No add-on for link to contact form with prepopulated email address currently exists – use the mailto or if can handle some code, write own add-on to link to own contact form:

Thank you for this plugin is a real help for me.
Just a quick question.
I am using another plugin that displays the time zone of users using a shortcode. Is there a place in amr-users where can I place the shortcode (do_shortcode[name]) so it shows that information in one of the columns?
Thanks a lot,

[grimace]…. no.
where is the users timezone stored ? Ideally it should be in the usermeta and the plugin would then simply find it when you do ‘find fields’ and have some users with timezones.
if it’s stored elsewhere (sadly) then an add-on can grab it and make it look like it was stored in the usermeta.

Im am using the -whereabouts- plugin to ask users to choose location and local time, i am not sure where it stores the data. What plugin add-on do you recommend me to buy?
Thanks in advance!

Tintalent,
If you really need to show users timezones, perhaps you should find another way:
I had a quick look at ‘whereabouts’:
* it doesn’t use wordpress/php timezones (only the UTC offset). This is somewhat annoying to people who live in areas with daylight savings as half the year their timezone will be wrong (eg: sydney is sometime UTC-10 and sometime UTC-11). To be more accurate, the timezone should be from the wp/ olsen data base eg: Australia/Sydney – like the timezone in the wp settings page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones.
* It is possible for users Not to click on google location, just to pick a UTC-x. In that case it does not store a tz name, just the difference in seconds – why, why not store the tz code??
* It does store the data in the usermeta. Not the ideal way, but the plugin will find it and extract the various fields so they look like individual fields. So as noted above if you had created some test data and then run find fields, you should have seen these fields. see screenshots below. The location and time zones data stored would have come up and you can display them. An add-on would be required to show current time of that timezone.

An add-on to show it’s data as not necessary as the user plugin will/does show what is there (such as it is).
I’m unlikely to provide an add-on to fix what’s there for the above reasons and also low user base (no return for me) and I’d probably rather code my own that works differently (why in the dashboard for example – many folks get rid of the dashboard – why not in the user profile? )
Final gripe – please start new topics when the existing topics subject line does not match your question. THis helps other users.

of course you can get someone to write a tiny little addon to format say those ‘seconds’ difference to show the current time

Good! Thank you for your time in checking that out. I think I’m going to need that someone to help me with the tiny little addon.
Cheers!
