mycred_send
Description
This shortcode allows the user viewing the shortcode to send a pre-set amount of points under a specific reference to a pre-selected user. Basically this is a very very basic transfer shortcode where the amount, recipient and log template is already set.
The shortcode can be used multiple times as long as each shortcode has it’s own reference or differ in amounts.
The shortcode will render blank in the following circumstances:
- The user viewing it is not logged in
- The user viewing it is excluded from the point type
- The recipient set for the shortcode is excluded from the point type
- The user viewing the shortcode is the recipient
- The recipient set for the shortcode no longer exists / can not be found
- The user viewing it does not have enough points to use the shortcode
Available since version 1.2
