CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

A user can click on the My Account link and it brings them to the Drupal account information which they are allowed to change their basic contact information but I want to provide a link in it's place that they would click on that would take them directly to their Civicrm profile page and edit their information there. How do I go about doing that? I know I can create a link civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&gid=N but how do I dynamically add the users id number? I'm very confused.

I'm developing on an install of Xampp and using localhost/drupal58 as my root.

So, I type http://localhost/drupal58/civicrm/profile/view?gid=1&reset=1 and it returns me to /localhost/xampp.

Why does it do that?

I can get to my profile in a round about way @ http://localhost/drupal58/index.php?q=civicrm/contact/view&reset=1&cid=106 (this is a non-admin test user)
but when I click the edit link it tells me:

Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
You do not have access to this page
Return to Home Page.

If I use: http://localhost/drupal58/index.php?q=civicrm/profile/view?gid=1&reset=1

I get an error:
Sorry. A non-recoverable error has occurred.
Could not find valid value for gid

Return to home page.

Okay, I enabled clean URL's and input http://localhost/drupal58/civicrm/profile/edit?gid=1&reset=1 into the address bar but all that comes up is the address information to edit. How do we allow access to all the users profile information, not just one particular civicrm profile #?

If I replace gid=1 with gid=2 I get the next set of profile information but I want gid=1,2&3 all on the same page to edit.

I want the user to be able to edit the same page the admin sees by loading their civicrm profile.
