WordPress MU

Hi guys, got a challenging question for you :)

How do you link the Commentators name to his/her main blog.

I.e., instead of <?php comment_author_link() ?> in comments.php, show a link to his/her active blog?

Would appreciate any help.

commentators don't always have blogs on your MU, So you should encourage them to update their profile properly. Add it to signup maybe ?

yeah, but you cant rely on users in this :)

it would be nice if the function could check if a user has a blog or not and then display the link to it like this one:

get_active_blog_for_user($current_user->ID);

If they are logged in when they leave a comment, it shows their blog.

Dunno why it's not doing it for you.

hmm, really? in my case the function <?php comment_author_link() ?> just shows the link that they put in their profiles...

What theme you using?

I put a message in the dashboard that nags them to update their profiles and what not. It seems to work.

Thats the easiest way to do it until your users realize that they need to promote their blog. Can't hand hold them for everything :D

that too. :D

2 andrea: im creating my own theme, thats why... :)

2 Klarko: saw your cariblogger, really really liked it, among all the crappy websites on wpmu out there, yours stands out... :)

maka1, you can look at any standard theme to see how they handle a logged in user when generating the comment form. Usually instead of having the name+mail+site fields you see only something like "you are logged in as xxx".
