Dear,

Can you please guide me how to setup all the urls of site from default

http://www.abc.in/users/xyz

to

http://www.abc.in/xyz or

http://www.xyz.abc.in/ ??

and same for Groups also
as currently the group urls are like

http://www.abc.in/groups/1

and what if we want Group Name instead of that number

Don't think that this can be done.

This is a custom modification. You need to insert into group's URL name instead ID (see plugin's routing). And after you need to process group's name instead ID.

Also, you need to make group's name unique and do not allow to create groups with name which already exists.

I think it'd definitely be a good idea for future versions of the program. I can see a lot of people wanting the option.

All directories that OxWall needs could be set to prohibited names so no one can name their account ox_plugins and overwrite the directory or cause errors. :)

Just a thought to make OxWall even better and better as time goes on...
