Phrase Text - integrate Xen Links

[eriche]

Hello,

I struggle around to integrate in a Phrase links e.g. to Member Profiles and so on.

I am going to fetch userinformation from the DB - and want to Show a link to "Member_xyz" (which has DB ID 6).

I tryed following

<a href="{xen:link 'members',6}">Member_xyz</a>

as well as

<a href="{xen:link 'ROUTE'}">TEXT</a>
<a href="{xen:link account/upgrades}">upgrades</a>

But I always get the message

ERROR: Route {xen:link account/upgrades} could not be found. and so on,...

What do I miss?

Erich

That's not possible as the xen tags/functions are not rendered in phrases, what you have to do is pass the links as phrase parameters.

For XF's template:

{xen:phrase your_phrase_title, 'link={xen:link members, 6}'}

For PHP code:

$something = new XenForo_Phrase('your_phrase_title', array('link' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('members', 6)));

And your phrase content should be something like this:

<a href="{link}">Member_xyz</a>

P.S. There can be typos, so please double check the code.

@Mr. Goodie2Shoes you are Genius!
I think that I am missing some fundamental Basics - but I don`t have the Feeling this is well documented
Where could I read about this?

It is not 100% working

buildPublicLink('members', 6)

doesn`t work like supposed

I get redirected to the Members overview page, but not to a specific Members Profile.
Is maybe the UserID not correct? Should it be the Username? Or both together?

Where can I get all the "XenForo_Link" Options listed or explained

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

yeah... I thought it wouldn't work
You'll have to pass an array as the build data:

XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('members', array('user_id' => 6));

XF template:

{xen:link members, {xen:array 'user_id=6'}}

You can also include the username so that the builder can include it in the URL.

 

[eriche]

yea! now it is working

But again, how do I get this knowledge?
Would Need a list of all XenForo_Link Options (Parameters).

Next step I Need for sure, is linking to a Topic in PHP via XenForo_Link

You can find all the available guides (that I know of) here: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/categories/development-tutorials.36/ and here: https://xenforo.com/community/forums/development-tutorials.80/
Other than that, you'll have to look into XF's code to figure out how each module work
