Can members create a "home page" using the community builder. I've looked around a little and can't seem to find where to do it. Bio, photos, links etc. or do you just sort of integrate that into your blog?
Even if that's the case seems like it would be nice to have a homepage type anchor.
thanks for the assistance.

yeah no problemo
in the root of your site put a file called .htaccess if its not already there (sef needs it for instance)
NOTE: you have to have the MOD_REWRITE module enabled in your apache webserver configuration for this to work.
Make sure this line is somewhere in your .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
Then put this line below it:
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ /index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='$1' [L]
From now on you can access a profile by going to www.domain.com/username

Does this work even if someone happened to have the username 'component' ? I had read about this before and thought I remembered that being an issue, just wondering if it is still a problem.

I do not have those usernames and when i have them i just ask them to change their name..
We still have nig issues with DOTS in the name.
Mr.T <- big problem.
I tried to get the javascript checker to fix that but the decision was made not to move from the joomla way of doing things. Coz ppl could use the old register link, bypassing CB, and use dots in the name.
Ok i did not agree at all because i think 99,99% of users will not be able to find any old component links and just use the ones presented to them, but it was a team decision.
To fix this i guess we need to edit the javascript checker and disable dots usage ourselves.

That seems promising. The control over what goes in the profile looks great and I assume admin has control over what part of the profile is public.
Are multiple images supported. Users can upload a "Avatar" image to their profile but can they also have a photo page with half a dozen thumbnails linked to fullsize, caption, next prev. etc. etc. like a little mini gallery?

Thanks for the code. One problem I noticed is that after inserting the code in .htaccess file, if the site is under maintenance, you no longer going to be able to access the admin section by typing the http://www.mysite.com/administrator/.
I guess the code is treating the admin section as a user profile.

JD
