[Plugin: Alkivia Open Community] link profile of the user with nick instead of login

[raibom]

the plugin links the current user profile with his login ($user->user_login). is to associate the profile with the nickname of the user ($user['display_name'])?. because if the sign is different from “DISPLAY_NAME” will not be the profile link with the author’s name for ex: sry for bad english.
Nick: raibom
Display_Name:[VHP]r4ibOm
Comment template:(<a href="<?php echo aoc_profile_link()?><?php the_author() ?>" title="<?php _e('Author', 'kubrick'); ?>"><?php the_author() ?></a>).
Link Result(broken):/profiles/user/[VHP]r4ibOm
Link correct:/profiles/user/raibom

solution??

It does not associate the display name with profile because in WordPress the display name could not be unique. Because of that, we require to associate the user login, and this is what the profile page expects to receive.

The plugin already replaces the links for comments author to the profile page if you activate it on the profile settings, so no need to change the comments template.

yes it is true .. I just put the function get_comment_author_link () and worked perfectly. a hint: think in future could put a function in the plugin so that the user could create a group of members, as a clan/team, never seen any similar plugin … thx for the great plugin

Groups are planed, but will be introduced on a later release as we have other features in the roadmap for next versions before reaching 1.0.

how do I show the login of the author’s comments without using the function get_comment_author_link ()?. is because I’m having difficulties to link the profile of users in a plugin (wp comment remix). I am in the following string:

%an = $row->comment_author but am not able to use some function to link the profiles Pros login. can you help me?

[raibom]

profiles/user/%an
%an = $row->comment_author

I’m sorry but I cannot help with this as I don’t know how WP Comment Remix works and what changes on comments.

The Community plugin requires WP 2.8 or over because it uses functions and classes that are only available since this version. One of the things changed are about comments.

Comments remix has been only tested with WP 2.5, so I think it can have issues with WP 2.8 because the comment system has changed in WordPress since 2.5.
