Hyperlink "Last Poster" from Latest Discussions to THEIR Profile Page

   Hey fellow bbPress enthusiasts,

   I have just spent forever playing with PHP trying to get the name generated by "Last Poster" in Latest Discussions on Forum or Front-Page to link to THAT user's bbPress profile.

   My apologies if I am missing an easy "<a href=" command to surround the php in:

   <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

   Nothing seems to work.

   Many thanks as my brain has been fried working on this.

   Maybe this will work:
   <a href='<?php bb_uri(); ?>/profile/<?php topic_last_poster(); ?>"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></a>

   Not 100% sure it would work since <?php topic_last_poster(); ?> grabs the display name, not the user name I think. Well there's a start.

   Hmm, this doesn't seem to work. Anyone else have any ideas?

   function gs_get_topic_last_poster_profile_link() {
   	global $topic;
   	if ($topic)
   		return sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster), get_topic_last_poster($topic->topic_id));
   	return false;
   }

   Thanks for your help, Detective. How would I implement your code with:

   <td class="num"><?php topic_last_poster(); ?></td>

   Which is in Forum.php and Front-Page.php

   <td class="num">
   <?php
   function gs_get_topic_last_poster_profile_link() {
   	global $topic;
   	if ($topic)
   		return sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_last_poster), get_topic_last_poster($topic->topic_id));
   	return false;
   }
   ?>
   </td>

   I posted this elsewhere but this works for me on the frontpage:

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