User profile field that can parse links

[Brent H]

I'm trying to find a way for a custom user profile field to parse links. You could have a multiline textbox, and on each line the user would enter a URL which would be turned into a link after submission.

Anyone have any ideas?

Create a plugin on the member_customfields hook, and turn the urls into links. Where 6 is the profile field ID.

if ($profilefield['value'] != '' AND $profilefield[profilefieldid] == 6) 
{
        $links = explode ("\n", $profilefield['value']);
        $output = array();
        foreach ($links as $link)
        {
                  $link = trim($link);
                  if (!empty($link))
                  {
                            $output[] = '<a href="' . $link . '">' . $link . '</a>';
                  }
        }
        $profilefield['value'] = implode('<br />', $output);
}

When I enable that plugin, the field I'm applying it to doesn't show up.

My field ID is 9, and this is what I have for the plugin:

if ($profilefield['value'] != '' AND $profilefield[profilefieldid] == 9) 
{
        $links = explode ("\n", $profilefield['value']);
        $output = array();
        foreach ($links as $link)
        {
                  $link = trim($link);
                  if (!empty($link))
                  {
                            $ouput[] = '<a href="' . $link . '">' . $link . '</a>';
                  }
        }
        $profilefield['value'] = implode('<br />', $output);
}

I've tried it on a multiline text box and a single line text box; both are displaying nothing when enabled, and only the plain text when disabled. What am I doing wrong?

I had a typo in the code. There is a 't' missing from the word 'output' in the if block in the foreach loop.

Excellent, it works beautifully. Thank you very much!
