How do we link to the accessing Member's Profile in Generic Content/Forum/Blog Post?

 KMSigma Not a dumb question and definitely not a straightforward option since the profile URL is dynamic (versus settings: https://community.telligent.com/user/settings). 

I haven't re-tested this, nor did I write it, but this is some code from an old Unfiltered HTML widget on my site that contained a button encouraging users to visit their profile. It might need some tweaks, but should give a good starting point for you to backward engineer:

....
<div>
<a class="XXXXX" id="u-profile" href="#" target="_top">
<h5 id="XXXXX">My Profile</h5>
<img src="my really cool CTA image.png"/>
<p class="XXXXX" id="XXXXX">Click here to update your profile</p>
</a>
</div>

</div>
<script>
//Begin JS code for setting the link to the profile field
jQuery=window.parent.jQuery;
jQuery.telligent.evolution.get({
url: jQuery.telligent.evolution.site.getBaseUrl() + 'api.ashx/v2/user.json',
data: {'id': jQuery.telligent.evolution.user.accessing.id},
success: function(response) {
console.log("response: ",response);
var profile = document.getElementById("u-profile");
profile.href = response.User.ProfileUrl;
}
});
//End JS code for setting the link to the profile field
</script>

I remember it worked pretty well, we just changed other things on the page where it was used. I hope this helps!

I wish there was some type of tokenization for this.  Maybe something to put into the Ideas and Improvements .

The burn on this is that I'd like it to be available to a specific role only - adds a layer of complexity considering the TinyMCE editor.

As mentioned before, this is all pretty easy in a custom widget and is less code than the javascript example even if you include a role check.   The example above also has no logic to deal with the fact a user is not logged in, which is also fairly simple to do

Thanks to everyone.  I'll probably tinker with this in the new year.
