<html><DIV>Hi, I have a website where members can sign up.</DIV>
<DIV>I want to give each of my members their own URL, in the format <A href="http://www.website.com/member_name">www.website.com/member_name</A></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>But I don't want to create a Zope folder for each member. Instead, I want to be able to find out what the member name is, and then fetch some data in my database based on the member name and then display it.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>This is like transforming the URL <A href="http://www.website.com/member_name">www.website.com/member_name</A> into <A href="http://www.website.com/unique_url?arg=member_name">www.website.com/unique_url?arg=member_name</A></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>How can I do that ?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Rémi.</DIV>
