working on a new template modification - need help

I am working on modification that will allow members to link their Facebook Messenger Account to their user profile. I already have the postbit and profile fields set, that was not much of a lift. However, when I try to add information to the memberaction_dropdown, I can't get this to link right

Postbit - Works

Code:

<vb:if condition="$post['fieldxx']"><a href="https://m.me/{vb:raw post.fieldxx}" target="_blank"><img src="images/postbit_social/messenger.png" alt="Contact {vb:raw post.fieldxx} on Messenger" border="" /></a></vb:if>

Member Dropdown - partial works (does not link to the user to message - bold is not working)

Code:

                <li class="left">

                        <a href="https://m.me/{vb:raw post.fieldxx}" target="_blank" class="siteicon_profile">

                                Contact me on Messenger

                        </a>

                </li>

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Scott

Try this:

HTML Code:

                <li class="left">

                        <a href="https://m.me/{vb:raw memberinfo.fieldxx}" target="_blank" class="siteicon_profile">

                                Contact me on Messenger

                        </a>

                </li>

I would recommend doing this with a plugin rather than hacking your templates. Create a plugin hooked at "memberaction_dropdown" with the PHP code:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($memberinfo['fieldxx'])
{
    $template_hook['memberaction_dropdown_items'] .= '<li class="left">
            <a href="https://m.me/' . $memberinfo['fieldxx'] . '" target="_blank" class="siteicon_profile">
                Contact me on Messenger
            </a>
        </li>';
}

I have a number of hacks already added to the memberaction_dropdown from the past leadership of the site I run now :)

I probably should look at adding them all as plug-ins at some point. :)

when I write-up the modificaiton, can I add the plug-in to the details (with you as a co-author)?

Sure, anything I post as a suggestion in a thread can be used freely. While I appreciate the citation as co-author, it's not necessary. :)
