Another Question :P

[My Display Name]

Hello,

I have another question, the plugin I am currently working on my require the user to add a link to the users profile so they would have to do something like this:

<li><a href="FORUMURL.freemessageboards.com/user/USERID">Profile</a></i>

Except I have no idea how to capture the users url, I know back in v4 I could just link it to index.cgi?action=viewprofile so I was hoping /user/ would just direct them to their profile but apparently not . Or I could just view the source and get the variable pb_username. But can't find that either .

Help?

I think the variable you're looking for is either $[current_user.name] for display name, $[current_user.username] for their username, or $[current_user.id] for their user number (yours being support.proboards.com/user/180580 for example). =]

edit; re-read, fairly certain you're looking for the last one. =P

Tried that, the user would then have to enter

<li><a href="http://forum.freemessageboards.com/user/$[current_user.id]>Profile</a></li>

which does not work

You will need to use...

proboards.data("user").id

Thank you!

So would I need to put that in my javascript? or in the <a href> ? 

[Peter]

That will need to be put in the JavaScript.

Or if you want, you could do...

<script>document.write(proboards.data("user").id);</script>

...where you want the ID to be.

Depends on the plugin, and how much of it is being built with JavaScript.

Alright so then it would be like this?

<li><a href="FORUMURL.freemessageboards.com/user/<script>document.write(proboards.data("user").id);</script>">Profile</a></li>

Or could I just do <script>document.write(<li><a href="/user/proboards.data("user").id);">Profile</a></li></script>

Also, I apologize for all the questions it's been about 3 years since I actually touched any of this, all greek to me now ;p

------------------------------

Actually I have a different idea, Can I do something like this:

<script>
var id= proboards.data("user").id);
</script>

put that in the plugins Javascript

then the user would enter:

<script>document.write('<li><a href="/user/'+id+'>Profile</a></li>'); </script>

Would that work as well? I would try it but not at home and figured you would reply before I got home

first of all, you don't need <script> tags in the plugins javascript, as it just adds it into a .js file

use:

var id=proboards.data("user").id;

and yes the 2nd part will work just fine.

Ah right, I always forget about that , thanks I will try it in a little bit.

®i©hie , it displayed the ID and I was able to click it and it took me to my profile so it worked, however it made my entire page white and that was the only thing displaying. Have another method?

URL?

I feel like having /user automatically going to the users profile would not be a problem. Ill have a chat with a couple of the devs tomorrow.

for your plugin, under the "components" tab, what components are you using, and what do you have entered in each?
