XF 1.1 how to create custom field for member-page-URL ?

[erich37]

how to make a custom-profile-field for each user, which automatically shows the Member-page-URL for each user ?

I mean for example:

my Member-Website-URL is:
http://xenforo.com/community/members/erich37.764/

So I would like to create a profile-field for each member, which should automagically display the URL for each Member-page.
Saying: each member has his very unique website with that specific URL and this URL should show-up in the Member-Profile.

Many thanks!

Profile fields don't have access to the user information so you can't build a profile link in the value or display HTML.

Where do you want to display that link? A template edit would probably suffice.

well, I was just thinking of putting the member-page-URL into the "Information-Tab" of the respective user....
So showing the user that he has his very own "website" URL for his profile.

If you are viewing the information tab inside of some one's profile then you are already in their profile.

You can edit the Information tab by editing this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> member_view

For example, add the red code to add a profile link at the top:

			<li id="info" class="profileContent">

				<a href="{xen:link members, $user}">Your own website</a>

				<xen:if is="{$user.signature}">
					<div class="section">
						<h3 class="textHeading">{xen:phrase signature}</h3>
						<div class="primaryContent">
							<div class="baseHtml signature ugc">{xen:raw $user.signatureHtml}</div>
						</div>
					</div>
				</xen:if>

				<xen:if hascontent="true">
					<div class="section">
						<h3 class="textHeading">{xen:phrase about}</h3>

						<div class="secondaryContent">
							<xen:contentcheck>
								<xen:if hascontent="true">
									<div class="pairsColumns aboutPairs">
									<xen:contentcheck>
										<xen:if is="{$user.gender}">
											<dl><dt>{xen:phrase gender}:</dt> <dd><xen:if is="{$user.gender} == 'male'">{xen:phrase male}<xen:else />{xen:phrase female}</xen:if></dd></dl>
										</xen:if>

										<xen:if is="{$birthday}">
											<dl><dt>{xen:phrase birthday}:</dt> <dd>{xen:date $birthday.timeStamp, $birthday.format} <xen:if is="{$birthday.age}">({xen:phrase age}: {xen:number $birthday.age})</xen:if></dd></dl>
										</xen:if>

										<xen:if is="{$user.homepage}">
											<dl><dt>{xen:phrase home_page}:</dt> <dd><a href="{xen:string censor, $user.homepage, 'x'}" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{xen:string censor, $user.homepage}</a></dd></dl>
										</xen:if>

										<xen:if is="{$user.location}">
											<dl><dt>{xen:phrase location}:</dt> <dd>{xen:string censor, $user.location}</dd></dl>
										</xen:if>

										<xen:if is="{$user.occupation}">
											<dl><dt>{xen:phrase occupation}:</dt> <dd>{xen:string censor, $user.occupation}</dd></dl>
										</xen:if>
										
										<xen:if is="{$customFieldsGrouped.personal}">
											<xen:foreach loop="$customFieldsGrouped.personal" value="$field">
												<xen:include template="custom_field_view" />
											</xen:foreach>
										</xen:if>
									</xen:contentcheck>
									</div>
								</xen:if>

								<xen:if is="{$user.about}"><div class="baseHtml ugc">{xen:raw $user.aboutHtml}</div></xen:if>

									<li><a href="{xen:link search/member, '', 'user_id={$user.user_id}', 'content=thread'}">{xen:phrase find_all_threads_by_x, 'name={$user.username}'}</a></li>
									</xen:hook>

				</div>
			</li>

yeah, you and I know this, but the average user might not recognize

Thanks a lot!

Another nice place for this would be the Share this Page section in the bottom left. The URL could be listed/shown there. Maybe an auto copy (Ctrl+C) button.

(just brainstorming)

great idea!

I think it would be great to show the user: hey, you`ve got your own page here at our forum.
