username.domain.com?

[DannyITR]

Hi sorry if this is a newb question but is it possible to make the user's profile page listed at username.domain.com? I understand there are some restrictions as to what a username could be in that case but could it be done?

[Immortal]

Not possible, sorry.

So what do you guys think? What about domain.com/username?

amy's userpage hack does that (the domain.com/username) so you can probably look at her code and see how to apply it to the profile page.

And dunno why immortal says its not possible to do username.domain.com.
it might not be easy but I'm sure its possible. (for example at dreamhost I can have unlimited domains like that, so I'd just need a way to take all the users and have that domain forward to their profile page, but if you host your own site then I'm sure it'd be easier)

you could use some nice .htaccess rewrite rules.

wildcard subdomains, and hope it works. sites like deviant art use it i beleive.

I had posted this in a thread about a hack I think thats why he said it couldn't be done.

Thanks for the info.

Would anyone know exactly how to do this with a step by step?
