fake dirs

how would i go about setting up fake directories?

i.e.
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...me=sabret00the become www.ebslive.com/journals/sabret00the

http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...isplay=friends becomes www.ebslive.com/journals/sabret00the/friends

http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...y=syndications becomes http://www.ebslive.com/journals/sabr...e/syndications

With .htaccess.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)(/)?$ user.php?username=$1 

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/friends(/)?$ user.php?username=$1&display=friends

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/syndications(/)?$ user.php?username=$1&display=syndications

This should work.

No problem. You might want to add an underscore to the pattern if these are allowed in usernames.

Code:

-_A-Za-z0-9

Otherwise if it would fail if someone had a username like nico_swd, lol.

how would you take care of special characters and/or other language chars via .hta ?

thanks.

I don't think I understand what you're trying to do.

Nico, one more question, say if i have
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...et00the&e=5329
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...et00the&e=5330
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/user...et00the&e=5331

and i want to change that into

http://www.ebslive.com/journals/sabret00the/e=5329
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/sabret00the/e=5330
http://www.ebslive.com/journals/sabret00the/e=5331
what would i do then?

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+) e=$2 (/)?$ user.php?username=$1&e=$2

Give this a try.

Code:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/e=([0-9]+)$ user.php?username=$1&e=$2

EDIT:

You could take out the e= as well. This should do it.

Code:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ user.php?username=$1&e=$2

very interesting. I can imagine the value for this in increasing security. Thanks!

I've checked your site a bit, and there are some users with weird usernames that could cause errors. This here should work with most of them.

Code:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ user.php?username=$1 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/friends(/)?$ user.php?username=$1&display=friends

RewriteRule ^(.*)/syndications(/)?$ user.php?username=$1&display=syndications

RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)$ user.php?username=$1&e=$2

It would be easier and safer if you could use the userids instead of the usernames. If a user has for example a * in his username it will cause an error, and I'm not sure if there's a way around that.

The code above also requires a slash at the end when calling /journals/sabret00the/. I couldn't get it to work without.

what i'll do is, i'll get users to change their usernames, it seems the best bet. thanks for your help, i really appreciate that.

What you can do is following to avoid new users with bad characters.

Go to.

Admincp -> vbulletin options -> User registration options -> Username Regular Expression

And enter this: ^[-_A-Za-z0-9]+$

This way users can't pick bad characters and you don't have to worry about it in the future.
