hey all
I have a need to create easy accessible user profiles. basically here are my
only 2 options:
username.mydomain.com
or
mydomain.com/username
for now we where using 2nd option but as result of plain folder creatin we
eneded up with roughly 5000 folders in the root directory an as result FTP
became unaccessible as it only supports 1000 folders, + if I want to find any
system folder in tere (ex flash) it makes it almost impossible to complete.
So I want to create either virtual or redirected folders. Something like if
some one requests either of above usrls and those urls (some how much user user
folders) they get regirected to for say: www.mydomain.com/users/username
Or even better (in ideal case cenario) maybe we can do custom module that would
do following loghic:
1. requested: www.mydomain.com/alex
2. logic: check is directory "alex" exist in root if so open it as reular page.
3. if dir does not exist open MySQL (ar any page that will resolve name to id)
4. if dir got resolved and we got id ex: id=123 redirect request to
www.mydomain.com/users/userpage.php?id=123
If what i described is not possible I can go along with regualr user
identification such as username.mydomain.com.
I found following instructions on how to use module, but i ont know where to
put them.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.[^.]+\.host\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.+) %{HTTP_HOST}$1 [C]
RewriteRule ^www\.([^.]+)\.host\.com(.*) /AA/$1$2
I hope some one can help me out. And forgive me for my chaotic explanation of
what I got.\
TNX a lot!
