The latest buddypress 1.2 default theme has this built in, it uses a custom wp_list_comments template callback. It’s really easy to do. Just google if you want to know more.
bp_core_get_userlink( $comment->user_id );
Use that in your comment template and you’ll get a link including anchors to your buddypress profile.
What do I add to my theme from this?
https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk/bp-themes/bp-default/comments.php
That code doesn’t show up there.
Anyone? Googling just comes up with threads here with people asking how to do this.
You may need to turn this:
<div id="respond">
<div class="comment-avatar-box">
<div class="avb">
<?php if ( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo bp_loggedin_user_domain() ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( bp_loggedin_user_id(), 50 ); ?>
</a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo get_avatar( 0, 50 ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
into this
<div id="respond">
<div class="comment-avatar-box">
<div class="avb">
<?php if ( bp_loggedin_user_id() ) : ?>
<a href="<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( $comment->user_id ); ?>">
<?php echo get_avatar( bp_loggedin_user_id(), 50 ); ?>
</a>
<?php else : ?>
<?php echo get_avatar( 0, 50 ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>
</div>
You can try that out to see if that works for you.
Thanks, but it didn’t do it. That left some stray code beneath the comment box. I don’t actually have <div class=”comment-avatar-box”> in my theme.
This just puts an unlinked http:// for the member beneath the comments:
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( $comment->user_id, false, true ) ?>
Anything else to add to that without the avatar code?
Yes, try this instead. You may need to tweak it a little, but I believe it will give you the link you are looking for. You will need to add the beginning bracket “<” and the ending one “>”.
a href="<?php echo bloginfo('home'); ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/<?php the_author(); ?>"><?php bp_post_author_avatar(); ?></a

A former thread is listed as resolved and it’s not exactly. I’m trying to link to members profiles on comments when they’re logged in. It was suggested to use:
<?php echo bp_core_get_userlink( $comment->user_id, false, true ) ?>
But not sure which php file to use – and where in the file. Not working with what I’ve done in single.php or comments.php.
