Profile option to link to a profile on another website

All my forum's members have an account on a specific website that we all use-- our Forumotion is an extension of that website specifically for our club.

Each user on our Forumotion forum has filled in a required profile option called "Spore username (case sensitive)" which I added prior to anyone registering. Now what I'd like to do is have this profile option display as a link-- that way, instead of

Spore username: schnautzr

you see

Spore username: schnautzr

The usernames are case sensitive, but I don't think that will matter for whoever writes this script.

Thanks in advance!

Hey schnautzr, i know of a way to make this possible but it requires a little work and isn't ideal. hopefully someone will come along with a better solution for you but this is the way i would do it.

Firstly set up a text zone type profile field, as shown here.



this is the main requirement all other settings are upto you.

once set up you will have an an edit box that accepts bbcode as shown here

members profile page:


Admin members profile page:


however this is where you may want to think of your settings as having new members putting in the bbcode maybe a bit of an ask but then you could put full instruction in the discription box.

the code that needs entering is

Code:

[url=http://www.spore.com/view/profile/USERNAME]USERNAME[/url]

the end result is

members profile page (with spore icon):


post info (Spore icon removed):
.

Hope this is of some use to you.

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! I was able to tweak a code to do it when I used Proboards...hopefully someone here can come up with a similar code.

In the meantime, I'll do as you said-- advise users to include bbcode to create a hyperlink.

Anyone have any idea how to do this in a cleaner manner?
