[#5600] use the Request Connection Javascript link for other uses

Hello Kyle,
I updated the Auto actions plugin to the latest release and also the conditionals to the latest. and created an Autoaction for Private message , it created a URL as follows :-

http://localhost/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&view=pluginclass&plugin=cbautoactions&action=action&actions=59&Itemid=488&&users=[user_id]

when i use this URL in custom HTML it doesn't send a PM to the user whose profile is being visited, but when i use the URL to send a message to the user's own profile that works.

so the URL works but only to send a self message.

Thanks
Pranay

Please ensure your PM action is configured as exampled in my reply below.

The From needs to be of the viewing user while the To would be of the trigger user. Ensure the &users= is replacing as expected in your Custom HTML field. It should have the user id of the displayed user.

Hello Kyle,

I followed your instructions word to word. and in Customer HTML field when i put in that URL and add &users=[user_id] part in the end, and go to some other user's profile i do see their id at the end of the URL, but it is not part of the URL somehow, because when i hover over the link that id does not change color. and when i click the link a message is sent to my own profile instead of that user. Also when i go to that link and type in that users id at the end of the link manually in the browser and refresh, that user gets a message from their own profile.


Thanks

Please provide the exact contents of your Custom HTML field in a forum code tag.

<address><a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&amp;view=pluginclass&amp;plugin=cbautoactions&amp;action=action&amp;actions=59&amp;Itemid=488&amp;users=">http://localhost/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&amp;view=pluginclass&amp;plugin=cbautoactions&amp;action=action&amp;actions=59&amp;Itemid=488&amp;users=[user_id]</address>

Your substitution is outside the href. Try the below.
