Hi,

If any of you use the Smart-Thinker UserProfile module AND the core forums module, you may be interested in this blog post of how to make the names on the profile posts link to the ST UserProfile module instead of the core forums profile.

In the forum I have centralized every link within the module. I have a single class which all internal links in the module reside, so for me to create a way for those links to change is pretty easy at this point. (I did this on purpose when working on the last release) I am looking to make option in the next release to allow the user profile overridable, and also considering the member directory and private messaging. The problem is, I am not sure of a pattern familiar with all of them besides possibly UserID, TabID, ModuleID. If anyone has an experience w/ the third party items, leave a post here.

Hey Chris,

That sounds good - this is a temporary solution in the meantime (I meant no disrepect to the Forums module of course ;)

I think the easiest way would be to use the core Token Replacement code in 4.6.0. I am refactoring all the Smart-Thinker modules to use it (for email and site templates) so that all the users will have a standard interface (e.g. [User:UserID]

IMHO the simplest solution would be to make the area where it displays a name a language string, and then run it through the token replacement classes, and dump whatever is says. So you could then edit the language string and make it something like   "<a href=xyz[User:UserID]>[User:DisplayName]</a>" or similar. Of course, a textbox UI for the template would be even better, but I'm trying to think of the easiest solution. I could then also display my Smart-Thinker UserProfile pic in the forums if you had a templatable area.

Rodney, I like when people find ways to integrate the module with other things. In fact, I would make it easier to do if I could just rely on newer DNN Core versions. I am seriously considering a 4.6.2 or greater for the next release just so I can include the token replacement system and offload lots of my custom code to do basically the same thing. I already need users to use 4.5 for the next version (Ajax), so considering 4.7 will be out before the forums come out (and probably a 4.7.x) I think the number of people using it by then will be the majority. With 4.4.3 I didn't have this luxury due to the long time between releases.

Chris,
 
The best way to implement this is to use html templates for the main forum views and expose/allow tokens in them. The few third party DNN modules that use this system are the easiest to customize and integrate throughout the portal without actually touching the code.
 
I think upping up the core version is the right way to go so you can utilize all the new features.
 
Regards.
