Change "View this member's..." text in Profile

[My Name is Billy Moonstone]

Hi

When you go to someone's profile, two of the options are:

• View this member's recent posts.
• View this member's recent threads.

Does anyone know how I can change the text? I don't want to do anything with the function, just describe it a little differently and get rid of the full-stops

Thanks

<div class="content-box center-col">
$[recent_posts_link]<br />
$[recent_threads_created_link]
</div>

Replace with, editing the red to whatever you want


<div class="content-box center-col">
<a href="$[recent_posts_link.href]">Your New Recent Posts Text Here</a><br />
<a href="$[recent_threads_created_link.href]">Your New Threads Created Text Here</a>
</div>



Edit:
You could even do this, if you want..
For the red Text

View $[user.name] recent posts
View $[user.name] recent threads

And it would display like so

view Stinky666 recent posts
view Stinky666 recent threads

Brilliant, thanks! I like the "you could even do this" bit too. Thanks very much

No probs. Thanks to Mabel Pines for teaching me how to do the thing with .href =D

Hi Stinky666 I used this:

<div class="content-box center-col">

<a href="$[recent_posts_link.ahref]">View recent posts by $[user.name]</a><br />

<a href="$[recent_threads_created_link.ahref]">View recent topics started by $[user.name]</a>

</div>

But when you click the links in profile all it does is just refresh (take you to) the same Profile page - it isn't showing the posts/threads

Any ideas?

Is the $[user.name] messing it up maybe?

Hmm for some reason the whole thing is the problem, not just the username bit.
I have no idea then

No worries. I'll try experiment with it and report back

I just don't get it. It works fine for stuff I have used in my Info Center, for example:


<a href="$[recent_threads_link.href]"><font color="#ffffff"><u><b>threads</b></u></font></a>

And it's the same thing.
Hopefully someone else can shed some light on why it isn't working.

I'm no coder, I just play with stuff and "preview" the changes, see if it breaks or not, if I like it (if it hasn't already broken lol) etc.

Sussed it! 

You had an extra "a" immediately preceding the second href in each line. For example:

<a href="$[recent_posts_link.ahref]">Your New Recent Posts Text Here</a><br />

If we take that out, we get:

<div class="content-box center-col">

<a href="$[recent_posts_link.href]">Your New Recent Posts Text Here</a><br />

<a href="$[recent_threads_created_link.href]">Your New Threads Created Text Here</a>

</div>

Which works fine!

I'll try inserting the second bit now - the bit so it brings up the user name

Thanks again, it was seeing your second info centre code that made me realise

Thanks again Stinky666 It works a treat with your extra 'username' bit in the middle too   I used:

<div class="content-box center-col">

<a href="$[recent_posts_link.href]">View recent posts by $[user.name]</a><br />

<a href="$[recent_threads_created_link.href]">View recent topics started by $[user.name]</a>

</div>

Which displays:

View recent posts by My Name Is Billy Moonstone
View recent topics started by My Name Is Billy Moonstone

I'm blaming the fact i haven't been up for all that long...
Can't believe I put an extra 'a' though, doh. Does it worth with the name too? I think it should do.


Edit:
Excellent that it works
