You can register as many sidebars as you would like and then call them by name in the theme files:
<?php get_sidebar('main_sidebar'); ?>

So, many themes will have a ‘main sidebar’ that is on all the blog pages and then a ‘page sidebar’ that gets called in the page.php file and is only displayed on ‘pages’

Hi all,

First, GREAT plugin! It works perfectly right out of the box!

However, I am never satisfied with any new shiny toy 😀

I want to make it so that when you click on someone’s photo or name, instead of going to the fbconnect profile I want it to go to their author page.

So, I went though the plugin pages and changed every instance of fbconnect_action=myhome&userid=XX to author=XX and that worked great when permalinks were turned off. However, once permalinks were turned on (as I want them to be) click on the users that were created soley by FB connect return a 404 error.

They redirect to /author/FirstnameLastname. Now, WP author pages are at /author/username so I thought that might be the problem. So, I changed the FB connect registration to register the username as FirstnameLastname (which is much better then FB_FacebookID) but I am still getting a 404 error.

Also, when I got directly to /author/username (where username is the default FB_FacebookID) I get the 404 error as well.

The weirdest part is that when I have permalinks on and I click on a link for a FB Connect user that is attached to a WP user that I manually created it goes to their profile just fine. And when permalinks are off, everything works just perfectly…

Anyone have any ideas? Basically I cannot find the author pages for those FB Connect users when permalinks are on…

Thanks in advance for your help!

This is great!

Af3, I did need to add:

$vars['birthday'] = get_usermeta($id, 'birthday');

Here is what my code for the profile looks like:

$vars['country'] = get_usermeta($id, 'country');
	$vars['age'] = get_usermeta($id, 'age');
	$vars['favorite_animal'] = get_usermeta($id, 'favorite_animal');

	$output .= "<p>$display_name<br />";
	if(get_option('pf_show_emails') == 'yes')
		$output .= "Email:  <a href=" . "mailto:" . $user_email . ">" . antispambot($user_email) . "</a><br />";
	if($user_url != '' && $user_url != 'http://')
		$output .= "Website:  <a href=" . $user_url . " rel=\"nofollow\">$user_url</a><br />";
	if($vars['age'] != '')
		$output .= "Age: " . $vars['age'] . "<br />";
	if($vars['country'] != '')
		$output .= "Country: " . $vars['country'] . "<br />";
	if($vars['favorite_animal'] != '')
		$output .= "Favorite Animal: " . $vars['favorite_animal'] . "<br />";

	$output .= "Join date:  " . pf_format_datetime($user_registered) . "</p>";

That adds the three custom fields (age, country and favorite animal) in the profile.

Thank you all! now I just need to figure out how to get bbPress to point to this profile….
