Add field to 'contact' node authors

Should this check to see if the user has permission to even visit the contact form?

Should probably call it directly. But that leads to another issue: This should probably be in views_contact.module rather than views_user.module since this feature won't exist if contact.module isn't enabled.

That means creating a new file for this feature.

Here it is as it's own .inc file.

The _access_user_contact_tab() thinger seemed to be for HEAD, so I've copied DRUPAL-5's definition for access on the contact_menu $item, which checks to see that the global $user->uid is non-zero.

Just pinging this to see if there's any progress. 6.0 perhaps?

Pulling out this old request. I needed a way to put a link to the user contact page into a view, so I got this working in Views 2. You can create your own text for the link or use the icon image. It turns out to be pretty simple to do in Views 2 using the older code as a starting point.

Per the comments above, it's in a separate contact.inc file and we test user access with _contact_user_tab_access($account).

It also works nicely if you create a view based on the user table of your users to show a contact link next to each name.

One more time, the previous patch had another patch in it, this one is clean.

Apologies in advance for being a total newbie (and probable ignoramous)...

I applied the 2/6/2009 patch above to my Drupal 6.9 views/includes/handlers.inc (which also created 2 new files contact.views.inc and views_handler_field_contact_link.inc)

I'm looking all over the Edit View page for my user_list view (straight out of the examples that came with the views module) and I'm not seeing anything like the configuration objects shown in contact_view.png above.

I'd love to have a contact link on my table of users/profiles like in the example above.

What step am I missing?

You probably need to flush your cache. You can go directly to mysql and TRUNCATE cache_views;

Commited to 2.x and 3.x branches.
