+Team Four Paw Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Is there an alternative to guid? For example when linking to a cache I sometimes use ?wp=gcrh7x in the url instead of ?guid=5e9600b5-cca3-415b-a42f-04545dca8bef for obvious reasons. Is there a "?wp=" for a user account? I already have a field for geocaching on the forum I admin in the user's profile that links back to their profile here on geocaching.com. Problem is users have a hard time finding their guid. It would nice if there was a means to pass their caching name in the url rather than their guid. Link to comment
+DavidMac Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Yes, there is a way! Hover over a username here in the forums. The number at the very end of the URL after the "id=" is your user ID. You can just instruct users to visit their profile, hover over the "See the forum posts for this user" link, then copy the digits from the end of that link. Then, append that number to the end of this URL to link to their profile: "http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=" For example, yours looks like this: http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?id=128064 Link to comment

I tried that and it didn't work for me. But I think GC was having a "moment" and I was too disillusioned to think more deeply about it. That's perfect. Thanks, Link to comment

Thanks, If you have spaces in your user name you need to replace them with a plus sign http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=Team+Four+Paw Other special characters ! *'();:@&=+$,/?%#[] may need to be encoded as %hh where hh is the hexadecimal ASCII value of the character Edited March 6, 2008 by tozainamboku Link to comment
