sorry lost the text through the forum interpreting it – try again

a href=”edit” >Amend Profile/Change password
Just wrap this in the usual <a and /a's

I have also added it in a page by creating a shortcode
In functions.php in my child theme I added

//edit profile
function profileedit() {
return ‘Amend Profile/Change password‘ ;
}
add_shortcode(‘profileedit’, ‘profileedit’);

Then in any page type [profileedit] and up comes the href with the current user correctly filed in.

Not sure which bit of your site you plan to put this in, but the following php code will put up some text which they can click

<a href="edit” >Amend Profile/Change password

without the “edit”, it’ll take them to their profile page.

Lynq,

Thnaks for your unput. I played with several ideas, but in the end just added a libe to bbpress’s widgets.php on line 140 as follows :

<a href="edit” >Amend Profile/Change password

That did the trick.

Can you point me to the newer example, and i’ll code that for snitz so that it looks consistent and has help prompts in it, then I’ll ticket it to you.

[@robin-w Moderator 12 years, 2 months ago]

PS the example.php that downloads with the bbpress plugin doesn’t have a bit to bring the message accross, so initially I had a great forum with no topic content!

I nicked the following from another converter and it seemed to work

// Topic content.
// Note: We join the posts table because topics do not have content.
$this->field_map[] = array(
‘from_tablename’ => ‘FORUM_TOPICS’,
‘from_fieldname’ => ‘T_MESSAGE’,
‘join_tablename’ => ‘thread’,
‘join_type’ => ‘INNER’,
‘join_expression’ => ‘USING (threadid) WHERE post.parentid = 0′,
‘to_type’ => ‘topic’,
‘to_fieldname’ => ‘post_content’,
‘callback_method’ => ‘callback_html’

Stephen,

Thanks, that got me going in the right direction and I have achieved it.

I’ll try and post the full method for future users – I found your custom stuff useful https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/custom-import/

Working out the mapping and date formats took a bit of effort, but once there the rest is easy !

Thanks again

and it trashed my code, try again without the ‘s

a href=”” class=”submit user-submit”><?php echo get_avatar( bbp_get_current_user_id(), '40' ); ?
