URL for a player

[+Gill & Tony]

If I know a users numeric userid, how do I construct the URL which will display their profile?

 

I thought it was something like coord.info/PR<userid> but that doesn't work.

 

Thanks

Use a GSAK macro:

	$ownerid = 123456 # change 123456 to your needs or use a form
	$corecode = NumToGsCode($ownerId)
	$CoordInfo = "http://coord.info/PR" + "$corecode"
	
#	Pause Msg="$CoordInfo"
	Clip Data=$CoordInfo
	WEB Url="$CoordInfo"

Add a form for the userid input.

Thanks  I can do that.

Or, use:

https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?id=<User Number>

Thanks.  That is what I was looking for.  Han's solution also works, but this is simpler.

But how do you find the <user number>?
The "short code" for my profile is http://coord.info/PR5Y6HZ

but I can't see 5T6HZ listed anywhere on my profile to therefore get this number for a different player's profile?

Well, it's not pretty, but it'll do...

Go to the player's profile in question, view the source code, and search for "userRef"

}; window['userRef'] = 'PR5Y6HZ';//]]>

One way to find the numeric id is to click or point the link in the user's profile and separate the numeric id from the resulting link.

Here's the URL from "View Forum Posts" on my profile

I can't see PR5Y6HZ in the URL?

The "5076747" is your player ID. You then need to convert that to base 31 (the GC-code <> GC-id tool in the Geocaching Toolbox can do that, just remove the GC prefix you get and replace it with PR) which in your case gives 5Y6HZ. Going to https://coord.info/PR5Y6HZ does indeed go to your profile.
