Profile Button

[BlitzBoards]

I'm trying to create a custom menu bar on the top of my page. All of these buttons will be visible to both guests and users, and I want to include an "Edit Profile" button that brings the user to their profile and guests to an error screen. However, I can't seem to find a link that will bring the users directly to their profiles. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

$yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>"; }
   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>";
   } else {
      $euser = urlencode($username);
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
      if($enable_notification) { $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=shownotify\">$img[notification]</a>"; }
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=logout\">$img[logout]</a>";
   }
thats the code for menu in subs.php! how you can see an guest can´t go to editprofil! if you will allow that change this code to

$yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>"; }
   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
   } else {
      $euser = urlencode($username);
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
      if($enable_notification) { $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=shownotify\">$img[notification]</a>"; }
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=logout\">$img[logout]</a>";
   } now a guest can see login register and profil as button! only an example!

Here's basically what I'm trying to do. Create a profile link similar to the one on the top-right of this page: http://www.fftodayforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

I believe you misunderstood my question. I want to create a text-based profile button that brings logged-in users to their own profile.

no, but the code i posted, shows this button (well, if you want also a link) for both, guest and user!

to change the buttons to a text link only change in:

Code Select Expand

$yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=_blank>$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
   if($settings[7] == 'Administrator') { $yymenu = $yymenu.$menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=admin\">$img[admin]</a>"; }
   if($username == "Guest") { $yymenu .= $menusep."<a href=\"$cgi;action=login\">$img[login]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=register\">$img[register]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
   } else {
      $euser = urlencode($username);
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=profile;user=$euser\">$img[profile]</a>";
      if($enable_notification) { $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=shownotify\">$img[notification]</a>"; }
      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=logout\">$img[logout]</a>";
   }
all $img[xxxxx] to text!

btw: there is a option in "settings and preferences" textmenu instead buttonmenu!

I know, but I want to create it in the context of my own menu using HTML, not a php or such script.

this is very difficult cause the username is needed to go to the profil! why not changing the template as your indexpage? inside this template you can use <yabb tags>!
