Im trying to think my head off what i need to do that i can add a automatic link to weblog entry that generates two things:
If logged in-link (this i did right and it works)
if logged out-link to custom profilepage. This is dont get what i need to do to get it working automaticly.

Example:
I create new entry, ok! in the bottom of that entry comes a buttonlink to my profile what shows when im logged in and what redirects me to my profile.

But when im logged out, i dont want to show my profilepage so i made this template called “memberinfo” for those who arent logged in.

What do i need to put into tags that it will generate proper link to my custom profilepage “memberinfo”, or my moderators profile who has different id and so on.

Please, can you light me up with this, thanks!

I’m not following.

When you are not logged in, and you are viewing weblog entries through a template, you want a link to the author’s profile page? Or what exactly?

Yes i know my english =)

I do mean that when im not logged in (or some visitor who even has no own account) and viewing a weblog entry that i/she/he sees this button called “author info” and by clicking that i/she/he is pointed to this page called “memberinfo”. So far hopefully you follow?

I need answer to this: what code i need to put into that code that it can handle 2 different way how to work when submitting new entry.

One is “if logged in” and this i have done and it works. It shows the button and linking to normal profilepage with the profile of the entry author.

Second is “if logged out” and this is my problem. I dont want it to link to normal profilepage. i need it to point to this template that i have done and its called “memberinfo”.

What codes i need to my weblogtemplate that it can pick up the right author in my memberinfopage and generates the button pointing to “memberinfo” with the right author info(location, 1 custom field, screenname and bio)?

I hope you understand me and sorry about my not-so-good english!

tuittu, can you post what code you have so far? I suppose you know about {if logged_in} and {if logged_out}, but I am a little hazy about your ultimate goal.

i dont have any if logged out cos i really dont know what to put there.

but here is the logged in code:

I just want to get the right code what understand to get the right id from entry poster and parses the right link to the different template called “memberinfo” what is shown to all visitors.

Normal profilepage does not appear to visitors.

Well, what would you like to go there? Give us an example, perhaps.

I just want to get the right code what understand to get the right id from entry poster and parses the right link to the different template called “memberinfo” what is shown to all visitors.

I don’t understand. Since this is obviously not a technical issue, however, I am moving this thread to “Howto”.

i Simply am a)stupid or b)dont see the answer =) but im just after a solution that redirects visitor to “memberinfo” page instead of profilepage. and looking after a code what knows to pick the right id of entry submitter. ( example: {site_url}memberinfo/1/ )

In general, you can do something like this:

Assuming your memberinfo template “knows” what do do with the author_id, I’d use that.

So perhaps

I’d have the memberinfo/show template be a single entry template that you use a query to pull back info based on the member_id which is passed in segment_3.

Does that help?

Heh. That simple again. Conclusion: im stupid =)

Thank you very much!
