Profile settings in client.xml

[lewism]

In the client.xml, it is suggested to do the following. I have tried various ways but cannot get it to work. Can you post exactly what the url would be to get the users JomSocial profile on joomla 1.6.

Thank you.

>eg: http://yourwebsite/profile.php?user=%USER%
>Note: you can add more than one item in profileUrl tag, for instance, one for profile, one >for photo link.

example: <item url="http://yourwebsite/profile.php?user=%USER%" name="Profile">

Dear Lewism,

Thanks for your question.

You also can change the URL in admin panel - Client settings - User Defined Menu, and enable it.

Can you post exactly what the url would be to get the users JomSocial profile on joomla 1.6.

Sorry, I am unable to tell you the exactly URL, because it depends on the profile page path in your webiste, and you don't need to change "?user=%USER%". Thanks for your understanding.

If you don't want to set the profile link, you also can change it to Google, or other link.

Thanks!

That doesn't work, I've tried it several times now.
For example, looking up user name 'testuser'.

The URL is;
http://www.mydomain.com/en/my-tools/78-testuser

So what would I enter?

Dear Lewism,

I have no idea what the exactly URL is, because The URL depends on the profile page path. I’m really sorry Lewism.

This is the instruction of User Defined Menu (User Defined Menu - User Manual of 123 Flash Chat Server Software Version 9.0). I hope it will be useful. Also please add this parameter "?user=%USER%" at the end of the URL.

If you have any other question, please let me know and I will reply ASAP.

Just use http://mydomain/ and I'll fill in the domain/path. You already know it's a joomla site and I'm wanting to call up the users JomSocial profile since I mentioned it when I started this question.

I do have this, unless I'm missing something.

http://www.mydomain.com/en/my-tools/...hp?user=%USER%

This doesn't work. I've tried various combinations as well. I am missing something.
PS: Even the link you gave me for the manual shows different options than what my server shows.
In the License info, it shows; 123 Flash Chat V Full Version (v9.0.1-20110510)

It's been DAYS, can someone PLEASE help with this.

[lewism]

According to someone else, this is what they told me.


***SNIP***
You can use the Joomla API to retrieve $user object
Code: Select all
$user =& JFactory::getUser();

Now, if you want to link that object to profile page, use something along this lines
Code: Select all
$userid = $user->id;
$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=pro file&userid='.$userid);
***END***

Can you tell me how I can do this please. How does one call up the users JomSocial profile on a joomla site.

[lewism]

I don't seem to have the right URL to pull up the users. 123flashchat seems to keep track of the joomla user Name and not the Username. At least this is what shows in the /server/data/default/roomxx.txt files.


Here are some other examples.

Using;
http://www.mydomain.com/my-tools/pro...hp?user=%USER%
I get;
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDocumentRAW::addCustomTag() in /var/www/html/components/com_community/controllers/controller.php on line 220

Using;
http://www.mydomain.com/my-tools/%USER%
I get;
http://www.mydomain.com/my-tools/Testuser1

The actual URL for that user from inside joomla is;
http://www.mydomain.com/my-tools/50-Testuser1.html

So, what am I missing?
FYI, I do have SEO turned on in Joomla configuration.

That would not work because we don't know the users ID. Unless youmean something else?
The test user I show in my example is how usernames are displayed in jomsocial.

Don't you have the programmers who designed this addon around to help?
