   Hello

   I'm trying to add a filter on get_the_author_link or the_author_link.

   This is the function from author-template.php :
   

   function get_the_author_link() {
   	if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {
   		return '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="external">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
   	} else {
   		return get_the_author();
   	}
   }

   if get_the_author_meta('url') is empty, only the author name will be returned.

   I want to add a filter to add another link. Function like this :
   

   function my_get_the_author_link() {
   	if ( get_the_author_meta('url') ) {
   		return '<a href="' . get_the_author_meta('url') . '" title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="author">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
   	} else {
   		return '<a href="' . home_url() . '/author/. get_the_author_meta('ID') . " title="' . esc_attr( sprintf(__("Visit %s’s website"), get_the_author()) ) . '" rel="author">' . get_the_author() . '</a>';
   	}
   }

   So i NEED to filter this function, because i need to modify too the "rel" microformat oncluded in the A tag.

   Thank you :)
