$authorUrl[]

The $authorUrl[] function modifies only the URL of the author of an embed. Once defined, the author’s name becomes a clickable hyperlink.

Syntax

$authorUrl[url;(embedIndex)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
url	Destination URL. The author name will point to this address.
embedIndex	Optional. Index of the targeted embed (0 by default).

Return value

Modifies the response in progress. Returns nothing.

When to use $authorUrl[]

• You have already set the author with $author[name] or $author[name;icon] and want to make it clickable.
• The URL is dynamic (depends on a variable, an ID, etc.).
• You want to separate the definition of the name/icon from that of the link for better clarity.

Examples

Link to the Discord profile of the user

$author[$username;$authorAvatar]
$authorUrl[https://discord.com/users/$authorID]
$title[User Profile]
$description[
Click on the name above to open the Discord profile.

Notes

• $authorUrl[] must be called after $author[], otherwise there is no author to apply the URL to.
• If you call $authorUrl[] alone (without $author[] beforehand), the URL will be ignored.
• The URL must be absolute (starting with http:// or https://).
