Integration with "Where Are They" (Australia)

Modified By Rodney Joyce on 10/26/2006 5:16:43 AM)

g'day guys.

In reference to this post on the ventrain forums (http://www.ventrian.com/Support/ProductForums/tabid/118/forumid/10/postid/11310/view/topic/Default.aspx),

I'd ask, how do you integrate the User Profile with the "where are they" module so that you can click on the user, and it takes you to their profile, or even homepage?

I'm guessing its something like passing the URL on, with the userID to a custom page to display the correct profile. Just not sure where to start...

Re: Integration with "Where Are They" (United Kingdom)

Right, to integrate Ventrian's Where Are They Module with Smart-Thinker's UserProfile module:

Go to the Settings page of the WAT module. Change the HTML Body to:

<span class="NormalBold"><a href="/Home/MyAccount/MyProfile/UserProfile/tabid/116/ID/[USERID]/Default.aspx">[USER]</a> [COUNT] - </span> <a href="[LINK]" class="Normal">[PAGENAME]</a><br>

Obviously you can suit the rest of it to your requirements, but the important bit is:
<a href="/Home/MyAccount/MyProfile/UserProfile/tabid/116/ID/[USERID]/Default.aspx">[USER]</a>

Unfortunately as you can see I had to hardcode the TabID of the UserProfile Profile page (116) - there is no way around this as this customization requires zero code changes (thanks to Scott's nice Templating ability). You will need to view your UserProfile page to work out what your TabID is from the browser querystring.

Let me know if you have any questions...

Thanks
Rodney
