Lets say you want to give each user a quick access to their data in the users table. You can do so by adding a 'My profile' link to the main menu.
A link to the user profile page looks like this: users_edit.asp?editid1=XXXX. We assume that the Login table name is users and XXXX is the value of the primary key field in users table.
1. Save the ID of the user account in a session variable. For this purpose, add the following code to AfterSuccessfulLogin event:
SESSION("user_id")=data("id")
In this example id is the primary key column name in the Login table.
2. Create a new menu item via Menu Builder:
•Link type: Application page.
•Link to: Users (login table) List page.
•Link text: My profile.
3. Now add the following code to MenuItem: Modify event:
if menuItem.getTitle()="My profile" then
menuItem.setUrl_p1("users_edit.asp?editid1=" & Session("user_id"))
end if
ModifyMenuItem = true
