Ok user is logged in ..

422

I want to do three things....

1. echo logged in users profile photo.
2. echo logged in users username and href to their profile.
3. echo messages received ( count ) and href to their messages.

Imagine, this to be on any or all pages.. so just wondering if anyone knows the code to do this.. Thanks

422

Am thinking we need to wrap this in an array.. But im no php guru lol

422

Ok I have username and url link ( i think I have done this correctly.

< div class="myProfileName">< a href="<?php echo Url('/profile/'); ?>"><?php echo $Name; ?>< /a>< /div>

hmm not sure this is correct actually..

422

Ok I think the above is fixed.

< div class="myProfileName">< a href="<?php echo Url('/profile/'.$Name); ?>"><?php echo $Name; ?>< /a>< /div>

422

Ok now we have alert issue. The above code renders perfectly until we receive a notification.
The output html looks like this...

< div class="myProfileName">
< a alert"="" href="/forum-theme/profile/admin < span class=">
1">admin
< span class="Alert">1< /span>
< /a>
< /div>

422

Ok I may have fixed this issue.

< div class="myProfileName">< a href="<?php echo Url('/profile/'.$UserName) ?>"><?php echo $Name; ?>< /a>< /div>

422

Ok sheesh I am dumb, and slow but persistant..

< div class="myProfileName">< a href="<?php echo Url('/profile/') ?>"><?php echo $Name; ?>< /a>< /div>

Now to get notification alert for this part.. to link to messages all.
Plus still need to echo users profile pic

@422 if we leave this long enough will you figure it out all by yourself? For user photo (which also links to their profile) use...

UserPhoto($Name)

422

Lol its a work in progress , i blog it so others can see what i am doing and what a knob i am lol

Will try that thanks , do you know var for messages all with count like u see on inbox menu

Inbox (3)

422

hmm so how would you render that UserPhoto on the page anywhere you want with associative url back to their profile ? I cannot get it to render correctly

clethrill

<a href="{link path="messages/inbox"}">Inbox {if $User.CountUnreadConversations} <span>{$User.CountUnreadConversations}</span>{/if}</a>

that is in smarty....

Well where you want it, you get the correct view for your theme and place echo UserPhoto($Name); should work

< am a noob.
trying to echo currently logged in users photo. Say I wanted it in footer, or wherever.

< div class="myPhoto">< img src="<?php echo Url(UserPhoto($Name)); ?>">< /div>

I ain't much better

for the $Name to be currently logged on user you would use $Session->UserID = $Name (I just realised what a weird word session is) I think.

For the messages $Name->CountUnreadConversations = $UnreadConvo not confident on that one, in the database there is only a countreadmessages

422

Well the name part I am sorted.. But can you echo currently logged in users avatar ? ( UserPhoto ) cos I sure as shit cant.

I always thought Flange was a great word

I used to have this in my helper_functions view for my theme, but I didn't like it and there is a plugin for it anyway. It displays the first and last users to post in that discussions photos.

15.   $Sender->EventArguments['Discussion'] = &$Discussion;
17.   $First = UserBuilder($Discussion, 'First');
18.   $Last = UserBuilder($Discussion, 'Last');

... a little bit later ...

44.   echo UserPhoto($First);
45.   if($Discussion->Comments > 1) 
46.      echo UserPhoto($Last);

and that worked perfectly fine

422

Yeah thats cool, i got that. But i want to echo userphoto of logged in user. I must be the worlds biggest noob, cos this has me beat

clethrill

$Session = Gdn::Session();
$Session->UserID 

?

The only place I have used the logged in users profile picture is in my minecraft theme, which uses smarty. minecraft-theme

this markdown shit is confusing me

422

Annoying isnt it

Also noted that user links, have their userid like this:

forum-theme/profile/2/username

How do we parse the userid ? ... argghh is there anywhere in the documentation that helps play with these vars
