SP2 fixed the mySites bug that I did not want fixed

Question

After installing my MOSS 2007 service pack 2 I noticed user getting redirected to mySites instead of the userdisp.aspx. I would like to have my users only go to the userdisp.aspx page. I understand that on the click of a user name the userdisp.aspx page redirects to person.aspx on port 3142 (mySites). I tried to remove the redirect with no luck. Could anybody please tell me how do I configure SharePoint to display only the userdisplay.aspx profile page rather than going to mySites. In addition, I changed the profile service link to something random I a hope that if SharePoint could not find mySites it would default to the userdisp.aspx but this did not seem to work either. Any suggestions would be welcome...

Answer 1

I was able to create a workaround by overriding the Person.aspx in the MySite with SharePoint designer.
It will redirect the viewer to a Person.aspx page listed elsewhere and remove the Source, Title and ReturnUrl query string variables added on by Person.aspx.
<%@ Page Language="VB" ClassName="ProfileRedirect" Inherits="System.Web.UI.Page" %>
<%
Dim l_initial As Boolean = True
Dim l_queryString As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
For Each key As String In Request.QueryString.AllKeys
If (key.ToLower() = "source") Then
Continue For
End If
If (key.ToLower() = "title") Then
Continue For
End If
If (key.ToLower() = "returnurl") Then
Continue For
End If
If (l_initial) Then
l_queryString.Append("?")
l_initial = False
Else
l_queryString.Append("&")
End If
l_queryString.Append(key)
l_queryString.Append("=")
l_queryString.Append(Request.QueryString(key))
Next
Response.Redirect("http://www.sharepointsite.com/search/Person.aspx" & l_queryString.ToString())
%>
Remember to add /Person.aspx to allow scripting in your MySite's web.config:
<PageParserPaths>
<PageParserPath VirtualPath="/Person.aspx" CompilationMode="Always" AllowServerSideScript="true" />
</PageParserPaths>
So in my situation, when the user goes to UserDisp.aspx, that will redirect to the MySite, then will run this script, which will redirect to the custom Person.aspx with Person.aspx?accountname=DOMAIN\User.
