Snippet for shortcode user profile: how to link rather than embed

@markburton52

You can use these code lines for your EM code snippets

$user_profile_url = um_user_profile_url( $user_id ); 
echo '<div>' . esc_url( $user_profile_url ) . '</div>';

Thanks. I’m not sure where that goes. Here’s my attempt at modifying the snippet to embed the profile via shortcode so it returns a link. I’m not confident in php and it doesn’t work.

/**
 * Sample usage: [um_link_profile user_id="123" form_id="3"]
 */
add_shortcode("um_link_profile","um_082321_link_specific_profile");
function um_082321_link_specific_profile( $atts ){

    $atts = shortcode_atts( array(
        'user_id' => get_current_user_id(),
        'form_id' => 0,
    ), $atts );
   extract( $atts );
    UM()->user()->target_id = $user_id;
   $user_profile_url = um_user_profile_url( $user_id ); 
echo '<div>' . esc_url( $user_profile_url ) . '</div>';
    }

Here you have a shortcode for Profile links

add_shortcode( 'um_profile_link', 'um_profile_link_shortcode' );
function um_profile_link_shortcode( $atts, $content ) {

// shortcode [um_profile_link user_id="2"]title text[/um_profile_link]
// user_id empty for current profile page user_id
// title text optional

    if ( ! class_exists( 'UM' )) {
        return '';
    }

    if ( ! isset( $atts['user_id'] ) || empty( $atts['user_id'] )) {
        $atts['user_id'] = um_profile_id();
    }

    $user_id = absint( $atts['user_id'] );
    if ( empty( $user_id ) ) {
        return '';
    }

    $user_profile_url = um_user_profile_url( $user_id );

    return '<a href="' . esc_url( $user_profile_url ) . '" title="' . esc_attr( $content ) . '">Link to profile</a>';
}

Thanks – it is just giving me the shortcode entered:

[um_profile_link user_id=”NNN″]title text [/um_profile_link]

(where ‘NNN’ is the user id that I used)

@markburton52

OK, I am working on a new shortcode plugin, which includes all your current shortcodes to make your site easier to setup and support.
The user ID will be entered via a WP filter from your EM pages.

Thank you, that’s very kind.

@markburton52

The UM User Meta shortcode will be included also.
I have included support for video links also.

@markburton52

Now you can download the first version of the “Shortcode Profile Info” plugin.

Thanks. I’ve tried it and you can see the results on this page.

It all worked for me except for the user profile link which delivered the logged in user’s profile, not the user specified via user id. I didn’t try the video version.

It would also be good if it were possible to put a field’s content into the link text in the URL versions. E.g. the last test on my page delivers the artist’s performance name – having that link to their profile would save a few steps for me. I know that you can’t usually nest shortcodes within one another.

It’s going to be a great resource and I’ll acknowledge your work when we implement it on the live site.

Thanks for your feedback.

I have tested the profile link and it’s ok at my site.
Link to the logged in user’s profile is the UM default if user_id is missing.

to put a field’s content into the link text in the URL versions

Yes will be done in the next version of the plugin.

@markburton52

Thanks – that is all working properly now for me (I haven’t tried the video version).

@markburton52

Do you have the user_id available from the “Events Manager” plugin
to insert in the “Shortcode Profile Info” plugin’s user_id filter?

Hello @markburton52

You can use the [um_author_profile_link] shortcode to display a profile link. This shortcode displays a link to the post author by default but you can use the user_id attribute to display a link to any custom profile. See details here: User Profile URL.

Thanks! @yuriinalivaiko

Using this UM coding from the UM [um_author_profile_link] shortcode in the “Shortcode Profile Info” plugin’s filter function, you will get the artist’s user_id for all plugin Types.

add_filter( 'um_profile_info_shortcode', 'um_profile_info_shortcode_userid', 10, 3 );
function um_profile_info_shortcode_userid( $user_id, $type, $atts ) {
    $default_user_id = 0;
    if ( is_singular() ) {
        $default_user_id = get_post()->post_author;
    } elseif ( is_author() ) {
        $default_user_id = get_the_author_meta( 'ID' );
    }
    return $default_user_id;
}
