How to Create Menu Link to Twitter Account User Page [#654588]

Hi,

Currently on my site it is very difficult for the user to figure out where to enter in their Twitter user info. They need to go to User/%/edit/twitter and the in the user/%/edit section it's hard to see where the option is to enter the twitter info...

I want to create a primary link for my menu to the twitter log-in page but that is a different link for every user. I tried entering the path: edit/%/edit/twitter but that didn't work because it wants a number instead of %. i tried copying the code into a new page but the "submit" button didn't work. I tried installing the "Me" module but that ruined my whole page for some reason...and anyway I don't want users to have that because I need them to have unique links to share with others outside of the page...

I'm pretty new to drupal so I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this...

anyone have any ideas?

the page if you want to see is at: http://www.ithappenedhere.org

thanks!

I'm also using the Me module and it would be great if the Twitter module was integrated to work with it. Right now I get "'s Tweets" on the Tweets page and the Edit Twitter Account works only part of the time, depending where you came from. If you come from a page using "me" it will not resolve correctly. Integration with Me would create more flexibility for menus and resolve this issue.

thanks

I did more investigating and turned on the option on the Me module labeled Redirect to uid. This fixed the navigation from pages like account edit to the Tweets page view. However, somehow a direct menu entry to user/me/tweets does not redirect to user/[uid]/tweets, so I had to remove that menu entry. At least it is now usable with the Twitter tab in the view and/or block embedded in the Advanced Profile panel.
