Filter Profile Link

#1 · April 22, 2021, 12:17 am

Hi there,

I’m trying to filter the topic user profile link to a different profile page. I’m using:

add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_profile_link', 'modify_profile_link', 10, 2);
function modify_profile_link( $userObject, $additional_parameters = false ){

  $profileLink = 'https://theseekersforum.com/my-profile/' . $userObject->ID;
       
  return $profileLink;
}

But $userObject->ID is blank. Why isn’t $userObject actually populated with the post user? How can I get the ID of the user for the current post?

Thanks,
Jonah

Hey @jonahcoyote,

your function modify_profile_link is wrong. This functions gets the parameter $profileLink and $userObject. So you basically try to get an ID of the profile link. Please try the following code:

add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_profile_link', 'modify_profile_link', 10, 2);
function modify_profile_link( $profileLinke, $userObject ){
  $profileLink = 'https://theseekersforum.com/my-profile/' . $userObject->ID;
       
  return $profileLink;
}

You can also use my Plugin “Toolbox for Asgaros Forum” to change the URL of the profile link.

If you ever wonder how to return the favour for helping you.
