Views argument - Bookmarks by username

There's a subtle problem:

Telling a friend to visit [...] mysite.com/bookmarks/username

This URL must be found on the page somewhere (or in the browser's address bar), or else you won't be able to right click on it, 'copy to clipboard', and paste it into your email message.

And that's the problem. Drupal 5 itself can't do that (You can't put a 'bookmarks/david' on the menu, in Drupal 5, without using some custom code).

So you'll have to write custom code anyway. And if you'll be writing custom code anyway, what's the use in the half baked cake we're going to give you by supporting a username argument?

But there's one more argument against supporting a username argument:

Bookmarks are just one goody. There are infinite other goodies: galleries, buddies, posts, etc. A solution that supports only one goody is not 'The Drupal Way'.

Fortunately, I see some easy solution:

Using this module you can already put an 'example.com/user/123/bookmarks' tab on the profile page. All you have to do is create a 'bookmarks/david' alias for this URL. I just had a quick look at the 'pathauto' module and I'm surprised to see that, it seems, it doesn't have this functionality. Coding this is quite trivial. I suggest opening a feature request against pathauto.

Please let us know your thoughts on this. I might be wrong on some (or all! ;-) points.
