Question about profiles and miniprofiles

[Former Member]

Hey,


I don't no where to put this, I hope it's okay to ask it here.


Is there a way to make your profile and miniprofile picture a clickable button that can link to a separate webpage?  If not currently, could this be something in the future?

@aksd, while this could most likely be done with code modification to the templates, this would affect all the users' avatars the same with the same link. It's possible a plugin could be made that would allow this for individual avatars.

You do realize in the member's profile, Personal tab, there is the option for adding a website URL that is clickable.

Ahhh, okay, that makes sense.  How do I request a plugin?



Yes, I do realize that, however, I still wish it for the profile and mini profile picture.  


Thank you so much!

Hi,

One of our developers noticed this thread and wanted me to point out that it should be possible using a custom profile field or a website field and a template mod. You'd want to make sure not to hardcode the URL to avoid the problem with affecting all of the avatars like Scott mentioned above.

Edit your Mini-Profile template and replace:

{if $[user.avatar]}

<div class="avatar">$[user.avatar]</div><br />

{/if}
with:

{if $[user.avatar]}

       <div class="avatar">

           {if $[user.website.href]}

            <a href="$[user.website.href]" target="_blank">

        {/if}

            $[user.avatar]

           {if $[user.website.href]}

               </a>

           {/if}

       </div>

       <br />

   {/if}

Then use the Website URL field in the Personal section of your profile to add the URL.
