please help

Nirmalya,

>I just wanted to know how can I get a link on my sidebar that would show the user's photos?

I am not sure what you mean, but this kind of link already exists on "My Profile" page. Please see screen shot attached. Let me know if you meant something else.

Hi,

I'm looking to do this too.

The screenshot you give Aliia, shows latest photos across the site. I think Nirmalya and I are looking for a way to pass the username variable - so that each user gets taken to their own photos/albums.

Edit. The 'Quick Link' widget on the Prefs page seems to do this?

Cheers

Matt

Ya Matt, I want something like that. Just a link (like that in the Quick Link) to do that!

Nirmalya, if you would like to have a link to "My Albums" for example on your main page, then you can add a Custom Text/HTML widget.

1.You will need to use $GET method to retrieve "username" variable into your <a-href> link.  I recommend googling how this method can be used in html.

2.Once you are done with creating an html link, you can just post it into the "Content" field of  Custom Text/HTML widget.

I'm not making progress on my syntax.... but assuming we need to get the $username variable...

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['username']; ?>"

<a href="/photo/useralbums/?username">My Photos</a>

hmmmmm

Needs more work.  Any tips?

Hiya, I'm still struggling to a make this work in the HTML widget?

Any tips please?

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['username']; ?>"

<a href="path/to/oxwall/photo/useralbums/?username=<?php echo $username; ?>">My Albums</a>

Matt, unfortunately I can not give exact instructions on how the code should be build since I am not a developer myself. May be other members have a solution to this.

No probs :) I am not a developer either, but a community organizer :)  The questions was for anyone reading? So anyone got a solution for my code snippet? As you can see, I am trying to learn - so any help, much appreciated.

Madam,

Can you please tell me which file I need to modify to modify the quick links, that shows beside the newsfeed?

I think if I could have a look at it, then I could create another quick link for the "my profile" section.

Thank you.

Nirmalya,

1. quick_links.php  under ow_system_plugins/base/components
2. quick_links.html under ow_system_plugins/base/views/components

Looking to modify the Quick Links widget, I done a search and there is no quick_links.html, there is however a quick_links_widget.html and that is not what I need to modify/Hide My Videos link..

ow_plugins/video/init.php

find this function and comment it

function video_quick_links( BASE_CLASS_EventCollector $event ){    $service = VIDEO_BOL_ClipService::getInstance();    $userId = OW::getUser()->getId();    $username = OW::getUser()->getUserObject()->getUsername();
    $clipCount = (int) $service->findUserClipsCount($userId);
    if ( $clipCount > 0 )    {        $event->add(array(            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_LABEL => OW::getLanguage()->text('video', 'my_video'),            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_URL => OW::getRouter()->urlForRoute('video_user_video_list', array('user' => $username)),            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_COUNT => $clipCount,            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_COUNT_URL => OW::getRouter()->urlForRoute('video_user_video_list', array('user' => $username))        ));    }}OW::getEventManager()->bind(BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::EVENT_NAME, 'video_quick_links');

Topic was moved from General Questions.

Thank you, removed from the function as follows:

function video_quick_links( BASE_CLASS_EventCollector $event )
{
    $service = VIDEO_BOL_ClipService::getInstance();
    $userId = OW::getUser()->getId();
    $username = OW::getUser()->getUserObject()->getUsername();

    $clipCount = (int) $service->findUserClipsCount($userId);

    if ( $clipCount > 0 )
    {
        $event->add(array(
            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_LABEL => OW::getLanguage()->text('video', 'my_video'),
            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_URL => OW::getRouter()->urlForRoute('video_user_video_list', array('user' => $username)),
            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_COUNT => $clipCount,
            BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::DATA_KEY_COUNT_URL => OW::getRouter()->urlForRoute('video_user_video_list', array('user' => $username))
        ));
    }
}
OW::getEventManager()->bind(BASE_CMP_QuickLinksWidget::EVENT_NAME, 'video_quick_links');
