That's great, thanks!

Recent and relevant, and filled with examples. Thank you kindly!

Hey again.

I've spent a while messing around with many of the hooks and and templates trying to figure this out. We can already get the post count of a user with relative ease, but much of the information from the user object is missing from the user object that we access via {posts.user} .

I was wondering if we could add fields from the main user object (the ones you'd see at /api/user/Person1) to the other object (more specifically, if it is possible, which hooks I'd need to access and a general method).

@PitaJ While researching this, I noticed that all posts and topics then when used will jump to them. In my case, my last post was:

community.nodebb.org/post/74396

Is there a way to replace all the text based urls with that instead?

Bumping this, as I'm still searching for a solution.

Heya @jtsimoes. The main issue with this approach is that it would disabled post jumping (i.e. if you add a /3 on the end of a topic url, for example, it would jump you to the third post). Also when people directly link to topic it'll still carry the full url.

Edit for example:

https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13917/remove-category-topic-names-from-url/3
# This would jump me to this post.
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/13917/3
# This would not.

Heya. I'm just getting started with NodeBB and am enjoying my experience thus far, I find it very customisable and am enjoying slowly making my own theme as part of a learning curve. I was wondering if it was possible to remove the category and topic names from the urls and just rely entirely on their IDs. I'm no stranger to working with JS, so if some of that is required, just some pointers would do!

Example:

https://YourUrl.com/category/3/nodebb-development
becomes
https://YourUrl.com/category/3/
and
https://YourUrl.com/topic/2/very-long-test-thread-name-you-get-the-idea
becomes
https://YourUrl.com/topic/2/

I obviously know that you can just crop out the text from the url manually, and it will still send you to the right place, I was just wanting to remove that step so that any user visiting the page would just see the shortened versions, not the really long text filled urls.

Thanks in advance.
