude a specific membership from mycred with the code.

/* Exclude gold from credits */
add_filter('bp_member_name','kleo_member_username');

add_filter( 'mycred_exclude_user', 'check_membership_exclusion', 10, 2 );
function check_membership_exclusion( $result, $user_id ) {
	// Make sure Paid Memberships Pro is installed
	if ( ! function_exists( 'pmpro_hasMembershipLevel' ) ) return $result;

	// If the user has membership "gold exclude
	if ( pmpro_hasMembershipLevel( 'gold', $user_id ) ) return true;
	return $result;
}

The code you posted above also blocks even the excluded membership. Is there a way to allow the excluded membership to message with a 0 balance?

Thank you

It will work exactly how I need it to if there is a way for that code to bypass the excluded members.

Thanks again.

Replace the very first code snippet with the following:

<?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
// all the reasons to deny access
if (
	( function_exists( 'mycred_get_users_cred' ) && mycred_get_users_cred( $user_id ) == 0 ) ||
	( function_exists( 'pmpro_hasMembershipLevel' ) && pmpro_hasMembershipLevel( 'gold', $user_id ) )
) : ?>

You would need to change “gold” to whatever level you want to deny access to the file.

Doesn’t appear to work with that code. Still blocks the “gold” membership from sending messages with 0 balance. I will keep trying, and let you know if I come up with anything.

Figured it out. Switched the code to this and it worked:

<?php
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
// all the reasons to deny access
if (
	( function_exists( 'mycred_get_users_cred' ) && mycred_get_users_cred( $user_id ) == 0 && function_exists( 'pmpro_hasMembershipLevel' ) && pmpro_hasMembershipLevel( 'gold', $user_id ) )
) : ?>

Thank you for your help!

Ah sorry I misunderstood. I thought you wanted either or.

No problem. Thanks for helping!
