Hello

is it possible to use an alias like the name of the owner of the profile instead of using id=x like https://mydoamin.eu/mahara/user/view.php?id=x in the URL of a profile-site or a view?

best regards and thnks for an answer,

michael

Michael, I think Gregor Anzelj does something similar to what you are after on his site.  Have a look at this thread:

Hello Richard,

thank you for your hint. I've tried the suggestion with the profile and the .htaccess file like Gregor Anzelj discribed in his forum-post. But unfortunately it doesn't work.

If I'am using the URL http://localhost/mahara/user/username the error-log-file shows me File does not exist or if I'am using http://localhost/mahara/profile/username script '/var/www/mahara/profile' not found or unable to stat.

Thanks & Regards,

michael

Hi Michael, I just tried it myself.  The ForceType directive didn't work with my apache setup either, but SetHandler worked:

<Files profile>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

Of course there's still the matter of rewriting all Mahara's internally generated urls to be friendly, but that's a lot of work.
