Txanny – Any ideas on this?

Okay, Txanny, thanks for checking. I will continue checking this post.

If it’s any help, I think an extra script will need to be added in /mu-plugins/ so that it executes on every page site-wide, rather than only on blogs where Open Community is activated (in my set-up, it’s only activated on blog #1).

I think we just need to re-define the “comment_author_link” and “get_avatar” functions sitewide the same way you’ve done it for a single blog.

Hope you can help.

Thanks MichaelH — Yeah, I don’t want to use shortcode because I want these profile pages to be their own unique page (not a post nor an actual page — many users don’t even have their own blog!). And actually none of the plugins I’ve found in the directory do what I’m talking about other than BuddyPress, but I want something far far simpler than BP.

I’ll look into a template tag for theme’s index.php … but it would make the plugin much nicer for other folks if there’s a way to make this happen without hacking a theme file (like with hooks?). I feel like somebody who understands how the index page and/or permalinks work could point me in the right direction?

For example, in many themes it seems that the URLs example.com/tag/tag-name/ and example.com/search/search+terms will both populate the main content area with the results of their particular scripts. Am I even headed in the right direction?
