need some code work for wordpress done asap..

Hi all,

I need some help with a new project im working on in wordpress.



I have a question, maybe it is simple for you but im stumped.

"In wordpress" ...

I would like to have it so browsing users, that are looking at a post someone posted. Can send an email relating to that post directly to the author. Just by clicking on a button located at the bottom of the post.

It would be “mailto:” function of sorts i would guess. ?

I want the button to be able to send the email to the author of that specific post, maybe with the post's title in the emailed subject line..

If anyone could give me any idea on what to do, i would really appreciate the help.






Offer your help by pm or post

 

Are you looking for this one?

<a href="mailto:<?php the_author_email(); ?>?subject=<?php the_title(); ?>
">Contact the author</a>

PHP:

 

i can help you out now... $10 for this

 

Oh nice!!!!


It worked thank you sooooooooooooooooo much,

Is it possible to have it so link is only seen or clickable to registered users? Or make it go to a form page that hides the authors email for the guests asking?

(" i am trying to keep away email harvesters and spammers..")


I also wanted to know if it is possible to show how many posts are shown in the profile page of the author?

example. ( (2) Articles posted ) - And would also like the number shown, to be clickable to go to the authors articles..

What file would i edit for this info to go into the profile page of authors?


thx

 

you can try this

<?php
if(isset($_COOKIE['wordpress_logged_in_' . COOKIEHASH]))
{
   echo '<a href="mailto:'.the_author_email().'?subject='.the_title().'">Contact the author</a>';
}
?>
