How to give each user a domain.co.za/user permalink?

Posted by andremasteredge on January 15, 2008 at 6:30am

I want to be able to allow users who register to assign themselves a permalink that links to their profile (e.g. www.domain.co.za/user1), or perhaps if that isn't possible have Drupal automatically assign the permalink and allow users to rename it after their profile has been created. How would I go about seeting this up, The entire registration and profile creation process works already I just need some help figuring out the best way to get the permalinks working.

Thanks guys. appreciate the help...

What I'm looking for is to get a tab or something (like the View, Edit, ...) to get the permalink, because I'm using pathauto, and if an user uses that URL (eg: www.example.com/review-of-my-trip ) and, sometime in the future, he changes the node title and adds 2007, the pathauto will recreate the URL, so the old link will no longer be useful. Instead, I want to get www.example.com/node/23 , but in a user-friendly way (I know how to get the ID and also how to create the link "by hand").
Any "module" or similar to embed that link? (for each node, basically).

Thanks!
