sub-domains for members username

Considering many members are creating a myspace type look for their members profiles page, with comments, ratings etc etc

I think it would be great if we could have usename.domain.com to offer are users.

think its a good idea?

Re: sub-domains for members username

Your request is not exactly the same as (http://www.vbseo.com/18176-post6.html), you want to have:
Code:
usename.domain.com
instead of:
Code:
profiles.domain.com/usename
But it should be possible too, use the following URL format:
Code:
http://[user_name].mysite.com
and .htaccess entry:
Code:
 
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=http://%1.domain.com/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
If you test it, let me know how it goes

Re: sub-domains for members username

I think doing it this way is risky because someone can create a account call support.yoursite.com and some other crazy account name that will make their profile link seems like its affiliated with your site and god knows how some of your current subdomains will turn out to be after the rewrite

Re: sub-domains for members username

Add "support" to the disallowed usernames in vBulletin.

Re: sub-domains for members username

Considering I don't have any subdomains so its not a problem. Its not risky because theres only so much a user can do with his/her profile and its very easy to disallow usernames, as Congsoft suggested.

I'll try this out maybe a option in the CP would be better

Re: sub-domains for members username

Make sure that you have setup a "mask type domain" to point to the "forums/" folder. So that a domain like "anything.domain.com" will display the forum's homepage.

Also ensure your rewrite rules are added *above* the original vBSEO rules in .htaccess and your CRR modified accordingly.

Let me know how it goes..

Setting up sub-domains for membernames = very bad idea from seo point of view (correct me if I am wrong here), specially while using vbulletin forum software script.

yup, search engines would see each username as a different site..

This might be nice though if you don't show your profiles to guest and just want to clean the pages up
