On my site, user profiles have URLs like this:

mywebsite.com/profile/userprofile/Tom%20Smith


Is there a way to configure my CB URLs so that the URLs become:

mywebsite.com/profile/userprofile/Tom-Smith

or,

mywebsite.com/profile/userprofile/tom-smith

or,

mywebsite.com/profile/userprofile/TomSmith

?

I would prefer not to have spaces in the URLs.

Is CB creating a username field by copying the name field?

My CB Configuration Manager, General Settings are:
Name Style: First and Last Name Field
(which I think means that it creates a name field from the First and Last Name fields that I have in Registration)
Name Format: Name Only

I am using:
Joomla 2.5.4
CB 1.8
UdeIM 2.7
PHP 5.2.17
Apache
MySQL

SEO Settings:
Search Engine Friendly URLs: Yes
Use URL rewriting: Yes
Adds Suffix to URL: No
Unicode Aliases: No
Include Site Name in Page Titles: After

Thanks for trying, but please read my post. I am asking about how to configure the SEF URL output for CB profile pages.

Try to re-post in PRO forum, and you might get faster support from staff ;-)

Joomla core SEF + htaccess rewrite rules may also help, but I have not much knowledge in writing such rules.

Alternatively, you could try a 3rd-party SEF extension like AceSEF or sh404SEF.
As far as i know, AceSEF has a special CB extension, which lets you configure the actual path and userprofile part... i think both products are able to exchange %20 with any other character...
You may ask the respective developer/team via Support ticket or forum.
