Add new message to Message Centre moderation queue

Hi,
Is is possible to use the API to add new messages to the Message Center queue?

At the moment I'm using the following code:

$uddeim = new uddeIMAPI();

$result = $uddeim->sendNewMessage( $user_id, $recipient, $msgTxt, 0, 0 );


This adds it to the uddeim table but I also need the message adding to the Message Centre moderation queue. Is this possible?

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie

This is currently not possible with the API.

When you create a new message using the API is it really necessary to moderate the message? Can you give me a scenario where this feature is useful. Maybe I will add this as a new feature to the API.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response.

Here's the requirement - this is a site for 'vulnerable' users, all messages between registered users (JomSocial) are moderated before delivery (this is covered in the T&Cs). This works well using the Message Centre, etc.

However, when a Guest searches & finds a user, then I want them to be able to message that user while they register, but for the message to be moderated before delivery as above.

I'm using my own plugin to enable this using the function onUserAfterSave().

I suspect mine is a minority use case!

However, I'm willing to use raw sql if there's not a way using the API. I notice that the sendNewMessage() returns the ID of the new message - is there the sql to 'move' this new message into the moderation queue?

Any pointers?

Thanks again,
Eddie

Yes, you can use the ID to set the "moderated" field in #__uddeim to 1. This will place the message in the moderation queue.

Hi,
Thanks but my #__uddeim table doesn't have a field "moderated" ->


I'm running 2.8 stable

Cheers,

Is it the 'delalyed' field?

Thanks,
Eddie
