I should ask: If possible, how can I display that information in the public profile (forum/users/username)?
I’ll be looking into this myself shortly will post the answer once i work it out… If you suss it out before hand could you please post your findings, Thanks
I can, but so far I have no idea. I found blogs talking about a plugin called bbsocialize, but it appears that the plugin ceases to exist.
This seems like a fairly easy plugin to make and I look forward to seeing it become reality.
I don’t really understand PHP all that much at the moment, though I am learning. From what I do know, I was able to figure out how to display the user’s URL by making a /bbpress folder in my theme’s root and copying over the user-profile.php file. And then I added this underneath the user description section:
[sourcecode language=”php”]
<a href="”>
[/shortcode]
Though, I’m sure there must be a shorter way of turning text into a link?
Anyways, I wasn’t able to find any function for the other fields under ‘Contact Info,’ which makes me wonder if those are coming up under some other plugin.
Edit: I have no idea how to display code. Sorry. And it won’t let me edit my post.
[solution removed because I have no clue on how to provide code examples]
🙂 …our progress has been thwarted by our inability to communicate.
Let’s try this again…
Open up the following PHP document in the bbPress plugin, found at –
bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/user-profile.php
Using the AIM field as an example, add the following –
`
`
Now you probably shouldn’t alter these files, as the next time bbPress is updated, the update will overwrite this. You’ll need to make a copy of the file under your theme directory. So it should look like this –
yourTheme/bbpress/user-profile.php
That’s exactly what I did but I couldn’t figure out how to display more than the user’s url. Your code doesn’t show up still so I don’t know how you got the AIM field to show.
