It seems like such an oversight

something as simple as making sure the thumbnail and username int he latest comment module can be clicked and direct someone to that users social account they commented with

but sadly for some unknown reason it is not being implemented…

i can clearly see in the jos_users table of the Joomla Database the Social Link information is stored in the “Params” field for the User

but since its stored along so many other pieces of information….you would need to write a script just to get it out of there

i got creative realizing i only use twitter and facebook for commenting

and i wrote some code to strip the email address and turn it into a url

$userwebsite = $item->email;
if (strpos($userwebsite, "_Twitter") != false){
$item ->finalwebsite = 'http://Twitter.com/'.str_replace('_Twitter', '', $userwebsite);
}else{
$item ->finalwebsite = 'http://Facebook.com/'.str_replace('_Facebook', '', $userwebsite);
};
$item->finalwebsite3 = str_replace('@oticedmedia.com', '', $item->finalwebsite);
$item->finalwebsite2 = str_replace('@getnoticedmedia.com', '', $item->finalwebsite3);

but this only works for the Twitter usernames that happen to share an identical email address int he jos_users table with their account username

facebook there is no easy workaround….

Can Some Brave PHP Genius accomplish what the developers have Overlooked or Simply ignored….and add the Vital feature of loading a users website!

If you have a solution email me….lets work together and fix this Helper.Php file!
