this creates a button .. and button will open a popup .. so your members will not navigate away from that page ..

the last part of the href .. " ?to=1 " .. replace 1 with your member/author ID variable ..

 

<a class="ipsButton ipsButton_important ipsButton_Small" data-ipsdialog="" data-ipsdialog-size="medium" data-ipsdialog-title="PM Author" title="PM to the Author" href="https://yoursite.com/messenger/compose/?to=1">PM Author</a>

Nothing is better then to dive in the templates/css/php/.. itself to see the code working, give it a tweak and see the results ..

Documentation here on IPS site is still minimal .. and mostly without good examples ..
