Question

When going to edit account or edit profile in Drupal 7, the URL looks something like http://localhost/user/123/edit where 123 is the user id. Because of this, anyone can see how many users the site has, which I don’t want. Is there a way that I can change it to something like http://localhost/user/edit or something without an ID?

I’ve tried setting up a menu entry in my module, that acts as the edit account/profile page, but had no success.

Also, I don’t want to install a new module for this, I’d rather just write my code.

Answer 1

What I did after all, was to create a hook_user_insert and to add 2 URL aliases in the urlalias table:

user/$user->uid/edit -> user/$user->name/edit

and

user/$user->uid/edit/profile -> user/$user->name/edit/profile

Hope this helps somebody.
