BuddyPress.org

Hello, I have a quick questions and it would be great if I have it answered,I am using buddy press, 0n my site http://horsesiq.com/, and when members are added it shows like this: http://horsesiq.com/members/christie/, now is there anyway that I can get rid of the members so that I can have a link like this: http://horsesiq.com/christie, please let me know if there is any solution.

Thank you

Use the code I posted above

@modemlooper, thank you so much that code works, really appreciate the help

@craigheyworth
You would have to enable php in widgets before you do anything. You can use this code in your themes functions.php to enable it:

add_filter('widget_text','execute_php',100);
function execute_php($html){
     if(strpos($html,"<"."?php")!==false){
          ob_start();
          eval("?".">".$html);
          $html=ob_get_contents();
          ob_end_clean();
     }
     return $html;
}

Then in a text widget you could add @modemloopers code above for examples.

I would not do that. Not safe. You can create your own widgets.

@craigheyworth
I guess that is good info if you knew in the first place how to create your own widgets and I am assuming you wouldn’t otherwise you wouldn’t have asked for help. Also if one does not elaborate why it is not safe, I personally would like to here the explanation as to why myself. You just wanted to create some dynamic links correct? Its not like your giving them a form to execute malicious php code in. Saying it is not safe given the circumstances of the specific use is not really valid in my opinion without a clear explanation.

@craigheyworth
I was actually just responding about it being dangerous. I simply meant if someone tells you it is dangerous they should at least say why, after all you was only going to use it to add links.

@craigheyworth
You can try these with the text widget providing you enabled php like my example above.
For Friends Link:
user_login . ‘/friends/’; ?>”>Friends

For Messages Link:
user_login . ‘/messages/’; ?>”>Messages

May not be perfect but it works. You could add an unordered list and wrap them in list items and style them how you choose. Good luck!

@craigheyworth
Oops I forgot to wrap the code lets try again:
For Friends Link:

<a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/friends/'; ?>">Friends</a>

For Messages Link:

<a href="<?php global $current_user; echo home_url() . '/members/' . $current_user->user_login . '/messages/'; ?>">Messages</a>
