If your custom code put into Easysocial theme file, you can use following code :

$user = ES::user($agent->user_id);



<button type="button" class="btn btn-es-default-o btn-sm btn--es-conversations-compose" 

	data-es-conversations-compose

	data-id="<?php echo $user->id;?>">

    Request more Details

</button>

Hi Arlex,

thanks for responding. My custom code isn't inside easysocial it is in OSProperty files. If you open the dev site (see details on the edited post) then click on Buy then click on the first property image and then scroll down the page to where the Agent's contact details are you will see Request more Details -
it is that link I want to replace with a button that opens up the message box. I think they edited .../components/com_osproperty/classes/listing.html.php as it had to be done there because of how osproperty files were structured.
I think for that reason that code can't go anywhere else. I don't know if that makes sense to you?

Kind regards

Mel

You can try using this Mel,

[gist]
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-es-conversations-compose
data-id="<?php echo $user->id;?>">
Request more Details
</button>
[/gist]

Thanks Mark!

that creates the button when you view page:
https://www.linkprocrm.com/agents-reps/kevins

and it also opens a popup box that looks like it may be the message compose box, however it is blank inside and has an error message: Sorry, but the list id provided is not valid.

But it doesn't change the Request more Details for the user at all on this page:
https://www.linkprocrm.com/rent/sacfifice-30-000-below-market-value-owner-now-living-overseas

I know the 2 files I have to edit, the are .../classes/agent.html.php line 1629
and classes/listing.html.php line 1726

I replaced the existing code with yours in both.

And I believe these were also customised by yourselves to add the easysocial links:

.../components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/agentdetails.php
.../components/com_osproperty/helpers/layouts/agentslist.php

And lastly this os_property theme: 08012017160546theme1

It must be fairly close?

I was unable to login on your dev site, it seems like you blocked that user which you provided us that login credentials in this thread.

Based on what you told us, it seems like it can show the pop up just that you hitting this following warning right?

Sorry, but the list id provided is not valid.

If yes, mean your user id is not get correctly, you should try var_dump($user->id);exit; and see what is the value it return.

If it return null, mean something wrong from the way you pass in that $user variable.

Hi Arlex,

I haven't blocked the login, but I did change the login credentials in the first thread, however it seems to have reverted to a site that no loner exists/is live. I need to remove it from my account. I will go do that now then try and change the login credentials again

Hi Arlex,

I have hopefully removed the site now from my details page. I have added the developer site credentials to the additional information box. Can you see them?

Mel

Apologies, I have now added details to this last post - didn't realise I could that.

Thanks, it seems like you pass wrong variable into this section.

$ESuser = ES::user($agent->user_id);

									?>



										<li>

											<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" 

                                                	data-es-conversations-compose

                                                	data-id="<?php echo $user->id;?>">

                                                    Request more Details

                                            </button>

												

											</a>

										</li>

Then i replace to :

$ESuser = ES::user($agent->user_id);

									?>



										<li>

											<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" 

                                                	data-es-conversations-compose

                                                	data-id="<?php echo $ESuser->id;?>">

                                                    Request more Details

                                            </button>

												

											</a>

										</li>

It should work fine now, i modified on this file
JoomlaFolder/components/com_osproperty/classes/agent.html.php

Arlex,

thank you so much!!!

Now it works so much better and more logically.

Have a great weekend

Mel
