Link username / name to CB Profile

[lohck]

Hi,

anyone suceeded in linking usernames or names to CB profile?

Currently the link is only from the Avatar, and when a user does not have an avatar, there is no way to link to their profiles.

I read all relevant posts here and seems like there isn't a workaround for this, anyone?

You can make small modification in comments template and show this link. Do something like:

Open file /com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php and change line:

Code: (php)

<?php
if ($this->getVar('comment-show-homepage') == 1) {
?>
<a class="author-homepage" href="<?php echo $comment->homepage; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="<?php echo $comment->author; ?>"><?php echo $comment->author; ?></a>
<?php
} else {
?>
<span class="comment-author"><?php echo $comment->author?></span>
<?php
}
?>

with

Code: (php)

<?php
if ($comment->profileLink != '') {
?>
<a class="author-homepage" href="<?php echo $comment->profileLink; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="<?php echo $comment->author; ?>"><?php echo $comment->author; ?></a>
<?php
} else {
?>
<span class="comment-author"><?php echo $comment->author?></span>
<?php
}
?>

And don't forget to install & publish Avatar plugin

Could it be that this workaround isnt working anymore on Jcomments 2.2.0.2?

I'm getting the following error all the time when implementing this code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in .../com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php on line 210

For JComments 2.2.0.2 you could use next modification:

Open file /com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php and change line:

Code: (php)

<?php
                                }
if ($this->getVar('comment-show-homepage') == 1) {
?>
<a class="author-homepage" href="<?php echo $comment->homepage; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="<?php echo $comment->author; ?>"><?php echo $comment->author; ?></a>
<?php
} else {
?>
<span class="comment-author"><?php echo $comment->author?></span>
<?php
}
?>

with

Code: (php)

<?php
}
if ($comment->profileLink != '') {
?>
<a class="author-homepage" href="<?php echo $comment->profileLink; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="<?php echo $comment->author; ?>"><?php echo $comment->author; ?></a>
<?php
} else {
?>
<span class="comment-author"><?php echo $comment->author?></span>
<?php
}
?>

I get this error when I put in your code smart.

Code:

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

May be you've forgot to install, publish and setup JComments Avatar plugin?

[Radek2212]

Thank you for this great modification - it should be included as default !

all things works fine, yet I have one small problem: the | character (it is used as replacement to the big i letter)

It seems that when i have it in user name (like Son|c), the link to profile cannot be created.

Is this can be fixed somehow ? I don't want to change Admin username :-(

Avatar source = phpbb3 JFusion bridge

with:

<a href="index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=<?php echo $comment->userid; ?>" rel="nofollow" title="<?php echo $comment->author; ?>"><span class="comment-author"><?php echo $comment->author; ?></span></a>
