On the Profile page, public profiles of users will be displayed based on the wildcard part of the URL. We will set the page's URL to /Members/{UserName}. This means that if you type <sitename>/Members/David.aspx into the browser, David will be recognized as the wildcard part of the URL and David's profile will be displayed by this page.

 

The profile is displayed using the User public profile web part and is based on the cms.user.EditProfileCommunity alternative form. You can find more information on how to modify the alternative form in this chapter.
