I have had the url/username virtual subdomain working for a while now but would like to know if someone's created a plugin or hacked the code yet to have an image and/or link like myspace.com has show members can announce automatically their URL on the website:

Link to my profile:
mywebsite.com/username

or

My URL on *this website*
mywebsite.com/username

... you get the picture... having an image next to the link also adds a bit more pizazz

Bump! Anyone?

Hello everyrbody,

Surely I did something wrong but what the did I wrong? Used the description of djtrail and the Forum information I have seen...

the
# Update YourJoomlaDirectory (just / for root)
/
# RewriteBase /YourJoomlaDirectory
part is definately not ok.. remove that lonely slash

second attempt at trying to reply!!!

In short, i tried again with exactly the same file and it worked with no problems at all... Do not know how or why, but it does. I suspect somehting changed with the host.
But thanks djtrail...

for reference i attached a txt file of my htaccess if it is of help to anyone else. it is combined with the original joomla one i had.

Is there a working example of this? I do not have open sef and would like to try to apply this technique. Also, is there a link to the newest version so I may be current.

I have been tryin for days to get this to work.

I have managed to get the subdomains to redirect so

sub.domain.com is converted to www.domain.com/sub

But the usernames are not found. Instead I get a 404 not found error.

Please can someone offer some assistance. My htaccess file is

[code:1]
RewriteEngine On

RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=10

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteBase /html/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([^/]+)\.musikshed\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %1 !www$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.musikshed.com/%1 [R,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='$1' [L]
[/code:1]

Nice and Simple , Thank You
