How do we modify the URL rewriter.config file so that the url for profile is /forum/member/john

Currently it is /forum/default.aspx?g=profile&u=100

This will allows users to directly change username in URL to see others profile.

Another question:

In backend code, how do we get the profile ID number? We can get profile username by using User.Identity.Name, but not sure how to get the number (example 100 above).

Thank you 🙂

For your second question, try this:

public static int GetUserId(string userName)
{
	var yafUserData = new CombinedUserDataHelper(YafContext.Current
	.Get<MembershipProvider>().GetUser(userName, true));
	return yafUserData.UserID;
}

Thanks mc-kay. Another one I found is:

var UserID = YAF.Core.YafContext.Current.PageUserID;
