I was directed here form the forms at DNN.  I am creating a new web site in which users will register and then have their own home page.  The site will be located at http://www.somewhere.com and each users home page will be located at http://www.somewhere.com/userx .

It will be unnecessary for each user to be able to individually customize their pages, the only difference in pages will be the data displayed which will be queried from a db. 

Without being able to download the ActiveProfile code and test myself, my question is rather simple.  Will ActiveProfile be able to provide this functionality.  It appears yes, but I'm not quite sure it will properly handle the individual url's for each user.

One idea I did have if the user url's are not properly handled, would be for the 404 page on the site to automatically rewrite the url to the one necessary for ActiveProfile, provided the 404 page has access to the original url, for instance:

http://www.somewhere.com/user555 -> 404 page -> rewrites to:
http://www.somewhere.com/?finduser=user555 -> locates proper page -> redirects

Suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated.

Active Profile does have an option that will allow you to create URLs such as http://www.somewhere.com/profilename. This basically works the way you have described above.

Sounds like Active Profile will work well for your situation. Let us know if you have any other specific questions.

Thanks,

Excellent! Thanks Will for the quick reply. I will be placing an order this afternoon and looking forward to working with your team.

Active Profile is an significant extension of basic user profile details that integrates with Active Messaging and Active Forums.

From the above, is Active Profile a stand alone extension to DNN or is Active Messaging and Active Forums a required component?

-Thanks

No, Active Messaging and Active Forums are not required.

I am trying to get the IIS redirector working properly.  I have configured IIS to redirect on a 404 to:

/DotNetNuke_2/desktopmodules/dnnfusion_myprofile/profilefind.aspx

However, when I put in a URL such as:

http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2/Test

I end up at:

http://localhost/dotnetnuke_2/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

Here is the information for my user:

[script removed]User Name: Enter a username Test User name is required [script removed]First Name: Enter a First Name First name is required [script removed]Last Name: Enter a Last Name Last name is required [script removed]Display Name: Provide a Display Name Display Name is required [script removed]Email Address: Enter a valid Email address

If I try the URL:

http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2/TestUser

I get the same page:


http://localhost/dotnetnuke_2/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

My TestUser has properly created an Active Profile.

I have enabled Redirector Configured:

[script removed]Max Image width allowed: Image above this size will be resized before being stored
[script removed]Block deleted profiles: Check to add deleted profile owner to blocked list
[script removed]Redirector Configured: Tick if the URL redirection has been configured in IIS. This will change the URLs displayed in MyProfile to < domain >/< displayname >
[script removed]Target Tab: Select the tab to display the profile on. This tab must have a MyProfile module on it.	Home User Profile Search Results
[script removed]Auto Approve friend adds:

Please provide a resonse,

Thanks,
Seth

Regarding the my last post.  I found the issue, I had to change the Target Tab to be that of User Profile instead of Home.

Works great now.

Thanks,
Seth
