I want to make it so the "Administrator" or "Moderator" or "Forum Member" titles are there, but in text and not links. I want to be able to have it so I click on a user's name and instead of that pasting into the reply box, it goes to that user's profile.

I've searched and tried my own testing. I just can't find where the $viewReg variable is set (which file?). Once I have that, I can do the rest on my own.

So, which file is it?

Thanks!

Here is how to find where to edit this and that.

But anyway, if you edit a core file, it's bad for further updates, because you will need to roll back your own modifications each time.

What you would like to achieve, could be done also with non-destructive methods. For example, we may use parseMessage() function of bb_plugins.php file. Such function may be used by other add-ons, in that case you need to paste the block of code provided below, before the return; statement. If function is not available, just paste the code as shown below. Do not duplicate that function, else it will stop the forums.

Then modify templates/main_posts_cell.html and replace default code which looks like this:

to this:

That 100% works as I already have tested it. Enjoy!

This code works for those regular posts, but it would be great if also private message addon's single messages would have link to sender's profile page. (Name of the user who sent PM would be link to his/hers profile page.) I believe that this would be possible to create, so how much money would it take to do that?

For Private Messages add-on, you could achieve that modifying templates/addon_pmail_viewmsg.html and putting the following code:

I suppose in that case you would need to remove the code containing {$viewReg} and {$userfromnick} in the same template for not duplicating them.
