This is a pretty simple hack but is designed so that you can access members profiles quickly and / or your members can have an easy link to pass around for their user profile.
STEP 1:
If you don't have one already create a file named .htaccess in your forums root directory.
STEP 2:
Paste the following code within that file:
## Altsounds.com Member re-write Hack Version1
## All music fans should check out altsounds.com for lots of free music to listen to!!
# turn the Apache MOD_REWRITE engine on
RewriteEngine On
# this first rule will catch the "blank" entry into the
# Forums directory, taking the user to the main forum page - change as appropriate
RewriteRule ^$ hangout.php
# this next entry will catch everything else and pass
# it to the member.php engine for processing in
# the "member" section
RewriteRule (^[-_A-Za-z0-9\ ]*$) member.php?&username=$1
That's it! My main forum page is hangout.php. So you should change that within the code above to whatever your forum main page is (usually index.php).
Now all your members links to their profile is {link to forum}/{username} or {link to forum}/{userid} e.g. in my websites case http://hangout.altsounds.com/altsounds or will take you directly to the username "altsounds" user profile. If no profile is available (i.e. a member is not registered) you will get the appropriate error message.
Simple but cool. Hope you all enjoy.
