I'm trying to set up a site like chickspeak.com, and it's going well except I can't get a profile page.
It's not exactly like Chick Speak, and actually, I don't see a page where any of the "questionnaire" info I filled in is displayed.
First of all, it's not just a blog site and it's not just a social site, it's going to be more plus photo galleries. Really a community site.
Not everyone is going to publish blog entries, so using author.php isn't working. And I'd want the "author" from the URL removed, but I tried editing that in includes/rewrite.php and in a subdomain, /author/ still worked, but on the main install, a link to /base/myuserword/admin led to an error page.
When I do use a page with author, but no post information, $curauth->nickname; (which I got from a WP doc) displays nothing. (That's all the code in there now, and it just displays the theme with "'s Profile".)
I'd like a uniform URL structure for every user, a profile for non-bloggers, and no posts on this page.
I've seen no information on this, somehow. I do have an extra fields profile plugin, but it doesn't come with a page to display the fields.
Thanks so much for any help.
