Alter path of "My Account" Link in User Menu

Posted by kmt333 on December 14, 2012 at 5:33pm

Hi,

I basically want the My Account link generated in the user menu to point to user/%/edit instead of user. I've tried using hook_menu_alter(), but I'm clearly doing something wrong. It seems as though this should be a pretty straightforward function to place in the template file of my custom theme, but I'm struggling.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

not possible to deal with by disabling the default menu item and creating a new?

It is not possible to create a menu item with argument (%) in Drupal menu management interface. I think module 'me' may help you to do this.

Rules can do this for you.

Here's an exported rule I just whipped up to get you started.

{ "rules_redirect_user_account_pages" : {
    "LABEL" : "Redirect user account pages",
    "PLUGIN" : "reaction rule",
    "REQUIRES" : [ "rules" ],
    "ON" : [ "user_view" ],
    "IF" : [
      { "data_is" : { "data" : [ "account:uid" ], "value" : [ "site:current-user:uid" ] } }
    ],
    "DO" : [ { "redirect" : { "url" : "[account:edit-url]" } } ]
  }
}

Good luck, have fun...
