trying to figure out the proper way to code a change to a link.

 

So the current code is:

	<a href='{$member->url()}' data-searchable>

What I would like is to add this to the end of the url "/&tab=field_core_pfield_31"

 

But thus far every attempt I made has ignored what was added. Appreciate any help you can offer

Something like:

<a href='{$member->url()->setQueryString( 'tab', 'field_core_pfield_31' )}'>

NOT TESTED.

unfortunately it ignored it too 

 

thanks though

Ignored what? There's nothing wrong with the provided link. 

it didn't work for some reason.

What I am trying to do is change a link from the main profile page to the page that has the About Me as the active tab.

So I want to add to the profile link. When I use this it ignores the added characters and uses the original link.

Basically instead of it linking to:

site/index.php?/profile/383-derrick-mason-gray/

I want it to link to:

site/index.php?/profile/383-derrick-mason-gray/&tab=field_core_pfield_31


using you link it still links to:
site/index.php?/profile/383-derrick-mason-gray/

for some reason.

This is the exact code I am trying to update:

				<a href='{$member->url()}' data-searchable>
					{template="userLink" app="core" group="global" params="$member"}
				</a>

 

Do you mean ?tab instead of &tab....

don't think so - when you look at the link for a profile page when you are on the About Me tab the link is &tab

@Zephers

OK.  Must be talking about different part of the site.  This is my link for the profile tab .......r.com/profile/1-admin/?tab=field_core_pfield_1

Are you sure you don't have some other queries before the the "tab="   You need to have a ? right after profile/ to start the query. 

If you have multiple queries you could have ?something=xxx&tab=field_core....

Sorry if I'm pointing out basic URL stuff if I'm not understanding what you are trying to do.

Might be me not explaining well

so on here my profile link is this:

https://invisionpower.com/profile/531843-zephers/

But if I look at my About me tab my profile link becomes:

https://invisionpower.com/profile/531843-zephers/?tab=field_core_pfield_23

So here you see a ?tab. But on my site when I do the same two links my profile and then my profile using the About Me tab as active the two links are:

http://mysite.com/index.php?/profile/1-zeph/

then 

http://mysite.com/index.php?/profile/1-zeph/&tab=field_core_pfield_31

 

OK.  This is beyond me.   I have no idea how you have &tab in the URL you are showing.  It has to be ? to work.  But there is a ? earlier that makes no sense to me.  Maybe has something to do with friendly URL mapping.  Not sure at this point.

Sorry.

So here is a weird thing. If I change the & to a ? in my link it still works. But if you naturally navigate to the about me page it is the &

So I guess in theory if I have the ? it should still work.

Which brings me back to how do I change the below code to include the /?tab=field_core_pfield_31

<a href='{$member->url()}' data-searchable>
					{template="userLink" app="core" group="global" params="$member"}
				</a>

 

 

So as was posted by Adriano above, this does what you want if you have $member in the template...

<a href='{$member->url()->setQueryString( 'tab', 'field_core_pfield_17' )}'>link</a>

That generates ...de/index.php?/profile/1-name/&tab=field_core_pfield_17 on my site which works.  

 

so it doesn't work but I think its because I am putting it into the search template so the coded string is overriding.

 

I think I need to edit the userlink template to make this happen but this one is beyond me:

{{if $member->member_id AND \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->canAccessModule( \IPS\Application\Module::get( 'core', 'members' ) ) }}<a href='{{if $warningRef}}{$member->url()->setQueryString( 'wr', $warningRef )}{{else}}{$member->url()}{{endif}}' data-ipsHover data-ipsHover-target='{$member->url()->setQueryString( array( 'do' => 'hovercard', 'wr' => $warningRef, 'referrer' => urlencode( \IPS\Request::i()->url() ) ) )}' title="{lang="view_user_profile" sprintf="$member->name"}" class="ipsType_break">{{if $groupFormatting && $member->group['prefix']}}{$member->group['prefix']|raw}{{endif}}{$member->name}{{if $groupFormatting && $member->group['suffix']}}{$member->group['suffix']|raw}{{endif}}</a>{{else}}{{if $groupFormatting && $member->group['prefix']}}{$member->group['prefix']|raw}{{endif}}{$member->name}{{if $groupFormatting && $member->group['suffix']}}{$member->group['suffix']|raw}{{endif}}{{endif}}
