Hi,
in my forum I have a special sub-forum where members can introduce themselves. A lot of members asked me how they could make a connection between their public profile and their introdction-posting.
So I added a custom field to the profile and explained the members how to copy a direct link to their introduction-posting into this field.
Problems:
1.) the URL will be rendered as a text, not as a link
2.) manual copying of links into a profile-field is far to complicated for most of my users
Are you aware of a better solution? I think the best solution would be, if a little info text would be shown everytime when a user creates a new message and has not started a thread in the introduction forum yet. The text would say something like:
"You haven`t introduced yourself yet as required by the forum rules. If this is your introduction please click on this button if you`d like to add a link to your introduction-posting to your profile".
What do you think? Do you have better suggestions? I`d love to hear your thoughts.
all the best,
Sacha
