Moving "my blog" and "my account" to new menus

I wish I knew too... The title "Navigation" may not always be appropriate. Perhaps it could be changed in menu.module ?

Hi,
I've moved the my blog item before simply by enabling it's parent ("blogs"), moving the parent, and then disabling the parent again.

As for my account. I just wrestled with that one yesterday and spent way too much time breaking things and putting them back together. I essentially tried to emulate the my blog parent scenario--just make a parent, then move, then disable parent. In the end that did NOT seem to work because my parent item kept causing all sorts of havoc because parent items have to have the path root... so the "Accounts" parent of "My Account" had to have the path "user/". Because this path is also used via the "user list" standard menu item, the system DID NOT like this. I ended up moving the "Accounts" parent, then removing it from user.module (removed hack), and in the end I got the my account menu item "freed". That said, this is probably the least repeatable, worst method of getting things done that I've ever taken part in.

If anyone else has had real success, please let us know.

Hi. I finally got around to revisiting this. I'm running 4.6, so if it the line#s don't match, you're probably not running the same version.

The menu part of user.module that effects our friend "my account" is on line 696:

    //Your personal page
    if ($user->uid) {
      $items[] = array('path' => 'user/'. $user->uid, 'title' => t('my account'),
        'callback' => 'user_page', 'access' => TRUE,
        'type' => MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM);
    }

Change it to add the parent:

    //Your personal page
    if ($user->uid) {
      $items[] = array('path' => 'user', 'title' => t('my account parent'),
        'callback' => 'user_page', 'access' => TRUE,
        'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM);	
      $items[] = array('path' => 'user/'. $user->uid, 'title' => t('my account'),
        'callback' => 'user_page', 'access' => TRUE,
        'type' => MENU_DYNAMIC_ITEM);
    }

Then you can move the parent and disable, according to your whims.
