    • How do you use the username as the profile URL?

    Posted by James Geddes posts: 126

    Hi everyone,

    My username on Geek.Zone is "James". Is it possible to use this as the URL of my profile, so that the URL is;

    Geek.Zone/James

    not

    Geek.Zone/user2

    The first one looks much better!

    How do you also allow users to share a bit more information about themselves on their profile? For example, a bio and a list of pages they have contributed to would be super.

    Thanks!

    James

    Not sure this is possible, but you can probably do some sort of re-direct from the user wiki page (e.g., https://geek.zone/User:James )

    To have their list of contributions, users can select which info to share on their User Preferences page. Please see the docs for details.

    To let them add a bio or other info, you can use a User Tracker. Please see the docs for details.

    HTH,
