username link points to buddypress user profile – is it possible?

Hi jss, actually that is a good idea but not a current feature at this time.

Thanks for the answer. I have a website where are a lot of users so it would be helpful because now people doesn’t know who is who on the chat. Is there a way to make it possible by changing something in the code? If not, do you think some next future update will make it possible? Thanks

Glad to help:

1) “Is there a way to make it possible by changing something in the code?”

Perhaps, almost anything is possible with WordPress. Although I can’t recommend making any changes to any plugins, themes, or WP core. If you want to customize, the best way is to fork the plugin and build your own version. Otherwise changes will get overwritten on future plugin updates, etc.

2) “If not, do you think some next future update will make it possible?”

It’s not something that is planned at this point.

Find this.
$sac_out .= '<span class="sac-chat-name" title="'. sprintf(esc_attr__('Posted %s ago', 'simple-ajax-chat'), sac_time_since($chat_time)) .'">'. $url .' : </span> ';

Change to this and change the link.
$sac_out .= '<span class="sac-chat-name" title="'. sprintf(esc_attr__('Posted %s ago', 'simple-ajax-chat'), sac_time_since($chat_time)) .'"><a href="https://yoursite.com/profile/'. $url .'">'. $url .'</a> : </span> ';

The problem with this chat plugin is when chat is updated live it allways prints plain text. So it wont work when people are chatting live. But will work on NOT LIVE updated message the messages which already are there. Or people refresh the page.

If you want it to work allways even in live updated messages i would sugest Schreikasten plugin which i use. https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/schreikasten/
When new messages comes it actaully updates the whole box so the user links allways works even in LIVE chat.

Anyways i hope i helped you a little.
