PF Insights: The Official PF Blog

[Greg Bernhardt]

Keep them coming, guys!

btw, we're always looking for new writers :)

When I click on my "Insights Author" badge in my profile page, I go to a page with the following message:

Nothing Found Sorry, the post you are looking for is not available. Maybe you want to perform a search?

I don't have a plan to write anything for now, but this doesn't feel right!

Yeah I need to fix that

Suggestion: make the "Insight Author" badge in the forum
link to that author's insight-author page (which lists their insights).

We had that for awhile, but there is an issue with members that have spaces. Spaces aren't allowed in wordpress accounts so it would become a broken link. I couldn't find a workaround so I removed the link.

Is it more than replacing all spaces? str_replace(" ","-",$username)

I'd have to create a little addon as that isn't allowed in templates, but I might rather do an htaccess rewrite.

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Fixed it, thanks for the motivation :)

I just figured it out! The problem is, I changed my username. So when I click on my badge, my current PF username is sent but my wordpress username is still my old PF username.

Will there be a link in the INSIGHTS tab?

Will there be a link in the INSIGHTS tab?

At the moment it's in the nav inside Insights. Do you think there should be one for the forums drop down?

I continued to look around and saw that it was on the Articles page. So, if even I could find it, it's probably easy to find.

I have redone the menu and categories for Insights. The old way you could either select a category like math or a format like tutorial. The problem was you couldn't select math tutorials. Now you can!

Insights is such a great resource. I hope everyone is reading and sharing what they find!

What is the policy regarding an Insight submission that covers similar ground (perhaps with similarity in language and style) as the author's blog, or a document that they have posted to arXiv etc?

No problem whatsoever as long as the content is not exactly the same.
