Hi Tushar,

thank you for ypur support.
How do i apply your patches? I dont know hoq to apply it over the command shell (ubuntu).

Many greetings.

Hi aze2010,
There is a "patch" command provided by the ubuntu, using which you can apply the patch to a file. For the details, refer to manual pages of patch command from the terminal using "$man patch".

After applying the patch, please assign the "write message" permission to the anonymous user in people -> permissions.

Thank you.

Hi Tushar,

i got one question...how can i change the redirect-path after anonymous user did send a message?
Usually it will redirect to inbox, but anonymous user dont get any inbox so the system puts a error message out "no access permission..." or recirect to login-form and so on.

Any solution to fix this for anonymous user?

Many greetings
Alex

Hi Alex,
Please paste the following code snippet in the "privatemsg.pages.inc" file and get your required functionality done.

<?php
/**
 * Submit callback for the privatemsg_new_anonymous form.
 */
function privatemsg_new_anonymous_submit($form, &$form_state) {
  $message = $form_state['validate_built_message'];
  field_attach_submit('privatemsg_message', $message, $form, $form_state);

  // Format each recipient.
  $recipient_names = array();
  foreach ($message->recipients as $recipient) {
    $recipient_names[] = privatemsg_recipient_format($recipient);
  }
  try {
    $message = _privatemsg_send($message);
    _privatemsg_handle_recipients($message->mid, $message->recipients);
    drupal_set_message(t('A message has been sent to !recipients.', array('!recipients' => implode(', ', $recipient_names))));
    // Only redirect on new threads.
    if ($message->mid == $message->thread_id || variable_get('privatemsg_default_redirect_reply', FALSE)) {
        $form_state['redirect'] = $_REQUEST['destination'];
    }
  }
  catch (Exception $e) {
    if (error_displayable()) {
      require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/errors.inc';
      $variables = _drupal_decode_exception($e);
      drupal_set_message(t('Failed to send a message to !recipients. %type: !message in %function (line %line of %file).', array('!recipients' => implode(', ', $recipient_names)) + $variables), 'error');
    }
    else {
      drupal_set_message(t('Failed to send a message to !recipients. Contact your site administrator.', array('!recipients' => implode(', ', $recipient_names))), 'error');
    }
  }
}

?>

Thank you.
