I would LOVE to be able to change the ‘default’ value to say ‘My Profile Wall’ and then hard code it so it using the php method you mentioned above so it gives users the option of redirecting themselves to their profile wall.
It sounds like the function is more complex than I realize.
A use case, just for clarification, would be this;
There is a plugin that inserts a dropdown box in the log in screen.
As the admin you can select what values go into the dropdown box.
In order to activate values for population in the dropdown you give them a name and assign a url.
This would allow me to show users who are logging in multiple options for where they can be redirected to after the log in. The drop down box could have a value for, all group activity, all site activity, a specific page with featured members, or any number of things to help the user be exposed to more pages as part of their logging in.
But since there is no 1 url for directing a member to their profile page I was hoping there was an html variable to insert into the url to redirect members. But if there is not because the function of logging in requires php than I understand and can work towards a different solution.
I’d rather not implement a blanket solution to the core of the site. I’d like to know how to construct an individual link to redirect all users to their individual profile wall.
Is there a parameter that when inserted into a common html link it represents the dynamic url of the users actual username?
And the question answered by @henrywright is what I am going for only I need the dynamic value to represent the username so anyone who logs in will be directed to their own profile wall.
Admittedly I am not a programmer, I know a decent amount of html but not enough to really understand what is happening, I’m just trying to avoid paying $50 an hour to a programmer who will take 30 seconds to do this for me.
How could this be configured to alternatively pre-populate their wall with a message from me? Preferably one that includes a youtube.com embedded video?
Again the goal is to give them a nice welcome message and short tour of the site and how they can use it.
