To link to contact info/form page of the users IF IT EXISTS for each user:

edit your category_items.php file of the default template (better duplicate the template and then replace) and

replace lines:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>
	<td><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?></td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF item fields -->

with the following lines:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>

	<?php
	$link='';
	$link_title='';
	if ($name=='created_by') {
		$query = "SELECT id FROM #__contact_details WHERE user_id=". $item->created_by;
		$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
		$db->setQuery($query);
		$contact_id = $db->loadResult();
		if ($contact_id) {
			$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id='.$contact_id);
			$link_title = JText::_('Contact Details');
		}
	}
	?>
	
	<td>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "<a href='$link' alt=='$link_title'>" : ""; ?>
		<?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "" : ""; ?>
	</td>
	
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF item fields -->

This will create links to the contact form of the user if his/her contacts exists.

Does community builder have a similar page?
In my old version i checked to create a menu item to contact/form/details, it did not have a menu item, only a personal profile.

If i get time to install new version i will check.

For link generate is

Code:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>

   <?php
   $link='';
   $link_title='';
   if ($name=='created_by') {
      $query = "SELECT id FROM #__comprofiler WHERE user_id=". $item->created_by;
      $db = & JFactory::getDBO();
      $db->setQuery($query);
      $contact_id = $db->loadResult();
      if ($contact_id) {
         $link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$contact_id);
         $link_title = JText::_('Contact Details');
      }
   }
   ?>
   
   <td>
      <?php echo ($link) ? "<a href='$link' alt=='$link_title'>" : ""; ?>
      <?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?>
      <?php echo ($link) ? "" : ""; ?>
   </td>

Your code will work but:

You don't need to make query for contact id for the community builder because the ids are the same so the following code will first try the get link
1. The Community Builder User Profile
2. and then the Standard Joomla Contact Details
(if CB component does not exist)

So you can use this code:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>

	<?php
	$link='';
	$link_title='';
	if ($name=='created_by') {
		// FIRST TRY community builder
		if ($mainframe->getParams('com_comprofiler')) {
			$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user='.$item->created_by);
			$link_title = JText::_('Author Profile');
		}
		
		// SECOND TRY standard Joomla Contact Details
		else
		{
			$query = "SELECT id FROM #__contact_details WHERE user_id=". $item->created_by;
			$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
			$db->setQuery($query);
			$contact_id = $db->loadResult();
			if ($contact_id) {
				$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id='.$contact_id);
				$link_title = JText::_('Contact Details');
			}
		}
	}
	?>
	
	<td>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "<a href='$link' alt=='$link_title'>" : ""; ?>
		<?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "" : ""; ?>
	</td>
	
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF item fields -->

One more question - can this be done directly in the Field, not on current template?

I mean in "Core.php"?

I ask for this, because will use 10-20 different templates in one site

Yes, it can be done by adding one more parameter to FLEXIcontent --core-- field plugin that creates the all core fields.

The other way do this, would be to create a new field, which would allows to easily add more options to it such as creating links to other stuff too ...

I will make a new enhancement issue in the BUG Tracker for v1.5.7 ...

If you want to hack the core.php file inside the flexicontent plugins folder it should be easy to but your changes will be overwritten next time you upgrade.

Hi,

I've just found this topic, and this is exactly what I want to do. I'm trying to put links from the field "created by" to the community builder profile page of the author.

I tried to follow these steps but it doesn't seems to work (but actually i'm not really good at coding). Is there a new manipulation to do with the latest versions of flexicontent and Joomla (I'm working with Joomla 2.5) or maybe is there a plugin or an extension that can do that more easily ?

Thank you,

Caroline

The above code works, you will need the help of someone with good enough knowledge to apply this code to a FLEXIcontent template.

Because i have taken time to write the above to create a new field for it is not too much work, at the time i had opened this issue too:

code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... %20Summary

Plus our Author Layout view can be extended to display the community builder profile
