I need to add a link in the left sidebar as a shortcut for users getting straight to ‘My profile’. I want to add the link through a custom section, like so: [Screenshot 2023-06-13 at 10.46.16] Clues? I see you can meck about with js but I figure there MUST be a dynamic value to pass for the currently logged in user. Just can’t find the syntax for it :slight_smile:

/my/summary does what you want. Not sure where you can easily find that, though.

Couldn’t find any #tips-and-tricks #profile topic about this. Might be a good and short candidate… Not sure about the right keywords to use so we can find it easily with the search though. :slight_smile:

I think just “how to link to user profile” would do it unless those words are all too generic to make the search work. I got a link to How To Link To A User's Tabs? I in the suggested topics below this post. And Dynamically link to user account and some others.

I’m just bad at search apparently :sweat_smile:

Not bad, just worse than the AI. And so it begins :joy_cat:
