Quoting Steve Hays hays@ohio.edu:
I have added a field to Profile (profile_blog_name) that allows each user to name or rename his own blog. I have also hacked drupal_set_title() at blog>blog-pages.inc to use that new field content as the title that appears on the blog page.
I then assembled a view that contains all active Profile blog-names-- that is, a directory of all user blogs on the site. Now I'd like to add a link for each blog to that page. I think the easiest way would be to add a hidden field to Profiles and automatically render it as a link at the time of user registration. So, when someone registers and becomes $uid #125, the field is automatically completed as $base_path/ blog/125 or perhaps it would need to be <a=href ....>link</a>. If I can get the value into Profiles, I assume I should be able to include it as a Views field and that it should propagate through the blog page just like other fields.
I'm just an old classicist trying to implement this for my students-- not a programmer. Can someone please tell me whether this will work-- and how to programatically generate the link in Profiles?
Many thanks in advance,
