[SOLVED] insert custom hyperlink in each profile?

13 years 10 months ago #132937 by daywalker0028
I want to put a hyperlink somewhere in the CB User Profile page view - either as a text link (e.g. <a href="http://this kind of link code">sample text link) or a graphical button.

The URL of this link/nav button should be different for each CB User Profile and it should be editable only by the website administrators (from the admin back end) and NOT by any of the users - at least not by any free registered users.
If necessary, I am ok with allowing paid subscribers to have edit rights to this field.

I want this link to be located either as a TAB (with the Tab itself being the hyperlink or as a child of a "See My AD" Tab with the hyperlink located inside the field data window (the box located below the Tabs), just like the rest of the other Tab's registration field data.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

You can easily add such hyperlink using a delimiter field then adding a unique substitution such as the following to generate dynamic links.

[code:1]
<a href="www.invalid.com/code.php?user=[user_id]">Sample Link</a>
[/code:1]

The substitution [user_id] will append the actual users User ID to the URL. Substitutions for any user field are available as well as much more; please see tutorials in signature for substitution usage.

Additional you could manually enter the URLs on a user by user basis using a Web Address field that is set to Read Only (so users can't edit it).

Thank you.
That was the method I was looking for.

And the other dynamic solution for a text hyperlink sounds pretty handy, too.

I hope to put that to use in the future.
