{mod request} Need help with LJ code link

Hm, if all you want is the image (and not an image link and then text link — as is usual with LJ) then you could just use CSS to define a class. Set it as the background and off you go? :3

Or is that not what you want?

I wanted it to work similar to an lj link. A specialized link that when posted comes with it own image and text link.

I have what I think I want but I can't figure out how to implement it properly.

<?php
function ljuser($arg) {
echo("<a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=$arg"><im g" src="" http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif "" alt="[info]" width="17" height="17" border="0" align="bottom"/></a><a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/users/$arg"><b>$arg</b></a>") ;"
}
function ljcomm($arg) {
echo("<a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=$arg"><im g" src="" http://stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif "" alt="[info]" width="17" height="17" border="0" align="bottom"/></a><a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/community/$arg"><b>$arg</b></a>") ;"
}
?>

Which, I assume goes into the header.php then

<?php ljuser("name");?> for a user, or <?php ljcomm("name");?>

add in your php page. It works if I make a custom page but how can I convert this for adding as a link to my story notes? And if I could ask separate one for girls and boys images since I wanted to have my own images and have three (Link for user girls, boys and community) but two will work if that's what I can get.

so basically you'd need to base the image to use on the gender field set by the user in their profile?

I'd recommend saving the LJ info files to your own server ... and to distinguish boy from girl:

<?php
function ljuser($arg,$gen) {
echo("<a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=$arg"><im g" src="" http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif "" alt="[info]" width="17" height="17" border="0" align="bottom"/></a><a href="" http://www.livejournal.com/users/$arg"><b>$arg</b></a>") ;"
}

<?php ljuser("Jenny","female"); ?>

... for example.

Then place $gen for wherever you want it in the code.

Thanks Jenny, but unless I am getting it plain wrong, I think you'll need to talk to me like I'm an idiot because I don't think that's what I meant though it solved another problem in the meantime.  This seems to work in just code but I was hoping that there was a transition on the user and comm links to put into the story notes 😐

I think what this guy on wordpress did here might be a clue. http://wiki.wordpress.org/?pagename=LJMacrofier&PHPSESSID=dee32b52c7df24d2310d91d5

Jacynthe, I'm the only one on this archive, I was using as an example but it seemed similar to what I wanted.

I wanted to create a short link similar to what LJ uses for users and community but a version of it to work  in the story notes, summary, end chapter notes and the like but when I add this link in the chapter notes I wanted the code to say "Oh the person is on Livejournal" and then pull the image and link and post with what I have similar to http://samemmetales.fannish.org/viewstory.php?sid=62 here with the little icon and name in the notes.

Confusing... 🙂

So I'm guessing you should get the zip for that hack... upload lj-macrofy.php in your eFiction folder... and inside stories.php, you should include

include_once("lj-macrofy.php");

below

include("includes/storyform.php");

... I suppose.

But no idea where you should add the add_filter... or even if that would work. *scratches head*

I could try but that post is over four years old...

yeah I saw that and WordPress is not coded like eFiction so this may not even work...
