Its not a link now, and I want it to link to their profile as others would see it, not their usercp. How can I do this?

Edit your global language file inc/languages/english/global.lang.php

Find (around line 34):

$l['welcome_back'] = "<strong>Welcome back, {1}</strong>. You last visited: {2}";

Replace with:

$l['welcome_back'] = "<strong>Welcome back, <a href=\"./member.php?action=profile\">{1}</a></strong>. You last visited: {2}";

Sorry but this doesnt work

I think you need to do:

/member.php?action=profile&uid=<UID# HERE>

No?

What is the corresponding {#} for a user's UID?

How does it not work? If you visit http://community.mybb.com/member.php?action=profile it shows your profile as others would see it.

Oh, okay, so you are right about that. But when I copied and pasted what you posted above into my global language file the name doesn't still doesn't show up as a link. Did you try this on your page?

Did you replace the original language variable with the one I provided?

Don't do ./ in the URL's, as MyBB doesn't like it when you do that

Line 34, global.lang.php:

$l['welcome_back'] = "<strong>Welcome back, {1}</strong>. You last visited: {2}";

Change to:

$l['welcome_back'] = "<strong>Welcome back, <a href=\"{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/member.php?action=profile&uid={$mybb->user['uid']}\">{1}</strong>. You last visited: {2}";

May not be correct though.

That will not work since $mybb isn't defined.

Remember, this is the language file, and these language strings are called elsewhere in other files where it is defined. I will test this on a localhost install some time to see if it'll work.

Well I tried it myself and it didn't work. They may have been defined, but when the files are getting "included", they may have not yet been defined, I don't know. Did you try it?
