Does this have shortcode, Can use this in wordpress sidebar as form ?

Hello @akgt,

I am sorry about the delay but we’ve just pushed 2.0 online.

You can normally use the basic shortcodes to create a messages link for current user with unread count using:

<a href="[bbpm-messages-link]">Messages ([bbpm-unread-count])</a>

But to make the dynamic form I’d suggest you add this code to your custom plugin or child theme’s functions file:

add_shortcode('bbpm-new-message', 'shortcode_bbpm_new_message');

function shortcode_bbpm_new_message($atts) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts(array(
        'recipient' => 0
    ), $atts);

    extract(array_map('intval', $atts));

    if ( !$recipient )
        return;

    $m = bbpm_messages();

    if ( !$m->current_user )
        return;

    $chat_id = $m->getPrivateSharedChat($recipient, $m->current_user);

    if ( !$chat_id ) {
        $m->set(
            'chat_id',
            $m->set('chat_id', null)->getOrGenerateChatId()
        )->addChatRecipient(array($m->current_user, $recipient));
        $chat_id = $m->get('chat_id');
    }

    if ( class_exists('\BBP_MESSAGES\Inc\Core\Redirect') ) {
        if ( method_exists('\BBP_MESSAGES\Inc\Core\Redirect', 'parseNotices') ) {
            \BBP_MESSAGES\Inc\Core\Redirect::parseNotices('bbpm_errors', 'bbpm_add_error');
            bbpm_template_errors();
        }
    }

    ob_start();
    
    ?>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo bbpm_messages_url('send', $m->current_user); ?>">
        <p class="form-section<?php echo bbpm_has_errors('message') ? ' has-errors' : ''; ?>">
            <label for="message"><?php _e('Type a message:', BBP_MESSAGES_DOMAIN); ?></label>
            <?php echo bbpm_message_field(bbpm_old('message', true)); ?>

            <?php if ( bbpm_has_errors('message') ) : ?>
                <?php bbpm_print_error('message'); ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
        </p>

        <p class="form-submit">
            <?php wp_nonce_field('send_message', 'bbpm_nonce'); ?>
            <input type="hidden" name="chat_id" value="<?php echo $chat_id; ?>" />
            <input type="submit" name="send_message" value="<?php esc_attr_e('Send', BBP_MESSAGES_DOMAIN); ?>" />
            <a href="<?php echo bbpm_messages_url(null, $m->current_user); ?>"><?php _e('Cancel', BBP_MESSAGES_DOMAIN); ?></a>
        </p>
    </form>
    <?php

    return ob_get_clean();
}

That will produce the [bbpm-new-message] shortcode which you can use this way:

[bbpm-new-message recipient=5] where 5 is the user whom current user will be sending messages to.

If you’re not sure about the recipient ID then just link current user to [bbpm-messages-link]new/ where they can search for recipients and compose a message.

Hope that helps, let me know how it goes.

Thanks

Best,
Samuel
