Hi, I've tried placing the contact button manually in my theme with "<?php if(function_exists('im_contact_button')) { im_contact_button(); } ?>"

The button seems to work, but I get a warning (I do have PHP errors turned on):
Warning
: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in
/var/www/html/oc-content/plugins/instant_messenger/index.php
on line
364

Any way around that? Thanks.

Alright, I fixed it by adding osc_item() and added the check to hide the button from the item poster like in the normal form:

<?php if (osc_logged_user_id()!=osc_item_user_id()){
          if(function_exists('im_contact_button')) { im_contact_button(osc_item()); }
} ?>

I'd suggest updating it in the plugin configuration tab in admin under "PLUGIN SETUP" for the next release, cheers.

It is bit strange as if item object is not provided, item ID should be found using osc_item_id() function, that is why it is not mentioned in guide.

I'm very new to programming so apologies if I say something stupid, but googling the error I found a lot of threads about this being a new warning in php8 (comparing to an index that does not exist yet). So here when we compare to null, it throws a warning:


I wondered why the hook button didn't have warning, and found it has the item declared:


So I just added it to mine.

you can change it to !isset($item['pk_i_id']) || $item['pk_i_id'] == ''
