   Hi,

   With this I get the topic author name: get_topic_author(), but how do I get his profile link? get_topic_author_link() doesn't work...

   Any ideas?

   thx

   This doesn't work cause $userid isn't defined (i want to put this in front-page.php)

   Got this:
   <?php printf(__('%1$s - <a href="%2$s">%3$s</a>'), get_topic_time(), get_user_profile_link($userid), get_topic_author()) ?>

   All is in a for each loop, i get the author but no link to his profile :(

   This works on front-page.php:

   <a href="<?php user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster) ?>"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>

   Close but still not there. I had to add get_ infront of it in order to work. Now this works AS LONG AS you have no replies on your topic. I wanted to get the authors profile link and not all authors of every reply....

   I am making a list of posts on the front page that looks like this:
   Topic title - author - postst - last reply by

   To get the authors name i use: get_topic_author() this works and if i use:
   <?php printf(__('<a href="%2$s">%3$s</a>'), get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster), get_topic_author()) ?> it works and I get the authors profile link. But as soon as I get a reply, it will show the profile link of the last poster and not the author (while the author name stays correct).

   Things like: get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_author), get_topic_author() doesn't work.

   So the author is the topic starter, not the last topic poster

    Sure, I needed this for my bbPortal plugin (www.bbportal.org). The code for this is for the profilelink: get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_poster), for the poster name: get_topic_author().

    To be honest, I am not sure if this will work OUTSIDE the bbPortal plugin. If not, just check the plugin and perhaps you can strip it...

    Let em know

    Yeah hmm was afraid of that. It's part of a function I've made with a foreach etc etc

    There are 3 options:
    1) Request this as a new function/option in the next release of bbPress
    2) Make a new function :)
    3) I/ someone else makes the function when I/he/she has the time

    I will take a look at it tonight

    <a href="<?php user_profile_link(get_post_author_id()) ?>"><?php post_author(); ?></a>

    the above gets the use profile for any page.

    I still dont know if you people managed to fix this but here is what worked for me after alot of trial and error:

    From the first-page:

    This code will generate a link to the original author's profile and that one's username.

    <a href="<?php user_profile_link(($topic->topic_poster)) ?>"><?php topic_author(); ?></a>

    And this code will make a link to the last user who posted and that one's username.

    <a href="<?php user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster) ?>" class="latest-disc-last-poster"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>

    Hope it helps!
