URL's for Members names (see inside)

Can some one make a simple php file that can turn long urls into simple ones for members?
for example
https://vborg.vbsupport.rus/member.p...ername=t3media will get you to my profile page.
Could some one make a php so it will look like http://www.vbulletin.org/page.php?=t3media

I think this would be an awsome addition (not really a hack) for members who have community sites based around thier profiles.
I think it could simply just pass info to the long string since its already there.

Fingers crossed on hoping someone can pull this off.

it's very possible, but then it may be a little problem with users who user special characters or space or quotation marks etc in their username.

Yes indeed. I have a hack installed that only allows standard characters. No spaces etc. I get your point though. (BTW that hack is awsome)
How would you go about doing such a feat?

Don't those characters come back through URLs like spaces as %F20 or something like that... maybe you could use those somehow.

simple page using a

PHP Code:


		
			
$username = addslashes($_REQUEST['u']);



// might wanna add a line in here to reconvert stuff like %20 to plain text



if (!$username)

{

print_standard_error("USER NOT FOUND");

exit();

}



$getID = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid, username

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user

WHERE username = $username

");



$url = $vboptions['bburl'] . "/member.php?u=" . $getID['userid'];

print_standard_redirect("Whisking you to profile");

would work if you didn't wanna use a mod-rewrite for it :)

untested, as it was just me playing with code :)

I use the code here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=subdomain

to redirect http://username.myforum.com to their profile, that might be something you could work with...

PHP Code:


		
			
WHERE username = $username

That will never work, unless you quote it:

PHP Code:


		
			
WHERE username = '$username'

Thanks for the heads up. Your vb 3.0.7 or at least 3.0.0?

The post seems outdated so I just wanted to be sure.
