How can I get the current user's url from db

Hello,

I want to put a large button on the front page of my wpmu/buddypress site that will take the current user to their url.

How do I write the code to use the current user’s url?

You will probably want something like this:

<a href="<?php echo bloginfo('home'); ?>/<?php echo BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ?>/<?php the_author(); ?>"><?php bp_post_author_avatar(); ?></a>

Thank you so much for the help.

I tried it, but all of those refer to the main blog page (which is the page this is on)

I want them to go to their front page so I need something to get the logged in user’s url

Any other ideas?

Oh, so let me make sure I understand. You want the url to redirect them to their blog’s front page?

Hmm, I am going to have to research that.

Here is what I use, it is a bit more advanced:

<?php

if (is_user_logged_in()) {

global $userdata;

get_currentuserinfo();

echo '<ul id="logged-in">

<li>Welcome <a title="Edit Profile" href="'.get_option('home').'/wp-admin/profile.php">'.$userdata->display_name.'</a>!</li>';

if ($userdata->primary_blog) {

echo '<li><a href="'.get_blog_option($userdata->primary_blog, 'home').'/wp-admin/" title="Administer Your Website">Site Administration</a></li>

<li><a href="'.get_blog_option($userdata->primary_blog, 'home').'" title="'.htmlentities(get_blog_option($userdata->primary_blog, 'blogdescription')).'">View Your Website</a></li>';

}

echo '<li>';

wp_loginout();

echo '</li>

</ul>';

} ?>

It adds an admin link to, and prints it all as a list.

Sales question?
