(In Rente) Link-Benutzername zum externen Profil

Let’s say you want to add a link of User’s main profile page on Discourse user profile page and user card, clicking on that link will take user to main (external) website.

The link of main website user profile page will be like:

http://site.com/username

Where username is the Discourse username of that user. (It should be same on both main site and Discourse forum)

Let’s get started!

Add custom CSS

Paste this CSS code in Admin > Customize > CSS/HTML > CSS section:

#user-card .metadata h3 {
  float: left;
}

h3.user-card-public-field {
 clear: both;   
}

Add custom JS

Paste this JS code in Admin > Customize > CSS/HTML > </head> section:

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.7">
    api.registerConnectorClass('user-profile-primary', 'site-link', {
      setupComponent(args, component) {
        component.set('siteLink', args.model.get('siteLink'));
      }
    });

    api.registerConnectorClass('user-card-metadata', 'site-link', {
      setupComponent(args, component) {
        component.set('siteLink', args.user.get('siteLink'));
      }
    });

    api.modifyClass('model:user', {
      siteLink: function() {
          const username = this.get('username');

          if (username) {
              const url = `http://site.com/${username}`;
              const link = `<a href=${url} target='_blank'>${url}</a>`;

              return Ember.Object.create({ link, name: "User Profile" });
          } else {
              return null;
          }
      }.property('username')
    });
</script>

<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='/connectors/user-profile-primary/site-link'>
  {{#if siteLink}}
    <div class="public-user-fields">
      <div class="public-user-field">
        <span class="user-field-name">{{siteLink.name}}</span>:
        <span class="user-field-value">{{{siteLink.link}}}</span>
      </div>
    </div>
  {{/if}}
</script>

<script type='text/x-handlebars' data-template-name='/connectors/user-card-metadata/site-link'>
  {{#if siteLink}}
    <h3 class="user-card-public-field">
      <span class="user-field-name">{{siteLink.name}}</span>:
      <span class="user-field-value">{{{siteLink.link}}}</span>
    </h3>
  {{/if}}
</script>

Update:

const url = `http://site.com/${username}`;

with your website user profile link.

Voilà :tada:

That’s it, you will now see user Profile link on user profile page:

and user card:

Okay, added images in OP.

Dear Arpit, does this approach really update userfield siteLink?
We used it “as is” and siteLink in empty under user/preferences siteLink although it is visible over user card
thx

You mean user “Web Site”, right?

No, the code in first post does not update user Website field. It just adds a link of main/external user profile on user page and user card.

Sorry for the newbie question, but could someone post example code for if external_id was used as opposed to username?

I have single sign on enabled, and it shows the proper External ID at the bottom of the admin interface of the user account.

Any chance this example could get an update? Apparently it will not work, since api.container.lookupFactory is a private API and will break stuff :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I asked the same a long time ago. You’d have to write a plugin that exposes external_id - I asked recently if it had become enabled, since they changed a lot of stuff, but haven’t received an answer, so I guess it still requires a plugin…

Okay, I updated the code in first post to use api.modifyClass instead of api.container.lookupFactory.

@techAPJ, this code is great. I want to make one small tweak and perhaps you know… how can I get the external_id at the end of the URL (i.e. const url = 'http://site.com/${external_id}')? I tried changing the code to pull external_id from the user object but it says that property is undefined.

Dieser Code ist veraltet, können Sie ihn bitte aktualisieren? Ich habe versucht, ihn anzupassen, aber es hat nicht funktioniert.

[Admin-Hinweis] Eines oder mehrere Ihrer Plugins oder Theme-Komponenten müssen aktualisiert werden, da sie mit Discourse 3.2 inkompatibel sind.
Weitere Informationen finden Sie in der Communiteq Wissensdatenbank.
Details: [THEME 1 ‘Default’] Funktionsprototyperweiterungen sind veraltet, bitte migrieren Sie von function(){}.property(‘bar’) zu computed(‘bar’, function() {}).

Es scheint, dass dies einer anderen Anleitung sehr ähnlich ist. Wie bei dieser sind die im OP vorgeschlagenen Strategien extrem veraltet. Das Beste, was wir tun können, ist, die Funktionalität in eine Git-verwaltete Theme-Komponente zu integrieren, damit die Leute keinen Code kopieren und einfügen müssen.

Wir prüfen, ob wir eine offizielle Theme component erstellen können, die beide Anwendungsfälle abdeckt, und werden beide Themen aktualisieren, wenn sie fertig sind.
