User ID in posts

[chrisbr]

Hi there


On my forum, i'm going to start a refereal contest. Ive added their refferal ID to the user CP using an modifaction.

However, if there a way that i can make something like a BB code that would pick up when a member reads a thread their own user ID number?

for example, CP says that their link is like:
http://domain.net/index.php?referrerid=1


so if there could be a way that i can create a BB code to generate the memeber number in a post i could do something like

"your refferal link is http://domain.net/index.php?referrerid=[memberno]"

seen this done before in invision but can't find anythng here as ID is not a valid search string HGRRRRR

Anyone have any ideas?

have you tried $post[userid] ?

[chrisbr]

This does not work, or i cannot get it to work,

how are you emplying to add the $post thing?

[EnIgMa1234]

http://domain.net/index.php?referrerid=$post[userid]

You need to use it in a template

mhmm, not exactly what i have in mind i think, all i want to be able to do is simply post like i'm doing here with say:

To link to us, please use this link below
http://domain.net/index.php?referrerid=****

and then to have something generate the number of the member's ID which is viewing this post
