Menu Link To Profile URL

[CherryGirl69]

I have added an item to the menu called "My Profile" I used the URL;- http://www.mysite.com/index.php?/profile/ to try to direct to it but it does not work. When I go to my own profile page I see my name after this URL but obviously I cannot use that for a menu members can use as I want them to go to their own profiles. 

What do I need to put at the end of the URL please?

hi, did you find a direct URL for profiles ?

i am looking for the same thing.

You can create a .php page (or something via Pages) and redirect to \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->url(). This will redirect to the profile of who clicked in the link. Of course you need to check if it isn't a guest.

Thanks Adriano, we have pages, can you epxlian more please ?

Thats should be a native option in IP forums dont think so ?

I'm on a mobile phone right now. Will try something later when I reach my PC.

Thanks man

Another option...

Using a page made on Pages app:

• Add a new page: Manual HTML
• In Page Filename use userprofile or any other name, except profile. It won't allow because profile already exists.

Use in CONTENT:

{{if \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id}}
	{{$url = \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->url();}}
	{{\IPS\Output::i()->redirect( $url );}}
{{endif}}

• In the Menu tab, enable Add to front navigation menu.
• Remove GUESTS from the page Permissions.

 

My server is TOO slow, so don't bother. See it working:

Thank you, I will try later

[CherryGirl69]

I am still unsure how to add it to the menu, what is the URL please?

[Adriano Faria]

If you do as I said, you don't have to add it to the menu because Pages will add it for you:

Quote

In the Menu tab, enable Add to front navigation menu.

Anyway, the URL will be http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?/userprofile/

[CherryGirl69]

Thank you, I could not see the Menu Tab, Add to front navigation menu.

I added the URL in the Add New Menu Item.

 

Thank you again

[Janyour]

thank you very much.

I was just playing with the Pages and did Add New Page again and this time there was the Menu Tab. It was not there when I made the Profile page before.
