Hello. Transfer of points from one user to another is not convenient. The name of user must be given correct and completely. PrivateMessages module includes the feature to auto-completion of user names. The following code uses provides the support for this feature:

File user2userpoints.module (function user2userpoints_giveform)

old code:

$form['to'] = array(                                                                                                 
       '#type'          => 'textfield',                                                                                
       '#title'         => t('To'),                                                                                    
       '#default_value' => $name,                                                                                      
       '#size'          => 50,                                                                                         
       '#maxlength'     => 64,                                                                                         
       '#required'      => TRUE                                                                                        
  );

new code:

$form['to'] = array(                                                                                                 
       '#type'          => 'textfield',                                                                                
       '#title'         => t('To'),                                                                                    
       '#default_value' => $name,

  }

Can you please supply a patch to provide this functionality. Additionally you can use autocomplete without the private messaging module so I would request that you remove the if (module_exists) portion of the patch and simply use the autocomplete feature within FAPI.

Forms API (FAPI) documentation can be found at http://api.drupal.org

Thanks for taking the time to submit the code changes and a patch, everyone appreciates it!

This code works too:

function user2userpoints_giveform($name = '') {                                                                        
  $form = array();                                                                                                     
  $form['to'] = array(                                                                                                 
       '#type'          => 'textfield',                                                                                
       '#title'         => t('To'),                                                                                    
       '#default_value' => $name,                                                                                      
       '#size'          => 50,                                                                                         
       '#maxlength'     => 64,                                                                                         
       '#required'      => TRUE,                                                                                       
       '#autocomplete_path'=> 'user/autocomplete'                                                                      
  );

  ...

So we can avoid using personal messages module!

wonderful! thanks for cleaning up the code to remove the dependency on the PM modules.

Now could I bother you to create a patch for this, please?
http://drupal.org/patch for instructions.

Patches are THE way to get your code commited into a project. The code you provided is immensely useful and a patch would be divine.

Thanks!

Sorry for pinging the participants.

Now that Drupal 7 is out, there is no support for Drupal 5 and the
corresponding modules anymore. Therefore, I'm closing all old issues
which are still open.

I suggest you upgrade to Drupal 6 or 7 and figure out if you're feature
is still needed or the bug still exists and open a new issue in that
case.
