Hello
I've enabled the profile module and created a custom set of fields for a profile under (Home » administer » settings » profiles). How can I determine the link to allow users to add-to or edit their profile. Is it tied to their user screen?

take a look at the way the myaccount menu item is created. may help.
Hello I believe I created
Hello
I believe I created the extra fields correctly. The fields that are supposed to be part of the registration process are showing up. But I can't create a link to a screen where a logged in user can fill in or edit their extended profile fields that are not part of the registration process.
I've tried these:
(q=user and q=user/3/edit)
These just show the basic user fields none of the extended profile fields are present.
(q=profile)
This will just list all the users. If I click one of the links associated with on I go to the (q=user) screen for that user.
I couldn't find any information on myaccount. Is this part of the standard drupal install?
Accessing profiles
On my site I've got a menu item called My account, from here you click Edit > Company profile (or whatever you've named it).
only the admin user can access the extended profile
I'm able to access the profile screens logged in as the super user, but not as other users. Using a link like this. Where can I configure user permissions for the profile module? I'd like all users to be able to view/edit their profile data.
/?q=user/1/edit/Personal+Information
might help
this might help, unless I understood you wrong.
I have installed the module 'me': http://drupal.org/project/me
so if you just add a link and set the path to user/me/edit,
or you could also put $user->uid in the link with php, I haven't done that so I don't know, I just think with th 'me' module it's just really easy.
Access controls
It sounds like you need to set your access controls to allow all users the access to profiles under:
Administer > User management > Access Control – Then on that page scroll down to 'access user profiles' under 'user module' and select the users you want to allow access to profiles.
Also there's a Visibility check box when you are setting up the different profiles you want to display.
hello thanks for the help.
hello
thanks for the help.
I've checked "Home » administer >> access control" for "authenticated user" it's set to "access user profiles".
Under "Home » administer » settings >> profiles" each field in the profile has it's visiblity set to.
(Public field, content shown on profile page but not used on member list pages.)
Is there somewhere else in the workflow I may need to check?
