CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I enabled the "contact info" menu item which goes to a link

/civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid={contact.cid}

Going to the link leads to a non-recoverable error cid (value: contact.cid) is not of the type Positive

How should the link be configured?  (I am not sure if this was a default menu item or something that someone before me created, but then disabled.

Thanks!

This was in a Navigation menu  under membership with a listing "Contact Information"   which would bring up the users Civicrm Contact Record so that they could see their memberships, Event registrations, etc.
the menu item path points to civicrm/contact/view?reset=1&cid={contact.cid}

I would like to use this rather than go to the Drupal Account, and scroll to the bottom for the "View Contact Record" link. so the contact.cid needs to point to teh current logged in user.

Related is accessing the Dashboard:  In the Drupal account edit there is a link to View Contact Dashboard  of the form
civicrm/user?reset=1&id=6477
(which is useful)

but if I go to  civicrm/dashboard   I end up with something which does not display anything (even after dropping the "Activities" to the "Dashboard").  It does create a temporary link in the Navigation menu "My Contact Dashboard" that points to the same info as what is exposed via the Drupal account view (which does list the activities).  THis menu item has to recreated though when I log back in.

Any help in exposing either the contact info or dashboard to a member via a menu item with fewer clicks would be useful! 

TIA
