Hello closetconnextion,

The correct way to do it would be as Team Webgalli commented. Develop a plugin or use the redirector plugin.

To solve it you can edit the file /elgg1.7.1/actions/login.php (this is ususally not recommended as this would be to edit the elgg core, this is for you to understand it). Edit line 40 and replace it for:
forward("pg/profile/".$_SESSION['user']->username);

To add the profile link into the tools menu you should add the following line to any start.php (/elgg1.7.1/mod/profile/start.php would be ok).
add_menu(elgg_echo('profile_on_menu'), $CONFIG->wwwroot . "pg/profile/" . $_SESSION['user']->username);

I hope this helps

Regards.

Hi gushbellino - thanks man - will try this out later on and see if it can work for me - am running 1.7.1.
