Here is what I would like to do:
On a page outside my forum I would like a hyperlink that would send a member a static message. Basically the link takes you to a form in the forum, you fill in the form and it sends the message. Then when a member logs in they have a link alerting them to a message.
Example: I want members to be able to challenge each other like so.
Page outside forum with link: Challenge
>>User clicks the link and is sent to form in forum (so I need the M_Member name to carry over so the message already is labeled "From" correctly) fill in date, time, challenge, hit send.
>>Message goes to the member challenged, the message is titled challenge, and from member who issued it, with a hyperlink accept challenge or reject challenge these links would in turn send a static message back to the original member letting them know if the challenge was accepted or rejected.
I kind of have an idea on how to do this, but since I already have PM's installed, I figure that most of the work is done I just need to modify it a bit to include challenges along with PM's.
I figure there is lot's of ways that this simple add on could be added to different sites i.e a dating site could have a quick way to accept or reject in invite. So, I am hoping someone will be interested in helping me with this, or at the very least one of the snitz guru's will help point me in the right direction!
I am using
Private-messages-3.5.05

Not quite and, to be honest, I have nowhere near the time to write something like this, though. The basics would work something like this, though:
01. You'll need a link to privatesend.asp just like any other except you'll need to add a new variable to the querystring to indicate that the PM is a challenge.
02. In privatesend.asp, create a check for the new vriable in your querystring and, if it's there, change the type of the subject input to hidden and give it a value of "Challenge", or whatever you want. Also, add a new hidden input to hold the value of your new querystring variable.
03. In privatesend_info.asp, add a check for the new field to see if the message being sent is a challenge. If it is, add the accept and reject links to the end of the message's body.
04. The accept & reject links will need to link to a custom script and pass the original message ID through the querystring as well as a boolean to indicate whether it has been accepted or rejected. This script would then shoot off an automated message to the challenger indicating the response of the recipient.
