Rewrite privatemsg_link field in views

I assume that you thought about privatemsg not "directmessage". If so you can update your view's table with jQuery. For every user who disabled privatemsg the module simple leave the proper table cell empty. So hint is: find the empty cells and update their content to the desired one.

$('td.views-field-privatemsg-link').each( function() {
   if ($(this).children().length == 0) {
      $(this).text('disabled');
   }
});

Hi @vistree, hint is still the same
add custom "row_class" to your Unordered list settings in your view.
Then, with jQuery, look through your rows to find Send message or anything else you set up in your "Text to display" of privatemsg link field, and then add anything you want for each row which doesn't have a privatemsg link.

$('.row_class').each( function() {
		if (!$(this).find('a:contains("Send message")').length) {
			$(this).append('disabled');
		}
	});	

It works.

Hi guys!

I couldn't hide the field from settings either so I wrote a patch that adds the exclude option to views_handler_field_privatemsg_link, might be useful for you too.

Cheers!
