Vanity Names [Paid] [Deleted]

[Liam W]

@Liam W Would like an option to assign the username as a vanity name when member signs up rather then them doing it themself. So if you signed up. As soon as you do, it would create www.domain.com/liam to point to the profile

I second this

Update released

I am trying to validate at your site @Liam W to purchase this but it says the API system is down. I have already validated once but it's wanting me to do it again.

I have it set to revalidate every month, to keep things fresh. Let me check the system...

@Ernest L. Defoe I've no idea why that's happening, I've manually marked you as licensed.

EDIT: Sorted, it didn't like being connected to via HTTP.

 

[Ernest L. Defoe]

Awesome thanks. Purchased.

Liam W updated Vanity Names with a new update entry:

Small Update

This small update allows numbers in vanity names, as well as removing all vanity names when regenerating them.

@Liam W can you allow certain usergroups to set their names or will it allow all usergroups?

Yes, it is permission controlled.

How would you rate this add-on?

 

[Nobitakung]

Can you please show what permission setting is available? Is it possible to allow only some user group to have vanity name?

There is one usergroup permission: 'Can use vanity name'.

Hi! Just a quick question.
I didn't find an answer yet.
What's better for SEO, Redirect or Park domain?
Thanks!

For example, here my vanity name is set to liam, so you can go to https://xf-liam.com/liam to view my profile.

Liam, I'm seeing that your profile is:
https://xf-liam.com/members/liam-w.1/

not
https://xf-liam.com/liam
There are some way to remove the .number in the url?

 

[Liam W]

You can have it so the /<name> stays on the profile instead if redirecting to the /member form.

That's an option of the addon?
why you don't remove that part? it looks much better https://xf-liam.com/liam

Yeah, it's an option. I'll change it to that now, give me 5 mins.

His RM still says 1.3.5 @Liam W you going to release update soon?

Hello Liam, I can not see this option to set/change the vanity name on my personal details page.
https://xf-liam.com/account/personal-details

are you maybe running a new version or I have something wrong?
I've checked my permissions and everything looks normal.
