How can I complete the from part with a clickable link to the profile of the latest poster?

34 posts, 2 voices - Latest reply from ...

The user name ist Test User – it does contain a space.

The code developed so far (resembling the buddyPress Forum experience):

...

<span id="topic_posts"><?php topic_posts_link(); ?>, </span>

<span id="topic_voices"><?php printf( '%s voices', bb_get_topic_voices() ); ?></span>

<span><?php if ( 1 < get_topic_posts() ) : ?>

<?php printf(__('- <a href="%1$s">Latest reply</a> from '),attribute_escape( get_topic_last_post_link()) ) ?>

<a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>profile.php?id=<?php echo (sanitize_user(get_topic_last_poster(),true)); ?>"><?php echo get_topic_last_poster(); ?></a>



<?php endif; ?>

</span>

does only generate an “User not found.” error with:

..../profile.php?id=Test%20User

get_user_profile_link( $topic->topic_poster ), rather than all that sanitize/echo stuff. Can’t check it 100% since my test server is dead, but that should be right I think.

Appreciating your help – but I’m looking for linking to the profile of the last poster – not the last topic->poster

I already spent some hours on searching the forum & the web, but there seems no feasible solution for the %20 issue.

Oh, that’s get_user_profile_link( $topic->topic_last_poster ) then it seems that usernames don’t contain spaces (only the display name does), the username is converted to using a – instead of any invalid characters

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Solution found – bb_user_nicename_sanitize()– needs peer review because of possible side-effects (UTF8 etc.)

<span><?php if ( 1 < get_topic_posts() ) : ?>

<?php printf(__('- <a href="%1$s">Latest reply</a> from '),attribute_escape( get_topic_last_post_link()) ) ?>

<a href="<?php bb_option('uri'); ?>profile.php?id=<?php echo (bb_user_nicename_sanitize(get_topic_last_poster(),50)); ?>"><?php echo get_topic_last_poster(); ?></a>



<?php endif; ?>

</span>

PS: A look into one’s database via phpadmin produces the right insights …

I find looking at a bbPress install database pretty unnerving with all the relational IDs around the place

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

But it’s a nice place to look for nice_name’s … )

Thanks for posting the solution also, I was looking at my codes if I could get a solution, but I couldn’t, when I looked back at this topic, I saw the solution already posted.

I’ve been using this code for a while now, untill I discovered in my Google webmaster tools account that it’s giving some broken URL’s. Appearantly this code only works when you have pretty URL’s turned on — which is not in my case.

Is there a way to link it to profile id’s instead of profile names? (e.g. domain/profile.php?id=2 instead of domain/username)

Thanks in advance.

@chandersbs.

See if this other code works for you.

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

I tried it with the three permalink types without problem.

@matveb thanks that worked.
