Currently only the user’s name in the directory list links to the their profile page. Is it possible to make the user’s image also link to to their profile page?

Sorry, no, nothing that can be done via point and click. Only “Links” can be assigned to the image and logo. I guess you could add a “Link” that is the entries profile page and assign it to the image or logo. I’ve never done it, but I see no reason why it’ll wouldn’t work. The only other way to do it would be to edit the template code.

Hi Steve,

Awesome plugin, just doing some in-depth learning how to use it by reading through your nearly 9000 posts ;)

I second Erik’s request for how to make the logo a link to the profile page — it’s where I immediately want to click, and I’d imagine that most of my users are going to think the same thing. If this is possible, where would we do so in the template code?

As a side note, I’ve noticed that you often refer to Code Snippets plugin — is there a way to use that to create a snippet that would do the same thing as editing the template code, and thus be “safe-ish” when updating to new versions of the template?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Almost 9000… I expect to be over 10000 by end of year!

Yes this could easily be done in the template code. The only “gotcha” would be if someone assigned a link to either the image or logo by accident. You would end of a link within a link which would be invalid.

I think the code would be like this (untested):

$href  = $entry->getPermalink();
$image = $entry->getImage( array( 'return' => true ) );

printf( '<a href="%1$s">%2$s</a>', $href, $image );

Unfortunately, after looking at my code, the necessary filters do not exist so that this could be done with the Code Snippets plugin. The make this update “safe-ish” you could follow the instructions in this QuickTip.

Hope that helps!
