I’ve been trying to add external link (sub domain) in the members navigation or any members pages but just not getting it right..

I tried this one: sub.example.com/wall/<?php echo bp_displayed_user_mentionname(); ?>”>Join me

However,it returns to page not found because it outputs as sub.example.com/wall/sonia%3Cspan%20id=

The idea is to generate a link something like http://www.sub.example/wall/$username

P.s: I’ve domain and sub-domain with shared users db both bp installed..

Anyone’s help will be great.. Thanks

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 danbp, thanks for commenting..

I’m not looking for loggedin_user_link.. What I’m looking is to generate url of sub-domain with displayed user username like http://www.sub.example.com/$username i.e.. external domain link/ echo the displayed user username..

Hi,

sorry, less is more ! 😉
Try something like this within a function. The way to get the user_id depends where you insert the link(ie. in or outside members loop, blog, an so on).
```
if( bp_is_user() && ! bp_get_member_user_id() ) {
	$user_id = 'displayed: '. bp_displayed_user_id();
} else {
	$user_id = 'get_member_user: '. bp_get_member_user_id();
}
$username = bp_get_displayed_user_fullname( $user_id ); 
//$username = bp_core_get_username( $user_id );

echo '<a href=" '.wp_nonce_url( bp_core_get_user_domain( $user_id ) ).' " rel="nofollow">@'.$username .'</a>';
```
