Automatic virtual url for users

Author Message

We have a customer who want a solution that will give the registered users an automatic virtual url like this:

     http://domain.com/firstname_lastname
 

Today the url is like this:

     http://domain.com/siteaccess/users/user_group/firstname_lastname
 

This is a portal site, so a manual job for doing this is not possible.

Anyone done something like this before?

Thanx in advance for any help...

Hi Siw,

You can write simple workflow event (triggered after publish) then setup new virtual forwarding (look on code in the kernel/content/urltranslator.php). The process will be automaticaly. But when portal will have 20 000 registered users the list can be quite long ;)

mod_rewrite should do the trick. With one additional rule you can redirect users to the user group:

RewriteRule ^(/+[a-z]+\_+[a-z]+)$ /users/administrator_users$1 [R=301,L]

 

http://example.com/administrator_user -> http://example.com/users/administrator_users/administrator_user

This will work but can cause problem when you have e.g folder with the same name pattern (aaa_bbb), so unique pattern for user object name should solve it (and pattern for re_write which match it). Try extend this example.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Lukasz
