Hi,
Can't believe I can't think how to do this...
I want a "My Account" primary menu link that goes to: /user/<uid>/edit as opposed to just the normal: /user
I tried using "user/%/edit" as the menu path but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Shai
I thought I had done this before but I guess not - I found this on the forums when I was looking - http://drupal.org/node/102162

Steve and Mike,
Thanks so much for responding. I'm going to use that simple work-around that Steve pointed. Maybe not the most elegant, but certainly fast and maintainable.

Hey Shai,
That forum page is a little out of date -- if you're using D6:
In template.php:
function mytheme_preprocess_page(&$vars) { //See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/template_preprocess_page/6 global $user; //other stuff... $vars['edit_profile_link'] = $user->uid ? l(t("Edit my profile"), "user/" . $user->uid . "/edit") : NULL; }
In page.tpl.php:
if($edit_profile_link) { print $edit_profile_link; }
You could technically put all of that in page.tpl.php, but for separation of concerns do it this way. I've added this to the forum page as well.
Hope this helps!

You could also use http://drupal.org/project/me and make just a normal menu link user/me/edit.
