I've just noticed that the post prior to mine is months old anyway, I guess he figured it out in the end! _ck_ on "using bb_get_profile_link" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bb_get_profile_link#post-19356 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 14:21:25 +0000 _ck_ 19356@http://bbpress.org/forums/ no, <code>bb_get_profile_link</code> does not self echo but it does return a full formed url apparently, so I was half wrong to use it inside of a href. The direct link is via <code>get_user_profile_link( $id )</code> byles, your code is wrong in that it doesn't need an echo <code><?php bb_profile_link('link text here'); ?></code> byles on "using bb_get_profile_link" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bb_get_profile_link#post-19355 Sun, 21 Sep 2008 11:28:22 +0000 byles 19355@http://bbpress.org/forums/ bb_get_profile_link does self echo, so you could try: <code><a href="<?php echo user_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info('id')); ?>/"></code> ...or if you don't want to use it amongst another href, just use: <code><?php echo bb_profile_link('link text here'); ?></code> parthatel on "using bb_get_profile_link" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bb_get_profile_link#post-17397 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:31:10 +0000 parthatel 17397@http://bbpress.org/forums/ This is the warning that appears on the top of the page. <code>Warning: parse_url(/%3Ca%20href=%27http://mydomain.com/links/profile.php?id=2%27%3EView%20your%20profile%3C/a%3E) [<a href='function.parse-url'>function.parse-url</a>]: Unable to parse URL in /home/domain/public_html/links/bb-includes/functions.php on line 1794</code> This is what the My Profile link links to: <code><a href="http://mydomain.com/%3Ca%20href='http://mydomain.com/links/profile.php?id=2'>View%20your%20profile</a>" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/%3Ca%20href='http://mydomain.com/links/profile.php?id=2'>View%20your%20profile</a></a></code> chrishajer on "using bb_get_profile_link" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bb_get_profile_link#post-17383 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:15:57 +0000 chrishajer 17383@http://bbpress.org/forums/ parthatel: can you post your actual HTML from the rendered page in backticks so it doesn't get rendered as HTML? Like you did in the first post.

So you have to add echo. You almost have it, for example, this should work: <code><a href="<?php echo bb_get_profile_link(); ?>">My Profile</a></code> And just to confuse you, there are a couple of legacy functions with the word "get" in them that do echo. But they shouldn't and are rare so don't worry too much, lol. parthatel on "using bb_get_profile_link" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/using-bb_get_profile_link#post-17360 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:00:30 +0000 parthatel 17360@http://bbpress.org/forums/ How do I make a link that directs the user to their profile? The default code in bbPress is <code><?php printf(__('Welcome, %1$s!'), bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' )));?</code>. Yet if I use this, the name of the user will be the linked text. Also, I'm not able to use this code alone. If I try: <pre><code><?php bb_get_profile_link(bb_get_current_user_info( 'name' )); ?></code></pre> ...it doesn't work. I also tried: <code><a href="<?php bb_get_profile_link(); ?>">My Profile</a></code> How can I change the text to My Profile and also let it stand alone? (standalone meaning on its own paragraph and with no Welcome, %1$s!)
