Profile URL with User ID was created by uncleron12345

Hello,

on my current site, there are no usernames used, but email and real names only.
In CB configuration the username is generated from email when not filled on registration.

So when a user visits another profile, the emailadress is shown in URL.
Is it possible to replace the emailadress with [user_id] by default?

or alternatively: to get the username from user_id on registration?

Best
René

Within CB > Configuration > User Profile you can adjust "Username Fallback" as needed. When username isn't provided it'll fallback to the field selected. There's no option for Username, but have added a feature ticket to implement it for a later release.

Hello Kyle,

thanks for your answer.
I already use username fallback to select email when username is not provided.

Thanks for adding the feature ticket

Where are the profile URLs generated?
As a temporary solution I could edit a core file for example?

I already did this with layout views of avatar images, where I just added some html code and link to profile: www.domain.com/profil/userprofile/[user_id].
So at least I have the ID in URLs on profiles or search lists.

You would need to edit router.php below and change the URL rewrite behavior. Specifically in comprofilerBuildRoute there's a switch case for userprofile. Just remove the is_numeric if chunk of code and it'll always be just user id.

components/com_comprofiler/router.php

A better option maybe to just use CB Auto Actions on the after registration trigger to set the username to [user_id].

thanks!

I've done this in router.php on line 40:

 //$sql	='SELECT' . $database->quoteName( 'username' )
   $sql ='SELECT' . $database->quoteName( 'id' )
	."\n FROM " . $database->quoteName( '#__users' )
	."\n WHERE " . $database->quoteName( 'id' ) . " = ". (int) $query['user'];
$database->setQuery( $sql, 0, 1 );
$username=	$database->loadResult();

Now the ID is shown in URL.

I know this solution wouldn't be recommended, but do you think this will work or may I get "broken URLs" in some parts of CB?

User ID will always function as it's specifically checked for when reversing the SEF URL.
