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

get_user_profile_link( $userid )

[@null Member 18 years ago]

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

Any luck?

This topic is old, fixed it ages ago

[@kineda Member 17 years, 10 months ago]

Can you post how you fixed it?

[@null Member 17 years, 10 months ago]

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

get_user_profile_link($topic->topic_poster) doesn’t work.

[@null Member 17 years, 10 months ago]

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

I might be miss reading this, but I think I stumbled across this.

[@burkie Participant 17 years, 6 months ago]

<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!
