TOPIC: Link to CB profile

Is there a way to link the author of the hotspot to his/her CB profile? I mean the author title in the hotspot that he/her had published to be linked to his/her CB profile

Thanks

Not right now. Actually you could edit the view files for this and add a link to the users that a registered.

I'll add such an option in 2.1 .

Thanks for reply Daniel,

can you also tell me what part of de source code to hack to get this feature while waiting the version 2.1?

Thanks

Are you a developer or do you need a step by step instructions?

Maybe if you can suggest me how and where change code would be better.

thanks

If you go to components/com_hotspots/views/hotspots/tmpl/default.php (this is the single view of the hotspot)
You have a object - $this->hotspot that holds everything you need

with $this->hotspot->autoruserid you get the user id .

And in this file we just output the autor name, so you have to make a link to com_comprofiler that will be something like this
pastebin.com/S0xZwt3Y

You get the idea.

I'm not sure hot to change it in this:

<?php

$autor = hotspotsUtils::showautor($this->hotspot->autor);

$postdate = hotspotsUtils::showdate($this->hotspot->postdate);



if ($autor != "" && $postdate != "")

echo JTEXT::_('Posted by') . ' ' . $autor . ' ' . JTEXT::_('on') . ' ' . $postdate;

elseif ($autor != "" && $postdate == "")

echo JTEXT::_('Posted by') . ' ' . $autor;

elseif ($autor == "" && $postdate != "")

echo JTEXT::_('Posted on') . ' ' . $postdate;



?>

Could you please suggest me? Thanks

something like this:
pastebin.com/Uai6WP2t

should be something wrong in the syntax...

pastebin.com/HdFt8SDV - this one should work. I thought that you know php, that is why I didn't bother testing the code. I've tried this one and it shows the author with a link to cb - I'm not actually sure that this is the proper link, but you'll have to figure this out on your own

I can confirm this worked. Thanks
