URI in user name like in Wordpress

sedmi - November 28, 2008 - 16:10

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how could we enable users place their personal link in their user name, like uri in wordpress?
Is there any module necessary for that? Does it exist?

with pathauto.module you can have youriste.com/username or yoursite.com/user/username or whatever you want actually.

I guess I wasn't clear enough, or I don't understand you.
What I wanted is that when new user is registering, he has available this fields:

Username (this is already there and is required for registration)
email (this is already there and is required for registration)
uri (this is what I would like to add, and it shouldn't be required for the registration, and should turn into link that has username for anchor text, like in wordpress, so that every comment from that user has link in his username to this URI)

Ah, I see now. I don't know of any modules that do what you ask. That doesn't mean that there isn't one, only that I am not aware of it.

yeah, i'm not sure about that either

in drupal, the username is set to link to the path user/* to show all relevant content, admin options, etc...turning it to an external link makes the internal paths a bit screwy but it certainly should be possible

however, you may want to explore content profile module and try doing it that way, and you can expose part of content profile during registration as well...
