View Full Version : Formatting a userprofile field as an URL

I have created a user profile field that is a number.
This is 6 digit number.

I want this number to be added to a standard url in the format:

http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=######

where that 6 digit number takes the place of the ###### in the url above.

When displayed via the MEMBERINFO template, i'd like it to show up as follows:

m0nde's Dogster Profile (http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=134973)
where the $userinfo[username] variable is used to pull the user's name.

I'm not well versed in PHP and would like a bit of help with this.

I clumsily tried to write my own code for the above and this is what I've come up with for use in the MEMBERINFO template:

<tr><td colspan="2">
<if condition="$userinfo['field9']">
<span class="smallfont">Take a look at $userinfo[username]'s pet's <a href="http://www.dogster.com/pet_page.php?i=$userinfo[field9]" target="_blank">Dogster Profile</a></span><br />
<else />
$userinfo[username] hasn't set their Dogster ID</if>
<if condition="$userinfo['field8']">
<span class="smallfont">Take a look at $userinfo[username]'s pet's <a href="http://www.petster.com/cgi/profile.cgi?pet_id=$userinfo[field8]" target="_blank">Petster Profile</a></span>
<else />
$userinfo[username] hasn't set their Petster ID
</if>
</td></tr>This seems to work, so I'm just fixing up some cosmetic stuff!
