Link a user to menu link
Draupnir - July 2, 2009 - 10:55
Hey everyone. I'm pretty much brand new to Drupal and anything to do with PHP, so forgive me if this is a silly question.
Basically, what I want to do is set up some of my links, such as blog, gallery and so on in the primary links menu. Obviously with it being a social site, I don't want to manually input for example "blog/1" for every single user created. What ways can I go about doing this automatically?
Basically like myspace, or facebook, where you click on "my gallery" or "my inbox". Want to relate these links to the specific user.
Thanks!
View Modules
Using the Views Module you can generate lists of content including dynamic menus relating to your users. You'll need to look into the arguments part of the module. It's quite a hard module to get to grips with at first as you need to know alot of the drupal terminology but once mastered you can build just about anything. It's a well documented module and is geting moved into core drupal eventually.

Thanks for the reply plord, I
Thanks for the reply plord, I appreciate it alot.
So there is no easier way to do this? No simple command I can use with say, pathauto or something similar that will simply send the user to his/her own guestbook?
Thanks again.
What modules
What modules are you using ?. ie if you have got the blog module installed it exposes a blog menu which does what you want.
