where do you want the link to category view of default template?

You have added there a created by column?

I want to use link user, becase user will submit articles and other users can go to the profil of Author and Vote for him.

I use default template for now and yes - i use field "Created by" but i want the info e.g. to be Link. Late will be change, but i want to make functionalities first.

Sorry for my English :oops:

Yes i asked about where you want to put the link, in item view (= shows a single item)? in category view (=shows many items)? elsewhere?

Also when you say user profile, do you mean the user contact page? Because the user profile (my details/my profile stuff) is viewable by the user him-herself , not by everyone.

To link to contact info/form page of the users IF IT EXISTS for each user:

edit your category_items.php file of the default template (better duplicate the template and then replace) and

replace lines:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>
	<td><?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?></td>
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF item fields -->

with the following lines:

Code:

<!-- BOF item fields -->
<?php foreach ($columns as $name => $label) : ?>

	<?php
	$link='';
	$link_title='';
	if ($name=='created_by') {
		$query = "SELECT id FROM #__contact_details WHERE user_id=". $item->created_by;
		$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
		$db->setQuery($query);
		$contact_id = $db->loadResult();
		if ($contact_id) {
			$link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id='.$contact_id);
			$link_title = JText::_('Contact Details');
		}
	}
	?>
	
	<td>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "<a href='$link' alt=='$link_title'>" : ""; ?>
		<?php echo isset($item->positions['table']->{$name}->display) ? $item->positions['table']->{$name}->display : ''; ?>
		<?php echo ($link) ? "" : ""; ?>
	</td>
	
<?php endforeach; ?>
<!-- EOF item fields -->

This will create links to the contact form of the user if his/her contacts exists.

Does community builder have a similar page?
In my old version i checked to create a menu item to contact/form/details, it did not have a menu item, only a personal profile.

If i get time to install new version i will check.
