[Plugin: Aleph] Content profile.php

– For the Profession, you can use Cimy User Fields and print the value in the same way as you printed the location.
– For the website, you can use <?php aleph_the_user_url('Website'); ?>. This will print a link like Website that points to the user url.
– For comments, there is no current way to display a link to comments by the user.
– For favorites: you want to display them or link to the page with all of them? In the first case you can use the Favorites Widget included with Aleph or do a query_posts call:

<?php
global $user;
query_posts('favorites_of=' . $user->user_nicename);
while (have_posts()) { the_posts():
....
}

In the second case you can print the link: <a href="<?php aleph_the_user_favorites_url(); ?>">Favorites</a>.

– To link the posts page: <?php aleph_the_user_posts_link('Posts'); ?>

– To display the users’ sets you can use the Sections Widget included in Aleph.

Regarding your other needings:

b1. Upload photo directly (if he is logged in the user should be able to upload his photo directly without going through his dashboard)

As far as i know, this is not possible, as it would require a custom upload form inside the public profile.

b2. Mark as contact (how do I change the text to “Add Contact”?

Put the following in the user/posts loop: <?php aleph_the_taxonomy_link('author-contacts'); ?>

To change the text you need to translate the .po file included with Aleph.

b3. Wall: I’d like to have a personal Comment Box like I have with every single post in my blog.

This is not possible, although it’s a feature i’d like to implement some day in the future.

Hi Detective,
thx a lot. Some things are done others are still open. Please help me with:
a4, a6, b2

a1: done
a2: done
a3: Comments: not possible yet
a4: Favorites: Don’t know exactly how it works
a5: done
a6: Sets (Categories): Don’t know exactly how it works. Can the user sign in for WP categories?

b1: photo upload: Have to find out with WP
b2: Have changed the aleph.po file from “mark as contact” to “Add contact” doesn’t work
b3: Personal wall is impossible yet

Favorites:

Each user can mark a post as favorite, and you can get the favorite posts of every user using template tags like query_posts or going to a “favorite archive”.

Sets:

Sets are user-specific categories. Sets don’t interfere with your site categories, instead they complement them in a user-specific way. For example, you can have a category named “Photos” where every user posted photos. But also every user could have a set named “My Family Photos”, “My Travel Photos”, etc.

Also, you need to create a .mo file after you edited the .po file. Check out: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Translating_WordPress

Hm… Can someone tell me, how customise style of Favorites page? If i put this code <a href="<?php aleph_the_user_favorites_url(); ?>">Favorites</a> in profile, it lead to the page where some elements of style from original archive page are missed. So i think that i must put divs in some template file, but what file and where in code i must do this?

Aleph uses the following templates (if one isn’t found, the next is used):

– favorites.php
– archive.php
– index.php

Probably in your case your theme only has a archive.php. You could copy that file into favorites.php and make all modifications you need.

This is a example template for Aleph.
The function aleph_user_profile() outputs a formatted profile. You need to put it between the adequate markup of your template.

–>
<div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn”>

<?php
add_action(‘aleph_user_profile_fields’, ‘display_user_cimy_field’);

function display_user_cimy_field() {
$address = aleph_get_user_cimy_field(“address”);
if ($address) {
echo ‘<dt>Address</dt>’;
echo ‘<dd>’ . $address . ‘</dd>’;
}
}
aleph_user_profile(
array(
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2 class=”center”>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
‘before_section’ => ‘<div class=”entry”><h3>’,
‘after_section’ => ‘</h3>’,
‘before_avatar’ => ‘<div style=”float: right;”>’,
‘after_avatar’ => ‘</div></div>’
)
);
?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>
