Adding a "View Profile" link?

[Leviathan]

I run a mybb powered website at www.scribblehub.com. One of the most user-requested features is to add a "View profile" link in the dropdown menu on users profiles. Here is what I think it should do.

Get the Mybb user ID

Assign it to a variable.

Add replace the end of the view profile link with the variable.
(The "View profile link" is http://scribblehub.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=[USER ID HERE]
Put it in the dropdown menu.


Does anybody have any advice?

Did this for my site, which is SMF, but shouldn't be a problem, just changing the URL, as you have provided.  Thoyugh this will only work with your MyBB member IDs are integrated with the Ajax Chat Member IDs

chat/js/chat.js 

Look for this

+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.insertMessageWrapper(\'/describe '

Add BEFORE 

+ '<li><a target="_blank" href="http://scribblehub.com/member.php?action=profile&uid='
+ userID
+ '">'
+ this.lang['userMenuProfileView']
+ '</a></li>'

 

then, you need to goto chat.js/lang/en.js

and add the following somewhere within the file

userMenuProfileView: 'View User Profile',

Thank you so much for you reply. I have done as you asked, but unfortunately, when I attempt to click on a users name in the chatroom, I get the following error.

Error: Invalid DOM Syntax (DOM ID: ajaxChat_um_(This number varies with each user I click on.).

I have attached my Chat.js, along with my en.js. HAve I done something wrong, or is there something else I should do?

change this block

	getUserNodeStringItems: function(encodedUserName, userID, isInline) {
		var menu;
		if(encodedUserName !== this.encodedUserName) {
			menu 	= '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.insertMessageWrapper(\'/msg '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ ' \');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuSendPrivateMessage']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a target="_blank" href="http://scribblehub.com/member.php?action=profile&uid='
					+ userID
					+ '">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuProfileView']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.insertMessageWrapper(\'/describe '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ ' \');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuDescribe']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/query '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ '\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuOpenPrivateChannel']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/query\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuClosePrivateChannel']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/ignore '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ '\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuIgnore']
					+ '</a></li>';

To this:

	getUserNodeStringItems: function(encodedUserName, userID, isInline) {
		var menu;
		if(encodedUserName !== this.encodedUserName) {
			menu 	= '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.insertMessageWrapper(\'/msg '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ ' \');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuSendPrivateMessage']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a target="_blank" href="http://scribblehub.com/member.php?action=profile&uid='
					+ userID
					+ '">View Profile</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.insertMessageWrapper(\'/describe '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ ' \');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuDescribe']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/query '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ '\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuOpenPrivateChannel']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/query\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuClosePrivateChannel']
					+ '</a></li>'
					+ '<li><a href="javascript:ajaxChat.sendMessageWrapper(\'/ignore '
					+ encodedUserName
					+ '\');">'
					+ this.lang['userMenuIgnore']
					+ '</a></li>';

Don't worry about the Eng file, you don't need it for this.

^ yeah, I considered hardcoding the language text, but perhaps he had members that use a different language, though he would have to modify all lang files lol.

I will do that as soon as humanly possible, and get back to you, Syn. For some unknown reson, since yesterday, I have been unable to connect to my website, but everybody else can. My network is completely unable to connect to scribblehub.com.

[Leviathan]

I get another invalid DOM syntax now every time I clock on a name in the Ajax chat. Can I fix this?

Did you remove whatever changes you made to your language file? The earlier suggested changes were not needed unless you plan on using more than one language for your chat.

Yes sir. I have enclosed my en.js, along with my chat.js, like before. If you have the time, could you look over them and make any necessary changes? I will do whatever I can to compensate you.

Thanks, it works perfectly.
