 |
|
What's the correct way to add "AIM Name" as an option in the comment form?
(IE: Name, Email, URL, AIM, Comment - So when another viewer or myself read the comments they can click on the person's AIM name just like they do for email and url) |

<?php the_author_aim() ?>
This goes in the b2-loop, naturally.
More the_author stuff (from the readme) :
| Quote: | <?php the_author_email() ?> - the author's email.
<?php the_author_url() ?> - the author's url.
<?php the_author_email() ?> - the author's number of posts.
<?php the_author_icq() ?> - the author's ICQ number.
<?php the_author_aim() ?> - the author's AIM handle.
<?php the_author_yim() ?> - the author's Yahoo Messenger handle.
<?php the_author_msn() ?> - the author's MSN Messenger handle.
<?php the_author_posts() ?> - the author's post count.
<?php the_author_login() ?> - the author's login name in b2. If you want some static data about the author, this is what you're searching for. You can, for example, associate a picture with an author, like this: <img src="pictures/<?php the_author_login() ?>.jpg" border="0">
<?php the_author_ID() ?> - the author's ID number in b2. This number is automatically set when the user registers: to see the ID of an user, go to the Team page. This is static data too, so you can use it like the_author_login() in associating stuff with authors.

Sorry, I misunderstood:p
Now, this is a bit more complicated. You'd probably need another table in your db to do this, because it isn't simple GET or SEND info, but stuff that's going to the db.. PM Stevem.

Well, I can't guarantee you anything, but Stevem is a decent fella with a slight weak spot for b2 users and developing issues, so it doesn't hurt asking him politely. I've bothered him many times with my petty problems, and he's always turned out to give a working solution:)
