ISSUE SUMMARY:
I want to disable custom profile urls for users.
The problem is, that it crashes with Joomla SEF urls, if JomSocial is set to Homepage and more pages with SEF names are set up.

STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1. Set Homepage to Jomsocial Community
2. Set up a profile and enter "page1" as custom profile url
3. Set up a menu entry to one of your pages and set SEF url to "page1"
4. Try to enter page via menu

RESULT
Profile is displayed
EXPECTED RESULT
Page should be displayed
BROWSER
Chrome, newest Version

Hi, Chris.

This is not a bug... if you create menu item with alias "page1" and Joomla! SEF will be enabled... then it will redirect to profile not page that was set up in menu item. Reason is obvious: you called profile URL not a page URL as profile has this URL on the first place. Just use different menu item alias as the one "profile1" is already in use.

Hi Michal,

thank you for your quick response.
That's the cause, I want to disable custom profile urls, since otherways I can't control what the users will use as a custom profile urls.
Even if I set up my page to "page2" now since "page1" is already taken, who says one user won't take "page2" as well ?
To stop this, I just want to disable custom profile urls.
Is there a way to do it ?
A configuration or a custom code solution ?

Thank you very much !

Hi, Chris.

There is no backend option to disable it... except to disable SEF in Joomla!
So you need to hack template file.
Copy this file:

ROOT/components/com_community/templates/jomsocial/layouts/profile.preferences.php

to:

ROOT/templates/your-template/html/com_community/layouts (if you don't have any of those folders, feel free to create them)

Then edit file and replace this (lines 84-92)

<?php  if ( $jConfig->get('sef') ) { ?>

            <div class="joms-form__group">
                <span><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_YOUR_PROFILE_URL'); ?></span>
                <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_YOUR_CURRENT_PROFILE_URL', $prefixURL); ?>
            </div>

            <?php } ?>

<?php  /*if ( $jConfig->get('sef') ) { ?>

            <div class="joms-form__group">
                <span><?php echo JText::_('COM_COMMUNITY_YOUR_PROFILE_URL'); ?></span>
                <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_COMMUNITY_YOUR_CURRENT_PROFILE_URL', $prefixURL); ?>
            </div>

            <?php } */?>
