Just to clarify, are you saying your profile page has a custom URL (i.e.,
something other than /default/user/profile), or that it simply has a custom
view (i.e., you need to use a view other than the standard
/views/default/user.html view)? If the latter, there are two options.
First, rather than having a separate view file, you could add a condition
to the user.html view that displays a custom view when request.args(0) ==
'profile'. The other option is specifying a custom view in the user()
function:
def user():
if request.args(0) == 'profile':
response.view = 'default/profile.html'
