Problem while using with messages about elgg_tokeninput

[propertunist]

i am also seeing this in elgg 2.1.2

[propertunist]

so i have debugged this issue and there are 3 changes that i think are necessary to get this to work with messages. am i right in thinking this wasn't tested with messages?

views/default/input/userpicker.php
needs the line:

$vars['is_elgg_autocomplete'] = true;

then the issue is that the messages 'send' action expects an input called 'recipients', whereas this plugin returns one called 'members'. additionally, the messages action expects a guid and this plugin is providing a user name.
after changing the action to accommodate the format of the data provided by this plugin, i got the messages plugin to send a message correctly.
i also noticed that the userpicker does not exclude my own user in it's list.

Hm, this was working at some point. There must have been changes to messages and/or autocomplete. I will check
