# Link to contestant

To make a link to a user who has submitted an entry for contest, you need to create a content plugin for `onContentPrepare` event.

In [entry layout options](https://docs.norrnext.com/norrcompetition/configuration/entry) the parameter *Contestant* should be enabled, as well as *Link Contestant*.

The idea is to set `submitter_link` property for entry object. Here is an example of `onContentPrepare` code:

```php
/**
 * Retrieves the link for contestant.
 *
 * @param   string   $context  The context of the content being passed to the plugin.
 * @param   mixed    &$item    An entry object.
 * @param   object   $params   Component parameters.
 * @param   integer  $page     Optional page number. Unused. Defaults to zero.
 *
 * @return  boolean
 */
public function onContentPrepare($context, &$item, $params, $page = 0)
{
	// Check for valid context
	if ($context != 'com_competition.participant')
	{
		return true;
	}

	// Return if we don't have valid params or don't show/link to the contestant
	if (!($params instanceof Joomla\Registry\Registry)
		|| !$params->get('participant_show_submitter')
		|| !$params->get('participant_link_submitter'))
	{
		return true;
	}

	// Return if we don't have a valid submitter id
	if (!isset($item->userId) || !(int) $item->userId)
	{
		return true;
	}

	// Set the link to submitter
	$item->submitter_link = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_somecomponent&profile=' . $item->userId);

	return true;
}
```
