Quick Ipb Question

In the html whats the code for a username?

Like displayed in each posts, 'Donate Credits' how itll say:
http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php...ate_money&name=

Whats the code to fill out the 'name=' with whoever posted? I have tried just about everything I can possibly think of without looking into the php files and have had no luck.

 

Check the IPB Help Topic, it explains it all there...

I'll do it if you still can't manage

 

I think the code you are looking for is the following:

Code:

[url="http://www.siteurl.com/index.php?act=Store&Code=donate_money&name={$author['author_name']}"]Send Credits[/url]

I hope this helps.

 

Edit:

Oh yeah, and to add it so it automatically fills the name in...

I beleive the code to add at the end of that link above was "&name={$post['author']}"

 

i have that code there.

Putting the base code in there wasnt the problem, i am having a problem knowing what comes after 'name=' to make it dynamic based on whoever posted.

it should be something like {ipb.lang['membername']} or something along those lines (just an example)

 

Yeha, i almost forgot that part. I edited my post, the answer's in theree

 

That was my initial thought, however, using '{$author['author_name']}' gives the board URL to the member's profile, not the members name...

the code '{$post['author']}' doesnt work...

 

Try {$author['name']} then or {$post['name']}

 

Thank you

{$post['name']} worked.

You may want to have BFTP add that to his 'Donate Credit' section of his FAQ.
