Nexialys thanks again for making sure everyone is happy. I appreciate that. Follow Nexialysis' mod of this hack if you want to do it by userid too.

I have the guestbook/homepage hack installed, the modified version that displays it on a separate page; so what I did was a htaccess from root to display members webpage and another one at forum root to display the profile.

I learn something today and I started to change all my directory links to reflect the trailing slash.

altsounds, nice mod! I also really dig your site, it looks like you are using jamroom? I wrote up a little something so your vb members can add their jamroom album to under their avatar in the postbit, here's the link to it on the jamroom site http://www.jamroom.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2910

Eric cool MOD, I will be using this for sure.

Will they still get the appropriate error message if they are now allowed to view profiles, like Guests, or will this bypass that?

Haven't tested this but you should still get the same message regardless of whether or not you are a guest or a registered visitor. Basically letting you know that the member doesn't exist.

They get the error I just wish this worked more smoothly. A lot of links come up dead after doing this.


isnt there a wildcard version to this that makes your site a subdomain?

username.yoursite.com
?

As discussed earlier, if your directory links have a trailing / you should have no problem, you should be putting / into links that are directories anyway.

Hope that helped?

Working pretty good thanks :)

This is sort of overkill. There are two ways to access user profiles built in, ID and username.

the parameter for id is member.php?u=Userid
the parameter for username is member.php?getinfo&username=username

You do not need to mod rewrite it.
