Considering I've had many members ask me 'How' they can post a link to their profile at my site to other websites (Twitter, FB, Gab, etc), I think this would be a great feature to have. Most all other social networking site have this already so, I do not see why UNA can't as well. If nothing else, at least having vanity URLs for Profiles. 

Here is what I was thinking of having that 'might' help refrain from messing up any existing URLs or the possibility of new Apps that get installed. Not sure if this is able to be done but what about this?

Create a table called something like sys_accounts_links or maybe sys_account_vanity

This table can contain fields labeled vanity_name and vanity_link (use whatever you want - more fields may be required)

All users to go into Settings > Account and add the Profile Name they want to use such as this (pre-populating your actual website URL):

Note: Members should be to use something different other than their 'Account Name' if they choose.

In the database table referenced above, you would see something like this:

vanity_name: Administrator

vanity_link: https://www.mywebsite.com/page/view-persons-profile?id=1 

Have a function somewhere that would automatically 're-direct' anyone who puts in https://www.mywebsite.com/Administrator  to the actual link of https://www.mywebsite.com/page/view-persons-profile?id=1

Since the page/view-persons-profile?id= is specific to ONLY viewing a person's profile, this should keep from causing any other issues with other apps.

This field should have a 'Validation' assigned to it with the following:

- Must be Unique

- Must be AlphaNumeric

- Contain no spaces or special characters

- Field is Editable

Once a member submits this in the Edit Profile, the Full URL (https://www.mywebsite.com/Administrator) should be visible in the member's actual Profile page in the 'Info' section so they can easily copy/paste this URL where ever they choose. 

Piece of Cake right? 😁😁
