Hello,

I would like to integrate the privatemsg module with the userpoints API. Basically, what I am trying to reach is that everytime a messages is sent, the user sending the message will get a certain number of points.

The assistance I need is just to know if there is a hook that I can utilize in my module in order to grant point, once the private message has been successfully sent. If not a hook, then could you provide me with the information on how to do it?

Many thanks in advance. Yoel

Sure, see http://blog.worldempire.ch/de/api/group/message_hooks/1 and especially, http://blog.worldempire.ch/de/api/function/hook_privatemsg_message_insert/1. Note that author in hook_insert() (and most other hooks) is a user object, not just the uid.

Super! hooks_privatemsg_message_insert($message) does exactly the job

Thanks!

You can probably also use rules module, since userpoints does have Rules integration and privatemsg does have #327938: Rules Integration

Tested with Rules and it worked great - allows for 'when message is sent' (however, if anyone needs, not 'when message is received').

Hi
is it possible to have "when message is read" rule option ?

Wrong issue, post that to the other one (privatemsg_rules).

There is already an hook for that (hook_privatemsg_message_view), but you might want to check if the message is unread ($message['is_new'] = 1) so that you only give points when the message is read the first time... I suppose.

As a response for #3:

function communitypoints_privatemsg_message_insert($message) {
  global $user;
	$params = array (
		'uid' => $user->uid,
		'points' => 5,
		'description' => 'You have sent a private message to a user of the community [msg id: 15]',
		);
		userpoints_userpointsapi($params); 
}

As a response for #4:

The rules can do the job, but the standard implementation of userpoint UI does not enables to add a describtion. Since it is important for my project to have a comprehensive description of the points I had to create customized functions.

Thanks for sharing your code, I've created a first version of a book page which also includes a modified version of your code, see http://drupal.org/node/646512.
