From the product description, it sounded like members can block other members. Is this possible?
I can't find that option anywhere. If someone sends another person a message, I see there are options to "remove" and "report". Neither of them stop the other person from starting a new chat with them.
How do members block someone from sending them messages?
@tomson Please see my other reply and screenshot. Any idea why I'm not seeing the "block" option on my site? I couldn't find any setting that might be affecting it.
Thanks for the reply. But I'm not seeing that. What could be causing it not showing?
?
Ok, I passed this to the addon developers, it seems the block button depends how the conversation is created. If you've manually selected a person to massage with him/her you cannot block him/her, you can only block if somebody contacted you by clicking the [envelop] button of your profile.
Thanks for the response. That clarifies it! Interesting choice on the developers' part, since someone can just add someone into a conversation they want to harass and the other person can't block them.
I see that the blocks are stored in the blocker's user_meta under wpforopm_blocked_userids. I can add my own button to profiles to allow someone to block anyone. Can you ask the developers if there is a public function in the add-on I can call to block a user?
I'd rather use an official function than write directly to the db.
You can disregard my other question. Just adding the html to the page works, and wpforo's javascript properly handles the blocking of a user
If anyone else is looking for this solution:
// add block user choice if not there
if ( jQuery('.wpfpm-uli-cog-report').length && !jQuery('.wpfpm-uli-cog-block').length) {
jQuery('.wpfpm-uli-cog-report').after('<li class="wpfpm-uli-cog-block" title="Block User"><i class="fas fa-ban"></i>Block</li>');
}
