A public (admin only) members area with a messaging system. And how do I send a message?
Permalink
Hi,
I have groups of users and I would like to be able to send personal messages and then to see the message history of all users. To be able to click on a member via members page and see their messages page, inbox sent box etc.
This way all admins can keep track of the correspondence to the members.
At the moment I can see the 'messages' link which goes to an inbox and sent box but I can't see anywhere to compose a new message to a member.
Also I think you need to be logged in to be able to see the message link. So I can only see my messages link but not the other members.
As this is being used as a way of tracking messages that have been sent to potential clients so we can see what contact they have had and history etc, we need this message facility to be open.
So the messages section isn't personal anymore but completely open to admins only,
the "members" can't see their pages, we can just see their info and correspondence.
This must be possible as concrete5.org does this with their personal messages system. Obviously you can't see everybody's messages but I m sure it could be done.
I really need to be able to accomplish this and am open to paid assistance.

the memberlist is available at /members
On each members' profile there's a link to send a message (if functionality enabled).
through dashboard>sitemap you can restrict permissions to the member and profile pages.
