Default User Profile Fields

[netweb]

I couldn't work out why a users profile URL wasn't being displayed on their profile and realized it is because we don't actually include it in user-profile.php

I'm conflicted on if we should or shouldn't include this by default.

If we do then should we also include user registration date?

What about user_contactmethods? Should we create a new function bbp_user_contact_methods similar to bbp_edit_user_contact_methods and output each to the user profile?

Over on bbpress I mentioned if we went ahead it would not use target="_blank" and linked to ​this, after reading some of comments in that post there are pros and cons to both sides of the argument.

I personally despise target="_blank" but I 100% expect (and count on it) with external links from Twitter and Gmail, but NOT Google Search.

So now, myself I am now conflicted on both implementation and if it should open in a new window/tab or not!

Of course the solution would be to add a function to includes/user/template.php called say

bbp_displayed_user_url_link ()

and create that with the href but without the target="_blank"

and call that from user-profile.php

and then anyone who wants can filter this function to add the 'target="_blank"' without having to alter the profile template !

Everyone satisfied !

In 5472:

Use wp_get_user_contact_methods() in bbp_get_user_contact_methods(). See #2570.

URL seems fine to me. So do the registration date and contact methods.

Moving to 2.7.

Bumping all 2.7 to 2.8 milestone.
