Hi Scott,
I am now thinking of using Private Messages even more in the ST product suite - for example, I am working on a "My Friends" functionality for the ST UserProfile module, and I want to send a "Friend Request" email to the user you want to add as your friend.
I then thought that instead of reinventing the wheel I could just call the PM CreateMessage (or whatever) and it would handle the sending et.c of the message. The advantages are that the use gets a consistient interface and all their internal mails are stored in one place.
I have the same requirement for inviting people to events, groups and leagues, but I think it could be quite a simple requirement.
Obviously I don't want to create work for you - I just wanted to hear your thoughts on this - do you expose the CreateMessage function in your assembly? I would have to reference the .dll but I would wrap it in a Setting so that they have to have it installed.
What do you think?

A few methods, you could reference the assembly or directly call the stored proc.
Let me know if there is anything you need from my side to achieve this. |

| Hmm - so if I called the SP directly would it handle the actually sending by email and doing all the correct business logic (send email, put in Sent items etc) - or would it just tell the user that they have a new message (with the popup, if enabled). I'll start going through your source a bit - if this works it could really be pretty cool, but it may need to handle bulk sending... |

No you would need the assembly for that, and actually, now that I think of it, it wouldn't work too well because it uses the "settings" for that module instances. But if you referenced it, those settings wouldn't exist.
I think the best method might be to create some kind of API. |
