I am sure Ardentfrost might have something in his memberlist or private message plugins that does this. As well, you can check out /bb-includes/template-functions.php for a list of functions that can be called. It has to be in there somewhere!</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5545 Thu, 15 Mar 2007 04:04:24 +0000 greenshady 5545@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I know exactly what I need, but I don't know how to get it. I need the "topic author id." That's it. Seems pretty simple, but I have no idea how to get it. Surely, there's a way.</p> <p>I found this code on another part of the forum, except I just added <code>&lt;?php post_author(); ?&gt;</code> to get the to post author's name. It's a really good solution for getting the replies to the topic.</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php bb_option(&#39;uri&#39;); ?&gt;profile.php?id=&lt;?php echo (get_post_author_id()); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php post_author(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>What I need to get instead of <code>(get_post_author_id())</code> is the topic author's id, then I'll be set. I've tried every variation I can think of, but came up with nothing. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5537 Wed, 14 Mar 2007 23:16:55 +0000 greenshady 5537@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sorry, about not responding in a few days. It's been a busy week.</p> <p>I've read through Null's post, but came up with nothing. I think he made his own plugin to work with it. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5411 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 04:58:25 +0000 Trent 5411@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Try following this post:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/398?replies=13" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/398?replies=13</a></p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5410 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 04:53:43 +0000 Trent 5410@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I can't seem to find it right at the moment, but Null had a post about this.....let me keep looking.</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5409 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 04:45:34 +0000 greenshady 5409@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>That didn't work either. It doesn't get the "ID number" or the "username". </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5393 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 01:33:29 +0000 Trent 5393@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Will this work?</p> <p><code>&lt;?php echo &quot;&lt;a href=\&quot;&quot;.get_user_profile_link($member-&gt;ID).&quot;\&quot;&gt;&quot;.$member-&gt;user_login.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;; ?&gt;</code></p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5390 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 00:31:49 +0000 greenshady 5390@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Doing that for the permalink didn't work for me. I've tried it several times.</p> <p>There are a couple of things I want to do with the "author" as opposed to the "last poster":</p> <p>1) On <code>front-page.php</code> I want to put the topic author's name under the link to each of the latest discussions.<br /> Ex:<br /> <strong>Link to topic</strong><br /> By <strong>link to topic author</strong></p> <p>2) On the topic pages, I want to put the name of the post, then link to the post author.<br /> Ex:<br /> <strong>Topic Title</strong><br /> By <strong>link to topic author</strong> on Date/Time<br /> Rest of post......</p> <p>This type of setup is already on my <a href="http://booksinbed.com/forum"> forum</a>. I've already got the author's name already set up on the forum. I just need to get the author's profile link. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5389 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 23:12:37 +0000 Trent 5389@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>For the permalinks, put the following in your .htaccess file in your root and then turn mod_rewrite on in your config.php:</p> <p><code>Options +MultiViews</code></p> <p>What exactly do you want for the last poster versus the author? Explain to me like I am 5 years old because sometimes I act like it ;)</p> <p>Trent </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-page-and-permalinks#post-5388 Sun, 11 Mar 2007 22:59:34 +0000 greenshady 5388@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I finally got everything set up at <a href="http://booksinbed.com"> Books In Bed</a>. The <a href="http://booksinbed.com/forum"> Forum</a> is working well too. Tell me what you think of it so far.</p> <p>The problems I have had are linking to a topic author's profile page. I can get the "last poster's" profile page link though.</p> <p>What I think I need to do is get the author's "user id" to do this, but for some reason I can't get it.</p> <p>Also, I've tried everything on this site to get pretty permalinks working (I use GoDaddy). They've always worked fine on my Wordpress blog, but not on bbpress. The only thing I haven't done is <code>/bb-admin/rewrite_rules.php</code> because I keep getting an error when I go to that page. </p>
