Just a quick question. I am trying to help a friend with his website. I have dabbled in web development a bit, and am trying to help him save him a little money. Anyways, enough of that.
On his site, he wants users to be able to sign up and create a profile. This profile will store certain information about the user. Is it possible to allow users to sign up and their profile page will be given a sequential number for the url. I know this isn’t very clear, I am having a difficult time figuring out how to word this, I think.
Basically, this is what I am trying to accomplish:
User1 signs up for a profile on this site. His profile url would be http://www.mywebsite.com/1
Now, a new user signs up and their URL would be http://www.mywebsite.com/2.
All the profiles would be an increasing sequential number. Rather than coding the bulk of the website from scrath, I have considered trying to accomplish this, using Drupal or Joomla. Is there a way to get this done? I would really appreciate any help that you folks could offer. I will be checking this fairly often, so if you need any more information, just let me know. Thanks again and in advance. Take care all.
drupal will do this out of the box. And you can use the pathauto module to rewrite the url of profiles to whatever scheme you want.
