Adding a custom link

    I know this has been brought up before and I’ve also read all the documentation on wpusersplugin.com. However, I am still stuck.

    On my site I am using User Profile Made Easy (https://profileplugin.com/). It uses user_ID to retrieve any users profile, e.g. xxxxx.com/profile/?viewuser=1. I’d like to add this to the column display_name. I know in a previous version I was able to do this via ‘Before’ and ‘After’ (I did something like this for a private messaging plugin). But for the life of me I can’t remember how I did it.

    I wouldn’t mind adding a custom function, but am not sure how. I tried this example, reasoning I could adapt it to my needs:

    if (!function_exists('ausers_format_user_nicename')) {
 function ausers_format_user_nicename($v, $u) {
 if (!empty($u->user_url))
 return ('user_url.'">'.$v.'');
 else return ($v);
 }
 }

    But I am greeted with a white screen in amr. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    white space usually means you have something wrong in your php code.

    also the html you are returning there is badly broken.

    try

    return ('<href="'.$u->user_url.'">'.$v.'</a>');

    then when you have that working, replace the user url with whatever you need to generate the profile link that that plugin generates.

    Sorry, still couldn’t get this to work. I resorted to directly editing an existing function (edit_user) to accomplish what I need. I know it’s not recommended and I have to change after each plugin update but I’ll have to make due, I am not a PHP programmer and no time time to dig into this.

    Thanks anyway.
