What about this feature into Cb 1.0 stable ?

Is it possible post an official article/document about tip and tricks needed and solved like this one ? (an official document to download and keep upgraded)

Hi. I've gone through this a bunch of times and I think I've pinpointed the error, but this seems strange. I'm using RC2, but when trying the URL normally as in index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=Rooby, that doesn't come up. I just get a message saying the user does not exist or is no longer available. Only using the user id number, not the username, works. I'm using SEF Advance but even when turned off I still have this problem.

heyhey...

at first i want to thank you for this great and easy idea...

i'm running my site in an subdir on my webserver called "portal", so i got it working with the following htaccess:

[code:1]DirectoryIndex index.htm index.php

RewriteEngine On


RewriteBase /portal/

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

# RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?cb_username=$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|css|js|pl|txt)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php[/code:1]

i'm trying to use this together with the hotornot-component.
at least i'm redirected to the correct profile, but the images from the hototnot-modules do not show up. (i got newest and random pic in the header). i also got a profile tab with the user's submitted pictures, they also don't show up.

the problem is, that the img-urls are like

mysite.com/components/com_hotornot2/ etc.

but should be

mysite.com/portal/components/com_hotornot2/ etc.


this is only for the hotornot-pics, the standart img-folder is found correctly, as well as the /templates/bla/img-folder

would be great if someone could help me in this case, i really would like to use this feature.

i also wonder if this mod for showing the userurl is still around, couldnt find it.

thanks a lot and please excuse my english

edit: i looked it over again, and its quite strange, its not only the hot-or-not-pics. when i go to an userpage by mysite.com/username, the user avatar of the user is shown correctly, but my own avatar that should be in the cb-loginbox won't appear.

Is there a way to write something for Open SEF to do exceptions so that this will work. There has to be a way

hi mediaguru,
I have enabled custom url and seems working fine but the problem
is it works only when i type it manually in the address bar,eg www.mysite.com/username, But when i click on the profile link it
doesnt show custom url rather it shows www.mysite.com/component/option,com_comprofiler/Itemid,314/
So how can i enable to show custom url when i click on profile.
And another problem is it doesnt work with OpenSEF but works without SEF and with standard SEF.
Thanks
henmar

It is working properly. The url like www.mysite.com/user is not the acutal url. Mod rewrite is basically rewriting that so it goes to the com_comprofiler url.

So is there a way to get this to work with OpenSEF if so, how?

I can't get it to work I tried all options found on this forum.the best I get so far is "This profile does not exist or is no longer available" whch tells me that profile cant be seen becasue the user profiles are determined bu user ID not user name

SEF on or off same message apears

anyone?
