Install this theme component
A small component to add a customisable link on the user profile.
Shows onā¦
The expanded user profile
The usercard
Settings
If you leave profile custom link field
empty, it will default using the username, so in the example case it would go to
http://github.com/charlie
If you want to use a custom user input field, you have to set the value to the exact name of the userfield, example:
Create the user field
Set setting to user field name
Have users fill out the field
/u/[username]/preferences/profile
Now it will go to http://github.com/MyRealGithubName
For a more advanced implementation, take a look at the Multiple Custom Profile Links component

Does this get ānofollowā? Will it be sent akismet?
This is definitely going to be used by spammers!

Charlie:
http://github/com/
Just a quick nitpick, that should be http://github.com/
, right?
Also, any particular reason why this suggests http GitHub instead of https?

Hey @chapoi ! So glad I found this component. Iāve just added to our forum, thanks! I might even switch to the āmultiple linkā version.
Quick note: there is an extra ātheā in the description text below the āprofile custom link iconā field
Is there a specific reason I have to add a component for this, instead of adding another field type for the User Fields?
Cheers

Nice catch. This should tidy it up:
discourse:main
ā discourse:setting-desc.-edit

Iām not sure I follow the question. User fields arenāt all automatically shown on the profile or usercard.

Hey Charlie,
sorry for not being clearer. It would be great if there was a field type for user fields, that allows links instead of just text.
Or are we utilising User Fields all wrong? Here is how we are using them right now:
Links have to be copy-pasted instead of just being clickable.

Ok now I follow, thanks!
Yeah, thatās actually a fair point you bring up. Iāll look into the possibility of your suggestion; my guess is that there is a reason why that wasnāt done, but I donāt know atm.

So, I had a look but the necessary changes are way above my designer skills (read: backend databas-y stuff) ā so Iām afraid it will be necessary to use the plugin.
An option you could consider is making a feature request , and seeing if that garners more interest.
Cheers!

This solution is great and I hope we can help improve it. Our profile link is of the form āhttps://www.domain.com/user/[USER-ID]/ ā. The trailing slash wrecks the solution for us. I can add a URL rewrite but a better solution would be to make the code more adaptive. I want working real links back to the site!
I tried to convert the plugin to a theme so I could improve the javascript but that CONVERT Discourse function doesnāt seem to be working.
Can you make the update so that it adds functionality?
import Component from "@glimmer/component";
import { tracked } from "@glimmer/tracking";
import { service } from "@ember/service";
export default class ProfileCustomLink extends Component {
@service site;
@tracked customLinkUrl;
@tracked customLinkFieldId;
@tracked showCustomLink = false;
@tracked user = this.args.model.username;
@tracked userFields = this.args.model.user_fields;
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
if (settings.profile_custom_link_field) {
const siteUserFields = this.site.user_fields;
if (!siteUserFields) {
return;
}
const customLinkField = siteUserFields.filterBy(
"name",
settings.profile_custom_link_field
)[0];
if (!customLinkField) {
return;
}
this.customLinkFieldId = this.userFields[customLinkField.id];
if (!this.customLinkFieldId) {
return;
} else {
this.showCustomLink = true;
if (settings.profile_custom_link_prefix.includes("[CUSTOM-LINK-FIELD-ID]")) {
const url = settings.profile_custom_link_prefix.replace("[CUSTOM-LINK-FIELD-ID]", this.customLinkFieldId);
this.customLinkUrl = url;
} else {
const url = settings.profile_custom_link_prefix + this.customLinkFieldId;
this.customLinkUrl = url;
}
}
} else {
const url = settings.profile_custom_link_prefix + this.user;
this.customLinkUrl = url;
this.showCustomLink = true;
}
}
}
@Julian2 I have just posted a feature request for this here, didnāt see your posts on this topic
