Linking to a Profile via PHP

I'm trying to get the author of a article module to link to the respective profile. On my frontpage you can see that the author links do not link to a profile. The module currently supports CB, JomSocial, and Kunena but not CB. As I understand it, this is the code used to link to each profile type:

/* COMMUNITY BUILDER LINK */

			

				$cblink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=' . $row->created_by);

			

			/* JOMSOCIAL LINK */

			

				$jslink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid=' . $row->created_by);

			

			/* KUNENA LINK */

			

				$kunlink = 'index.php?option=com_kunena&func=profile&userid=' . $row->created_by;

For the sake of making this as easy as possible, I'm wanting to swap out the CommunityBuilder link method to link to ES. I assume this is kinda close?

$cblink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_easysocial&task=profile&user=' . $row->created_by);

I know how to link to the currently logged in user but am not sure how to prefer to a user. I suppose it's even more work if I want to use the permalink for the link? If I remember right the module produces clean SEF url's (to the public) with the code mentioned above for the given profile systems. And yes I've looked through the ES dev docs.
