Change URL path on user profiles. was created by hayesjames
Currently if I click on a user profile on the front end of the website, the URL generated is website.here/IDnumber-USERNAME
Is there a way to make it so that jsut the ID shows so that the individual is "hidden". The plan is that the user will only see fields with that level of detail when they subscribe, and if they are a little clever then they can just see the indivduals name /company in the url.
Thanks, J

Username, Formatname, Avatar, and Canvas are all considered always public. You can't remove username from the URL unless you use the Profile URL field for users to provide their own custom profile alias. They can then set it to whatever they like.

Hey Kyle,
Many thanks for your reply to this, I've just returned to this project and see this is still an issue !!
Is there a way the alias generation can be changed? It currently created the alias by using the ID of user and their Username (IDnumber-USERNAME). Can I change it to just using their ID ? This would make it anonymous.
An alternative solution would be to make the field public at registration, then hide it with CSS and use a random number generator in JavaScript to place a random number string to the field. But that feels a bit breakable!!

You can automate generation of profile alias using CB Auto Actions and a Field action. It has built in functionality for dealing with the alias field specifically.
