Button on user profile page to send email

Question

I think this is pretty simple, but I don't know what's the best way to achieve this.

This is what I need:

• Add a button on each user profile page. When another user clicks on the button, it opens a form (in a popup window would be great) to write the message. The email should be sent to the user of the profile page we are seeing.

If it's not possible to add a form, I just need a "mailto:useremail" so when i click the button opens the outlook our gmail, wtv.

How can I do this? Is there a simple way?

Thank you!

Answer 1

To get what you want, you need to modify the template user, to do this you need to follow the next steps:

1. Find the file called user-profile.tpl it is in the module user modules\user (NOT inside sites/all/modules).

2. Once you found it, open it, and you should see at the end of the file something like this:

print render($user_profile);

3. Now copy and paste this line of code inside php tags:

$usr = user_load(arg(1));

echo 'mail.'?Subject=textyouwant" target="_blank">Send Mail';

That should work !

@Drii7, Drupal provides with a default contact us form, but if you insist to use the mailto:username, you can overwrite the template in the user module as suggested by @DarkteK. You can copy the file in your theme's templates folder and add a mailto link where you want.
