url_alias of user profiles with nickname

Thursday 21 May 2009 12:02:01 pm

Hi,

I've a small problem:
The URL to the user profiles look as follows at the moment:
<b>www.domain.com/Users/Registered-users/Mike-Meiers</b>

As you can see, the <first_name> and <last_name> is used to identify the object (Mike-Meiers). Due to data protection I want to change the url_alias to ../<login_name>:
<b>www.domain.com/Users/Registered-users/Mikesnickname</b>

When I change the url_alias setting of the user class I've two problems:

1) URL alias of existing users don't change
2) I don't know how to get the login-name (normally <first_name> <last_name> is set). And the user name is a sub-item of <user_account>.

Maybe anyone can help me? Is there a job that regenerates the url_aliases?

Ciao,
Mike

Hi Ivo,

Thanks, that was the right script :)
Here is the solution (if someone else has this problem):

1) Change URL-alias name of class "user" to <user_account>
2) Run bin/php/updateniceurls.php -s <site> script

Then you'll have the following URL:
<b>www.domain.com/Users/Registered-users/Mikesnickname</b>

Thanks Ivo,
Good night,

Mike
