[SOLVED] CB Profile SEF Url with userid instead username

hello

Instead to get a SEF url who look by default like this:

www.site.com/my-profile/userprofile/myusername

I would prefer for privacy reason get this:

www.site.com/my-profile/userprofile/123

I tested and in practice is possible to access to profile using user ID instead username (such this: www.joomlapolis.com/my-profile/userprofile/12345 ) but I wondering if a settings somewhere allow to set this by default..

thank

There's no parameter to change it to user id. You'd need to edit our router.php file and adjust how it rewrites profile URLs.

I know you are not very happy to provide trick for hack CB core file, however could you tell me how to make this modification please ?? I don't know where is the code to modify and how...

many thank

In comprofilerBuildRoute under userprofile switch case there is an is_numeric IF check. Remove that chunk of code as inside that if check is where it translates user id to username. Beyond that I can't help, sorry, as we don't support core edits.

For your information I have exactly the same need:
we want to get the user_id in the SEF url, instead of the username (for both privacy and safety, because the username is a key to log-in into the user account).

Even the user real_name would be better than the username.

I note the way to do this by hack (thank you), but it would be much better to have this as a configuration parameter.

thank you
