Hi @jerry0
Yes, that is possible!
One way to do this is to look up the current user’s trust level and use that as a base to determine whether or not to create the PM button.
You would use something like this:
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.18">
// no need to edit these
const container = Discourse.__container__,
controller = container.lookup("controller:application"),
trust = controller.get("currentUser.trust_level");
api.decorateWidget("header-buttons:after", helper => {
// change desired trust level here
if (Discourse.User.current() && trust >= "2") {
// edit these two to your liking
var $ntb_text = "New Personal Message",
$ntb_icon = "heart",
// no need to edit these
$ntb_icon_class = ".fa-" + $ntb_icon,
$ntb_button_class = "btn btn-default btn btn-icon-text",
$ntb_button_helper = "button#new-create-topic-custom",
$ntb_icon_helper =
"i.fa" + $ntb_icon_class + ".d-icon .d-icon-" + $ntb_icon,
$ntb_label_helper = "span.d-button-label";
const createPM = function() {
const Composer = require("discourse/models/composer").default,
composerController = container.lookup("controller:composer");
composerController.open({
action: Composer.PRIVATE_MESSAGE,
// 1- set recipients (Case Sensitive) or comment the line below
usernames: "discobot,john,mike",
// 2- set title or comment the line below
topicTitle: "Title",
// 3- uncomment the line below to set a "template" for PM.
// Not really recommended will
// override any drafts everytime the
// button is pressed
// topicBody: "placeholder content",
// no need to change these
archetypeId: "private_message",
draftKey: Composer.NEW_PRIVATE_MESSAGE_KEY
});
};
return helper.h(
$ntb_button_helper,
{
className: $ntb_button_class,
title: $ntb_text,
onclick: createPM
},
[helper.h($ntb_icon_helper), helper.h($ntb_label_helper, $ntb_text)]
);
}
});
</script>
