[Resolved] Changing in the address of the "author" page.

[Author]

[Bochnacki]

I would like in the address bar instead of "? Author_id = 123" was the nickname of the user whose profile is shown on the page.
So instead of:
hidden link
should by:
hidden link
Or even better:
hidden link
But I do not know if this is possible ...

I will be grateful for the help.

Hi Bochnacki,

Thank you for getting in touch with us. It depends on how you have created this page and how user navigate to this page. Have you created a View >> that shows all Dealers >> and from there we click on a dealer's name >> then goes to this page?
hidden link

If above is true, then please provide link for the main page as well that shows all dealers or explain how user goes to this page and how this page or url is being build right now?

Thank you

[Bochnacki]

This page hidden link is a normal WordPress page. Two views are shown on it, depending on the role of the author. Here https://toolset.com/forums/topic/author-page-depending-on-the-role-of-the-user/ this process is more thoroughly described.
You can go to the author page by clicking on the nickname (on the right hand side of each post) from hidden link
I hope I have clarified this and it will help.

Okay thanks its clear now. I found the login info in the old ticket. Can you please take a full back of your site and database, I am going to debug this further to find the solution.

And please send me the [View edit link] that is used on this page, so I can update it accordingly:
hidden link

Thank you

[Bochnacki]

I'm not sure I understand you well ...
As for the view used on this page hidden link is the View ID=287.

[Noman]

Hello,

Thank you for providing View ID, I am still working on this issue and get to you soon with an update.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello Bochnacki,

I have been trying to get it work and change but its seems its not easily possible to change it. It may needs custom coding to make it happen. I am closing my day here and I will be on public holidays for 4 days in coming week. It may have something to do with the custom shortcode that Minesh added in your site, so if you really want him to look into this, then please reply here so that @minesh can see if he can do something in this case in my absence.

Thank you for your understanding

[Bochnacki]

Noman, thank you.
If Minesh can help, it's great. If not, then the solution to this problem can wait.

We can display the links as - following will need little change:
=> hidden link
=> hidden link

But if you want to display the author profile as:
=> hidden link

Then you need to customize it you need to follow the following Doc:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/creating-custom-user-profiles/

[Bochnacki]

https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/creating-custom-user-profiles/ - Unfortunately this solution is not possible in my case.

hidden link - How can I get this effect?
I understand that changing shrtcode is not enough, right?

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> format="meta" meta='ID']">[types usermeta='nickname' user_is_author='true'][/types]</a>

For example, for this:

<a href="<em><u>hidden link</u></em> format="meta" meta='nickname']">[types usermeta='nickname' user_is_author='true'][/types]</a>

On the screen "dealer-view.jpg" you can see the set of the View "Dealer".

[Minesh]

So - as I understand you would like to go will the following approach - correct?:
=> hidden link

[Bochnacki]

Yes.
Although I admit that I would like to remove "?author_id=" from the address 🙂

[Minesh]

Well - its not possible to remove author_id as it holds the author name value - if you want we can change author_id to author_name.

[Bochnacki]

Well. Let's "author_name".

[Minesh]

Well - I just checked that you removed the conditional shortcode from the dealter's page - why?

Now - I do not see two views added to yoru dealer's page:
=> hidden link
=> hidden link

I've shared the code in your privous ticket.

Could you please be consistant with your requirement - is your requirments is changed?
