where do I add this code to show the active users profile? I've embed [wpforo item="profile" id="25"] its only showing my Profile page
Global $wpforo;
$current_user_id = get_current_user_id();
if( $current_user_id ) $forum_profile_url = $wpforo->member->get_profile_url( $current_user_id );
Hi @darkness,
As far as i see. You don't need any code to get current user profile URLs, just use those URLs without specific user nickname and it'll automatically open current user profile pages:
- https://wpforo.com/community/profile/
- https://wpforo.com/community/account/
- https://wpforo.com/community/activity/
- https://wpforo.com/community/subscriptions/
Sorry I don't think you understand what I mean. I'm using the shortcode [wpforo item="profile" id="25"] But I want it to load up the CURRENT user rather then a specific one. I want to do something like [wpforo item="profile" id="$user_id"]
moved to a different plugin because of no solution and doesn't meet my needs... Pretty stupid code to make a shortcode with only a specific user ID..
Sorry to hear that. We've already started working on the current user shortcodes. So I hope you'll have an opportunity use it in future.
Thank you for trying wpForo!
do you want to show all online users ?
no all I wanted to do was make the shortcode [wpforo item="profile" id="25"] get the current user rather then a specific one. Something like [wpforo item="profile" id="$user_id"]
Please follow the steps:
1. open the wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpforo.php file
2. find the following line
public function init_shortcode_page(){
3. put the code below before this line if( $args['id'] || $args['slug'] ){
if( $args['item'] === 'profile' && !$args['id'] ) $args['id'] = $this->current_userid;
Then just use the following shortcode:
[wpforo item="profile"]
