Need help with two things (php code)

DraganBabic · April 2007

Hi guys, I need help with some php code: - What's the code I need to put in the href attribute of an anchor to lead to the user's account page? (Like when you click on the account tab. I want to get rid of it and link the user's username in the #Session to the account page.) - What's the php code I need to put in the href that would lead the user to board's home? I don't want to hardcode my own since I'd like to make this style public.

with friendly url addon: "
http://lussumo.com/community/account/".$Context->Session->UserID."/"
normal :
"http://lussumo.com/community/account.php?u=".$Context->Session->UserID

its stored in : $Configuration['WEB_ROOT']
so use it : $Context->Configuration['WEB_ROOT'])

Dang, I don't get it...

This is too much for my designer brain to grasp... I guess I'm supposed to be editing something here (from menu.php):

echo '<div id="Session">';
   if ($this->Context->Session->UserID > 0) {
      echo str_replace('//1',
         $this->Context->Session->User->Name,
         $this->Context->GetDefinition('SignedInAsX')).' (<a href="'.$this->Context->Configuration['SIGNOUT_URL'].'" class="Signout">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('SignOut').'</a>)';
   } else {
      echo $this->Context->GetDefinition('NotSignedIn').' (<a href="'.AppendUrlParameters($this->Context->Configuration['SIGNIN_URL'], 'ReturnUrl='.GetRequestUri()).'">'.$this->Context->GetDefinition('SignIn').'</a>)';
   }
   echo '</div>';

But f*** if I know what to do... Basically all I want to do is link the username to the account page.

PS

Is there a way to make it friendly/query-visible URL scheme independent? I wouldn't like to break the functionality of the users who don't use the friendly URLs with this.

Dragan: we think alike--I just made this change myself for my own forum.

This is what I did, added to the top of the extension file, but would work in conf/language.php also:

$Context->Dictionary['SignedInAsX'] = 'Signed in as <a href="'
. $Context->Configruation['BASE_URL'] . '/account' 
. ('Standard' == $Context->Configuration['URL_BUILDING_METHOD'] ? '.php' : '/' .'">//1</a>';

You might want to change the CSS also, because the link doesn't appear to be a link other than when its hovered.

When I put your code WallPhone in language.php so it looks like this:

<?php
// Custom Language Definitions
$Context->Dictionary['SignedInAsX'] = 'Signed in as <a href="'. $Context->Configruation['BASE_URL'] . '/account'. ('Standard' == Context->Configuration['URL_BUILDING_METHOD'] ? '.php' : '/' .'">//1</a>';

?>

It doesn;t work.

Too bad, that would rock.

Whoops, that was my untested version. Try this:


<?php
// Custom Language Definitions
$Context->Dictionary['SignedInAsX'] = 'Signed in as <a href="'. $Context->Configuration['BASE_URL'] .'account'. ('Standard' == $Context->Configuration['URL_BUILDING_METHOD'] ? '.php' : '/') .'">//1</a>';
?>

Yaaaay! It works!

Thank you so much WallPhone!
