Hi,

I’d like to change the author link of every reply (actually it goes to user profile) :
– if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url
– else use the comment website url

So i have 2 questions :
– what’s the best way to change the author link ? editing users/template.php, using add_filter(‘bbp_get_author_link’) or something else ?
– how can i retrieve the comment url from anonymous poster ?

Thank you for your help

Keep up the good work, i like bbpress !

Can I just clarify what you are after

I presume you are allowing anonymous posting?

– if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url
– else use the comment website url

so for the first – as it is now?
and for the second, can you give an example of what you want it to link to (and what it does now to save me having to alter my site to find out!)

Hi Robin,

I presume you are allowing anonymous posting?

Yes !
I would like to change these two links (name & avatar in red) :

so for the first – as it is now?

No because currently, every author name & avatar links go to the user profile. I would like that these links go to the website user url.

and for the second, can you give an example of what you want it to link to (and what it does now to save me having to alter my site to find out!)

Currently, there’s no link on anonymous’s name & avatar. And i’d like to use the anonymous website url (if exists) as a link on his name & avatar.

I hope it’s clear 🙂

ok, can you explain or give an example of what you mean by the website user url?

[whimsicality]

Yes of course.

Website user url is the field in the user profile in WordPress.

[Robkk]

if the author is not anonymous, use the user_url

it would be better to keep how it is leading to the userprofile just in case someone didnt input their website url in their profile.

else use the comment website url

this sounds like you want to use the website field in the anonymous user form when they post.

so basically you want it to act sort of like how wordpress comments handles the comment author link on this one.

am i right??

Hi,

Users can already edit their profile through the login widget.

Yes, that’s it !
