Profile Link to vb

[jimsflies]

I want the profile links in pp to link to the vb profiles. How/where do change it to link over to the vb profiles?

[Chuck S]

You really can not do this without modifying all the profile links to do this through code modification. There is no native ability to do this in the program.

is there a variable that refers to the username or the userid for a particular ad (as they are shared with vb, we can construct the link manually)?
tia.

Not really how you are thinking. Many files have a call to a profile link so the variables for user may be different.

You would need to edit most files and search for member.php

The only difference I see is the directory path. if I replace /classifieds/member.php with /forum/member.php in the browser it takes me to the vb profile page. I'm not sure how to specify this in the code though. I've manually removed the profile link from everywhere except showproduct.php. So I think I only have one or two places to make the change.

I'm guessing it is in ib3.php?

Content visible to verified customers only.

Seems like globals[vbulletin] would take me to the forum, but instead it seems to point to the classifieds directory.

Not really

The profile links are throughout the files and look similar to this

Content visible to verified customers only.

The profile links your referring to is the forum profile link on a comment.

So I tried to put this in replace the above code you mentioned with:

Content visible to verified customers only.

But it ends up giving me a link that looks like this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Any tip on how to get it to not have the extra url in front of the link?

[Chuck S]

You cant you need to remove the whole construct url thing and use a hard coded url to your forum.

[jimsflies]

never mind. I got it! Thanks.

[Chuck S]

Yep as long as you use the proper variables and make hard links to your forum it should work but there are lots of profile links. we use a function but thats how we construct the regular or seo urls etc

understood.

but is userid or username defined as a global variable within the classifieds app (that can be accessed from a template)?

[Chuck S]

The users username and userid viewing the page sure just like in vb however if your looking to change profile links for links on ads on catlists etc each script has specific variables defined in that script for those links as noted in the example line I gave.

i am just looking to provide one link (on the profile page, maybe) that links to the forum profile, not redo every link.

[Chuck S]

On the classifieds profile statistics page we provide a link to the users forum profile

[chrisstinson]

This code will return the vbulletin profile.

Replace:

Content visible to verified customers only.

With:

Content visible to verified customers only.

[Chuck S]

yeah it should
