I was working on setting up my fork of the Custom Profile Link Component, and I needed two for different site links. However, currently, only users who have a username set for both sites show up. How can I ensure that both show up regardless of whether the other copy works or not?

Honestly, it might not be the data-template, but that’s what I guessed it might be from looking at it for a bit.

I’m not fully grasping what you are doing but perhaps it’s because you are writing to the same handlebars template twice rather than once (with two fields)?

can you not use one template? should be able to setup two fields on it, unless I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do. Did you get one link field to work? If you did, that’s great :slight_smile:

[image] Lillian : can you not use one template? One of the templates is for the user card, the other is for the user profile, so I don’t think so. [image] Lillian : Did you get one link field to work? If you did, that’s great :slight_smile: It works when one of two conditions are met: You have two copies, two fields and the user you’re viewing has both names filled out You have one copy, one field, and the user you’re viewing has the name filled out

[image] Firepup Sixfifty: One of the templates is for the user card, the other is for the user profile, so I don’t think so. oh ok, I misunderstood, I figured you were putting 2 different links on the user card. Now it makes sense. yea two templates.

[image] Lillian : I figured you were putting 2 different links on the user card. I am, in a way, since I’m using one per copy of the Theme Component, which I suspect to be the root of the problem. I could be wrong about that though.

I fed that chunk of code into Lola bot with no context and here was her reply:

Are you saying that you forked the theme and then include your fork and the original one? You’ll need to change all of the references to it’s variables and the id passed to modify class.

The original no longer functioned properly on Discourse, so I created a fork and revised it until it worked. At this time, I’ve installed two copies of my fork, which seem to be conflicting with each other.

Sounds like you’re on the right path.

I can never remember and Google “handlebars for loop” and find examples.
