Hey guys,

I need help with community builder: when a user registers on my site it gives them a page with the url " www.mimorial.com/index.php/cb-profile ". How can I make it so that each registered user has a unique profile? Did I just set something up wrong? The registration is through CB as well, not the general Joomla site login so it should automatically generate a new url for each user. Thanks in advance!

Hi [I am only a user]
I think you didn't understand:
each person has a unique profile. When this person logges in, he can see his profile always under this address. When you are logged in as another person, then you see their own profile.
(I made a userlist I can use (even from my profile). Like that I can reach the profiles from other users and I see their unique address too.
Perhaps this helps.

right, but the problem is when I try to register and make new profiles with new email addresses and names I still get the " www.mimorial.com/index.php/cb-profile " name for each profile which ends up not being unique since each profile has the same name

you need to enable apache rewriting (htaccess.txt -> .htaccess)

after changing the htaccess.txt file to .htaccess and putting it into my sites home directory will that start generating unique profiles? I tried it and didn't find a solution yet

Joomla global parameters -> Use URL rewriting must also be enabled.

This will get rid of the index.php in your urls.

CB has unique URLs already - you need to create a user list to see them.
