Links to member profile pages: Rewrite problems with special chars

Hi,

yesterday I noticed a problem with the members/.. links. There was an existing user called tweety so the profile page was available at forumurl/members/tweety.html. Then another user registered and chose the nick tweety#. Now the link for tweety# gets rewritten by vbSEO and links to the profile page of the user tweety.

How can I solve this?

Thank you - all the best,
Sacha

Hello Sacha,

you should either manually enable VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS option in includes/config_vbseo.php file:

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_REWRITE_MEMBER_MORECHARS', 1); 


or change your member profile URL format by including [user_id] part into it, like:

Code:

members/[user_name]-[user_id].html

Hello Oleg,

thanks for your advise. Should have seen it myself and changing the member profile URL format is a perfect solution for me.

all the best,
Sacha

You are welcome!
