can this be done with vb members profile link?

[influence]

Can the profile link be redirected to http://profiles.mysite.com/membername.html

I dont know if I can accomplish that by using either vbseo or some of the hacks on here.


Please someone tell me if this can be done. I know I will have to create a subdomain call profile and all but I dont know if this can be accomplished

you can't rename the actual link, but you can make it so

http://profiles.mysite.com/membername.html = http://profiles.mysite.com/member.php?$userid=XXX

With readwrite rules.

I use this in the .htaccess file to achieve this http://www.mysite.com/myuser

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) member.php?&username=$1

thank you sir,

vbseo.com showed me how to do it but your reply was truly appreciated. They also showed me how I can change my members profile links to http://membername.mysite.com . You will need to purchase their script to accomplish that though

You don't have to buy that script to do this. You can get to profiles with the username if you use this link:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?username=Brad

From there all you have to do is set up the rewrite rules.

Should use this really HR3rdGen:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond    %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  -d
RewriteRule ^([-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]+)$ member.php?&username=$1 [L]

How does it know to use "membername.html"?

if you do that and do a password reset wouldnt you get an error like the user name does not have an account so they do not exist?

what bout stuff like this as well

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^members.yoursite.com$
