Username Add To URL

[samhouston1107]

Hey community,

How can I add the username into a users profile page URL?

Example: www.application.com/username

HAHAHAHAHA … Too Funny

Can anyone help with this issue?

[samhouston1107]

Any ideas.

I’ve covered this before. See the post reply below (read thread for context).

Showing IP Address for individual User Pages

OK, so here’s a way. Here’s a page where I extract the user’s name from the URL and then search for them: [image] A couple things to note: You can’t just have myapp.com/FirstnameLastname But you can have myapp.com/users/FirstnameLastname (Aside: you can’t have myapp.com/user as that seems to be a reserved word and Bubble gives a funny error message when you try to create a page with that name.) For the technique I’m about to describe to work, the User First Name and User Last Name fields …

Ok, I’ll review it.

So, should the change show in the editor or preview mode?

[samhouston1107]

The Preview URL is showing application.bubbleapps.io/version-test/profile/782397489748974897

Your example is not working.

The point is: this is a clever hack.

You hit the page with the URL you want to see.

Not: https://application.bubbleapps.io/version-test/profile/782397489748974897

But:

https://application.bubbleapps.io/version-test/profile/FirstnameLastname

ALSO, for this to work, the page SHOULD NOT have a type. (Because you DO NOT want the page to interpret the path as a unique ID, right?)

[samhouston1107]

I took the page type off but it’s still now working.

I just want to pass the username and not the first and last name.
