MySpace Style Profile Links PLUS
Only tested on a linux server and will only work if you can use .htaccess files (Rewrite Conditions) on your server. What this will do: It gives your members a simple and easy link to remember and give to there friends to get to there profile. Also changes the profile link in members profiles contact us tab from the long ugly link to the new short sexy link. Also Adds a nicely placed User Profile link to the top of the navbar with profile editing links. DEMO: This link: http://StillFallin.com/StillFallin Will take you to this link: http://stillfallinentertainment.com/...me=StillFallin Screen Shots Attached vB 3.6.x Version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=170293 (Step 1) File Edits Open your Favorite FTP software Go to the root of your domain you wish to use as a jump point Example: /public_html/ Find and open your .htaccess file Note if you do not have one then create one Add in the .htaccess file: Code:
<MySpace Style Profile Link> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://Example.com/Forums/member.php?username=$1 [R] </MySpace Style Profile Link> RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://Example.com/Forums/member.php?username=$1 [R] Just replace: Code:
Example.com/Forums/ Save, close, and upload back to the server unless you did live edits on the server in that case just close and save. NOTE: If you have more then one domain you can add the .htaccess file to other domains as well. For Example: My forums are on MyLongDomain.com But i added the .htaccess file to MyShortDomain.com Now go to: Code:
http://Example.com/User Name If there are spaces in your user name you must enter the spaces in the link as well Same goes with other characters like if you have ---User Name--- You Would Enter: Code:
http://Example.com/---User Name--- If that works correctly then move on to Step 2 (Step 2) Template Edites Go to your vB Forums Admin cP > Style Manager > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates Open navbar Before: Code:
<!-- breadcrumb, login, pm info --> Code:
<!-- MySpace Style Profile Link --> <if condition="$show['member']"> <div align="center"> <table width="100%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="100%" align="left"> <font color="#FF0000"> My Profile Url: <a href="http://StillFallin.com/$bbuserinfo[username]">StillFallin.com/$bbuserinfo[username]</a> [<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=customize">Customize</a>]-[<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=editprofile">My Details</a>]-[<a href="album.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">My Albums</a>]-[<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl_q]do=editprofilepic">My Pic</a>] </font> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </if> <!-- / MySpace Style Profile Links --> Edit: Code:

this is very case sensitive so check for capital letters in your files that could be your problem if not then maybe it wont work with your server who knows that or maybe if you got leech protection turned on check your settings for that idk what to tell you works well on all of my servers and a few of my friends servers even works on my pc when i set it up for a local test server Quote:
username=w00t! i dont know about that as far as suggestion 1 i didnt know that there was a members folder unless your talking about creating one and adding the htaccess file in there after you create it but then that would just defeat the whole purpose of a shorter link cause its just making it longer and its also no longer a myspace style link after you do that and for suggestion 2 that just dont make any since or maybe im just too sober to understand that but it dont make any since |

actually, the link to the pic I posted worked... Then I tried the URL rewrite, and lost 20% of my site's images.. removed it from my .htaccess and my pics came back.
I'll figure it out I guess |

I had to uninstall this, does not work with vBSEO, as I get a error message.
This is what vBSEO does, no numbers or funny characters when viewing profiles http://www.fragmasters.co.uk/forum/members/fragmaster/ |
