Just like with drupal.org -- when a user logs into their my account page (http://drupal.org/user/#####)
they are presented with a link under Manage Newsletters (http://drupal.org/user/######/edit/newsletter).

I am attempting to do a similiar type link under my user's my account page -- however -- I believe the wild card (%) im using is not correct as the link does not function properly unless a specific user# is provided in place of the wild card place holder.

Current my link is as follows:

href="http://example.com/user/%/edit/Real%20Estate%20Alerts">Real Estate Alerts

What do I need to replace the % wild card with to make this link function properly -- thanks in advance for any help or direction.

Please not the link's HTML tags have been intentionally ommitted for purposes of posting it to the forum.

You need to provide the user id a wild card will not work.

Well you could access the the global user object.

Well after some self research and another search on the forum using different keywords -- the problems has been solved -- my thanks to all.

The answer was found at:
http://drupal.org/node/10036

My working code:

global $user;
echo '<a href="/user/' . $user->uid . '/edit/subscriptions">Current Subscriptions</a>';

and it works like a Lucky Charm.

Does anyone see any issues with this code?
