 * Hi,
    I like to place this plugin on the menu in my site’s header where users 
   can invite people as they wish, without going to buddypress’s Activity area. 
   If I copy that link that initiates it, it would be: [http://domain.com/members/username/invite-anyone/](http://domain.com/members/username/invite-anyone/)
   Is there a shortcode that initiates this that I can use in the menu?
 * Thanks for all help.
 * Cheers,
 * Dave

 * Hi Dave – When you say a “shortcode”, do you mean an item at Dashboard > Appearance
   > Menus? Or do you mean a literal shortcode, of the form `[invite_anyone_link]`?

 * Hi Boone,
    Well, I like to display Invite Friends on the menu which as you said
   will be done at Dashboard > Appearance > Menus. I have got this plugin that also
   allows you to place shortcodes in the menu, but is [invite_anyone_link] a valid
   shortcode to use?

 * Ah, I understand now. No, `[invite_anyone_link]` is not valid, though it wouldn’t
   be too hard to build. (Incidentally, it’s much easier to build than new checkboxes
   at Dashboard > Appearance > Menus.) I’ve opened a Github ticket for the shortcode
   suggestion, and hopefully I’ll be able to add it in the next version of Invite
   Anyone.

 * The shortcode will also enable users to place your plugin at any location in 
   their site as they see fit. Great work!

 * I’m also looking fora shortcode, or at least a snippet of code I can add to a
   custom page template to display the invite form.
 * I simply want the invite form displayed on it’s own page.
