Wiki Macro to create MM Direct Message link to user via MM userid
Macro %MM%- Macro is declared on Wiki site here:- WebPreferences
- Admin User info on FOSWIKI Macros
- Suppose @john_itdh is a valid MM UserID, then include this into the Wikitext: %MM{"@john_itdh"}%
- This will first be expanded to this code
[[https://organise.earth/xr-netherlands/messages/@john_itdh][@john_itdh][Name:=_blank]] - And it will look like this on the rendered page @john_itdh
- If user clicks the link
- If MM UserID is valid a "Direct Message" dialog will open in a new Tab in user's browser.
- If userid not valid, it will open a Town Square page (but does not raise an error message)
