Assuming you have
auth.settings.extra_fields=[Field('age','integer'),Field('country')]
auth.define_tables(username=True)
you define
def userinfo()
user = db.auth_user(username=request.args(0)) or redirect(URL('error'))
return dict(user=user)
with a view
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<html>
<body>
Some Social Website
<h1>User Name: {{=user.username}}</h1>
<h2>Age: {{=user.age}}</h2>
<h3>Country: {{=user.country}}</h3>
</body>
</html>
Than you would have to make urls into
http://hostname/app/default/userinfo/jsmith
Using a Twitter like syntax you can try create a web2py/routes.py file:
# begin
routes_in = [
('/~/$anything','/app/default/userinfo/$anything'),
]
#end
routes_out = [
('/app/default/userinfo/$anything','/~/$anything'),
]
and use http://hostname/~jsmith
The ~ will help you avoid confusion between a username and a web2py
app-name.
