[Tweak] Link To Profile From Name Display
 

Description: Makes the name display of the person who posted in the postbit a link to their profile also.

Been requested many times, just released this simple mod. I did a quick search and never found this released so if it is please tell me.

Attached below. Enjoy. :)

hasnt this been done before? but well done!

Thats what I thought until I couldn't find it anywhere.

o_O

really...who knew!

Not me, of course. :p

It specifically wasnt done but there is a postbit mod with it....Im trying to remember the name of it

Installed. Something else I didnt think of doing on my post bit heheh

Feel free to use it in any postbit release. :)

I didnt add it to mine Tony so you know. Just put it on my boards hon hehe :)

Yes, but for future reference. :)

I did this and it got closed

I think you closed it acuallyt 0_o

Like I said I couldn't find any link so could you post it? Thanks.

Sorry to bust into your thread here, but would it be a pain in the *** to make something that would hyperlink everytime that a Members Name shows up in a post. (haha, that probably the first time you've seen the word hyperlink in a while!) It would link to the members profile of course.

It would work similar to bbcode, but the only problem I could see is that if it's dynamic it would add a big load to the server to query each word to see if it was a member. (especialy on LARGE boards)

Maybe it could be done as a static thing, a modification to the "convert urls to linked urls" part of posting... So it would make add the link only once, when a post was created and then it would be saved as bbcode in the post. Thus eliminating the need for dynamic linking. Of course you would have to add a maintnance function to covert old posts so the bbcode was added into the post.

SOrry for not posting this as a request, it's really just a suggestion. =)

Queries? I used HTML, adding a link does not create queries. Code in phpinclude and file hacking create queries. Adding a HTML code link doesn't affect your server.

And it's just the name in the author column, nothing more. (Like vBT)

Making hyperlinks automatically generate based on the template output would be extremely cool but I'd have no idea how you could do it. The only way I can think of is fetching the entire user table, but that would be extremely intensive when scanning the page for every single username.

Yeah, I don't think thats template material for now. :-/

No Screen Shot?

I'm going to screenshot a link?
