Hello,

I am here because i am trying to search a solution for my problem.
Here is my problem!

I use easysocial and k2. When i created a new item at the top in the toolbarnav and at the bottom appear all to getters the avatar and name author of the article. That's normal. But when you press in the avatar or in the name of the author that will redirect strait to K2 profiles and not to easysocial profil.
I tried somo redirection solution but unfortuntly without sucess.

I found the following code in the file item.php i know that i need to modified the "href" but i dont know by what. Could you please help me to solve this problem.

Thanks a lot

I am sorry but I do not have experience with Easysocial extension.

I think their developers should know how to retrieve the user's links.

Hi Krikor and tks for your answer.

Is not in K2 that i need to change something ? and not in easysocial extension.

Regards

If they provide you with how their link is constructed (outside their extension) using the author id then you can change it in K2.

Hi Kritor,

Tks for your help and answer.

Sorry for the delay to answer you but i was waiting the answer of easysocial support. look they told me that.

"I am not too sure how you are going to change this but to get the link of an author, one would need to use the block of codes below

require_once( JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_easysocial/includes/foundry.php' );

$user = Foundry::user( $authorId );
echo $user->getPermalink();


So with that could you help to solve my problem please?
I am sending the file foundry.php

Tks for all your help.

Regards

I think echo $user->getPermalink(); will produce the link to the user's profile.

To use it in K2 templates you would have to do something like.

<a rel="author" href="<?php echo $user->getPermalink(); ?>"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>

For elements like the avatar and such you have to ask the developer.

The file you sent me contains over 2000 lines of code and I cannot provide you with valid info.
