Creating link to author page

Hi Richard, most likely you would require a custom function for this.

function display_author_link_by_id($user_id, $ptype) {
   $author_link = get_author_posts_url( $user_id );
   $listing_link = geodir_getlink( $author_link, array( 'stype' => $ptype ), false );
   echo $listing_link;
}

You need to use code like this wherever you need that link.

<?php display_author_link_by_id(1, 'gd_place'); ?>

Hi Richard,

I think you can use my previous code with your code.

add_filter('geodir_dashboard_links','_my_dashboard_links',10);
function _my_dashboard_links($dash_links){
        $author_link = get_author_posts_url( $user_id );
        $listing_link = geodir_getlink( $author_link, array( 'stype' => $ptype ), false );
	$dash_links .= "<li><a href='".listing_link."'>Edit or Upgrade Your Listing</a></li>";
	return $dash_links;
}

Let me know how that goes.
