Hi,

try bp_get_loggedin_user_link()

More here: http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=g&search=loggedin_user

Perhaps this one may work: <a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>

Reference

Hi,

To get the link to a user profile:
$link = bp_get_loggedin_user_link();

Many use examples can be found on the forum. Ie:

[Resolved] BuddyPress Links URLs

Is it possible to make Activity and Forum profile tabs private?

Hello @nanettedp,

don’t be sorry, we all started a day from 0.
You exposed (very clearly) your problem, that’s great ! The next step is to learn how to do that.

If you ask for aid on a support forum like this one, this implies in principle you already did something (who may not work as expected for ex.) In this case, you should show us what you’ve done, so somebody can help you.

As yo ask for a doc like a how-to, you can search on this forum or google a bit to find one. They’re plenty topics here about this, with more or less explanation and comments.

But you say you’re a newbie. It’s not like i don’t want to help you, but i can’t teach you this. You need some tech level, even a low one and i ignore which one you already have. It’s also time consuming and as mod i have other things to do here as teaching you. Hope you understand. 😉

As you didn’t really understand the function i indicate you, i assume you’re not familiar with php and how to use it. So you’re like i was a few years back: a newbie.

The only thing to do is to learn. You have to experiment, to read documentation, topics and what ever related to code, WP and BP… That’s how we all acquire experience !

Or i’m completely wrong and you meaned by i need a bit more help give me the solution. In other words, make the work for me so i can add it to my site.
If so, you can hire a developper from here.

Your first topic started with Is there a way that I can create a custom URL.

Yes there is a way. It’s you! Now it’s your turn to play: create and just do it!

Use bp_get_loggedin_user_link()

Hi,

you can use
bp_get_loggedin_user_link
Get the link for the logged-in user’s profile.

or
bp_loggedin_user_domain
Generate the link for the logged-in user’s profile.

Something like
$profilelink = '<a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">$user</a>';

Hi @famous,

anything directly related to URL for bp is listed here:
http://hookr.io/plugins/buddypress/#index=l&search=url

In most case, you can built a link by array, which generally extend pre existing parameters. It’s very variable and depend where and how the link shoud work.

Here some exemple snippets to add a link to a member’s profile.

/* add external link on buddy menu bar */
function bpfr_menubar_link() {
global $bp;

if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

$link = bp_get_loggedin_user_link();

	$bp->bp_nav[$slug] = array(
			'name'                    => 'View my profile',
			'slug'                    => 'super_link',
			'link'                    => $link,
			'css_id'                  => 'super-link',	
			'position'                => 20
		);
}
add_action( 'bp_core_new_nav_item', 'bpfr_menubar_link', 999 );

/* link to profile on SWA page */
function goto_my_profile_tab() {
  if ( !is_user_logged_in() )
    return false;

  if ( bp_is_active( 'xprofile' ) )

    echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';
  
}
add_action( 'bp_activity_type_tabs', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // SWA page
add_action( 'bp_members_directory_member_types', 'goto_my_profile_tab' ); // members directory page

/* shortcode linking to profile [xyz] */
function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	
return '<a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'xyz', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );

Another technique for groups here.

In hope this will help you to go further.

Use a condition.

Function xxxxx() {
   if( is_user_logged_in() ) {

  echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';

   }
}

This question was asked 4 days ago here:
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/how-users-can-link-to-their-profile/

And some other search result you can read also, here:
https://buddypress.org/support/search/bp_get_loggedin_user_link/

Finally, question is: which menu are you talking about ? Give details please.

hi @nnyorker,
use bp_get_loggedin_user_link()

For example
echo '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a></li>';

Reference

bp_get_loggedin_user_link

Try this:

// depending the theme Main Menu, somwhere near Home, About, etc
function bpfr_custom_setup_nav( $items) {
	
    if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {		
        $items = '<li><a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'activity/news-feed/">News feed</a></li>';	
    }
    return $items;
}
// 10 is the priority, 1 is the position in the menu
add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'bpfr_custom_setup_nav', 10, 1 );

Hi,

certainly, but you have to ask for this on woocommerce support to get sure. I don’t use woocommerce…

Something like this
return ' <a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';

or

echo '<a href="'.bp_core_get_user_domain($user_ID).'">'.bp_displayed_user_fullname();.'</a>';

Hi @andrew55,
add this snippet to bp-custom.php. Now you can use shortcode [profilo] in any blog post, blog comment, page and BP notice. Note that activity walls are stripped, the shortcode will not work/appear there.

For bbPress topics and replies, use this plugin. Read the doc, as you’ll have to check user capacity to get it to work for participant.

function bpfr_link_to_profile() {	

	return ' <a href="'. bp_get_loggedin_user_link() .'">View my profile</a>';			
}
add_shortcode( 'profilo', 'bpfr_link_to_profile' );
add_filter( 'comment_text', 'do_shortcode' );

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 );
}

Here’s what I’m using for:

My Profile tab:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

<li<?php if ( bp_is_my_profile() ): ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link(); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'My Profile', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

<?php endif; ?>

Members tab:

<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) || bp_is_member() && !bp_is_my_profile()) : ?> class="selected"<?php endif; ?>>

<a href="<?php echo site_url() ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/" title="<?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Members', 'buddypress' ) ?></a>

</li>

Slightly simpler than yours. But if there’s an even, simpler way let me know!

I’m interested in this fix as well, but don’t quite understand how to put together bp_get_loggedin_user_link() and is_user_logged_in() to make a link to the members profile page.

I’m using the sidebar login widget and when you click profile on the sidebar once logged in, it goes to the WP profile page on the backend, not the buddypress profile.

Is there a way to use your above method to patch this somehow? I figured this was how it was supposed to be but I did something wrong? Thanks

Here you go:

<?php if(is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

<a href="<?php echo bp_get_loggedin_user_link(); ?>"><img src="LINK TO YOUR BUTTON" alt="My Profile" /></a>

<?php endif; ?>
