bp_user_link doesn’t work anymore?

{ open “a” tag } href=”{ php bp_user_link() }activity”>Activity { close “a” tag }

That line used to direct me to the member’s activity page; however, now it leads me to “sitedomain.com/activity”

Also, I looked in the source code and the php tag gets stripped completely.

It was working just fine yesterday and I didn’t touch a thing. Did this tag get deprecated all of a sudden?

Note: I can’t post the tags so I put in the brackets.

Which version of BP are you running? Where have you placed your code? I have not checked to see if bp_user_link() has been deprecated, but it is easy enough to do a global search and find out.

By the way, you use the “code” tag enclosed within angled brackets to display code. Just close the code tag after you’re finshed:

function example() { // do something here
}

bp_user_link() is still in BP 1.2.x. You must have changed something, it wouldn’t stop working by itself…

bp_user_link hasn’t been deprecated, but it’s on the chopping block.

I think we’ll need to sweep through the functions for 1.3 and strongly define what the _member_/_loggedin_/_displayed_/_user_ function names are inferring. In the past (and currently) some of these were used rather inconsistently. I cleaned some of this up in the branch last night for 1.2.4, but there’s plenty more to do.

I noticed the same problem. I don’t know if it had been there all along and I just hadn’t noticed, but I just upgraded to Buddypress 1.2.4. I’m also using the the BuddyPress Template Pack to create a custom theme. To work around the problem, I replaced:
<?php bp_user_link() ?>
with:
<?php bloginfo(‘url’) ?>/members/<?php bp_displayed_user_username() ?>

By the way, the “code” tag does not work on here, nor does the “pre” tag. Use HTML entities to display angled brackets.

fat finger? – returning the logged in user instead of the displayed user

function bp_displayed_user_link() {
echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link();
}
function bp_user_link() { bp_displayed_user_link(); }

where both should be point to:

function bp_get_displayed_user_link() {
global $bp;

return apply_filters( ‘bp_get_displayed_user_link’, $bp->displayed_user->domain );
}

Looks like bp_user_link() should be this:
function bp_user_link() { echo bp_displayed_user_link(); }

Also bp_displayed_user_link() needs to be changed to:

function bp_displayed_user_link() {
echo bp_get_displayed_user_link();
}
