 * Hi!
 * First, I’d like to thank you, sending message is nicer now 🙂
 * I would like to add a send private message button in my post ( properties, I’m
   using Realia template ) in order to contact their author. Can you tell me what
   is the link or code to add where I want to display it ? I found ” bp_send_private_message_link()”
   but it doesn’t work and I have no idea why.. Your plugin have a function that
   I can call ?
 * Thank in advance
    Jennifer

 * This plugin is specific to BuddyPress profile pages.
 * This code is separate from this plugin, but can be placed in the `while` loop
   on single post pages and will provide a private message link for logged in users:
 * `<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) echo '<a href="' . wp_nonce_url( bp_loggedin_user_domain().
   bp_get_messages_slug() . '/compose/?r=' . get_the_author_meta('user_login') ).'"
   title="Send a private message to this user" class="send-message">Private Message
   </a>'; ?>`
 * To display a form for creating and sending the message from within the post page
   would require a custom function to create the form and another custom function
   to handle submission.
