What is the correct syntax to use to include a simple user homepage link on the xengallery_media_view template from the xenforo home page user field?
e.g.
www.usershomepage.com
e.g.
www.usershomepage.com

This guide will help you identify the template and code associated with the member home page: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to.4390/
Whether that is available on the media template is another matter though.
This guide helps with determining whether variables/parameters are available to use in templates: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/using-variables-in-templates.5034/
It's worth bearing in mind the distinction between $user and $visitor; $visitor is always the record for the current logged in user, $user is the record being processed (e.g. message author, member list, list of online users, etc.).

Thank you, but I need another pointer as I am still lost. L
ooking at phpmyadmin, I know I need the
homepage
field, from the
xf_user_profile
table
but I need another baby step to identify what this would be called in the xenforo syntax.
I see I can print the user who posted the photo's linked username by using:
{xen:helper username, $user}<xen:username user="$media" />
on the xengallery_media_view template.
(not sure if the above is the correct or ideal syntax but it seems to work.)
Following the second tutorial, I don't know where to begin in terms of the variablename to test for to match the above table and column using the {xen:helper dump, $variablename} to see if variablename is available.

OK, used {xen:helper dump, $media} to dump the variables available on the xengallery_media_view template
and it seems I can access {$media.homepage} which is the user's homepage who added the media. So I lucked out and it's easy. Thanks!
I'm not up to speed at all on the xenforo syntax obviously, so need to get up to speed rapidly
Thank you for the help and tutorials you've provided!

Just when I think I'm getting smarter... (at tortoise speed maybe...)
Now curious what fields are available in the xengallery_media_block template as I'd like to explore including username below media thumbnail on the forum list media block carousel.
{xen:helper dump, $media} returns NULL
{xen:helper dump, $media_block} returns NULL
{xen:helper dump, $forum_list} returns NULL
Instead of $media, what would I enter for this template to see what fields are available?
