How can I use content of webaddress field in menu?

16 years 6 months ago #46457 by svogel
I have a custom webaddress field "myAlbum" in user profiles. The field is filled with a link to the user gallery (photo album) of the user.
When she wants to visit her gallery, all she has to do is go to her profile and click the field content.

I'd like to go one step further though, and add a menu item "My Album" to the user menu in Joomla. When clicking on it, the user again should be taken to the above user gallery photo album, the link thereof should be taken from the users' "myAlbum" field.

How can I get this wished behaviour?

You would have to write a little bit of software, either module computing dynamically link or CB plugin with a static link and a redirect.

I see. Thanks for the quick answer, beat!

Do you know of any such plugin? I guess, I am not the only one on earth with this requirement! :-)
