How to Add an Account Link

[Moved here from another thread. Nick]

You can change the wording for email validation requests in user_signin_language.php. The language for forgotten password emails is in main_language.php.

Thanks for the point in the right direction. So now I arrive at my next stupid question. The email states that the user can change their password on their account page, which is certainly true. However I don't see an easy way for the user to know where their account page is. I suppose they could submit something, and then click on their own name. Or if we have the Gravatar thing enabled they can click on their Gravatar up on the menu. I can't seem to find the User Profile / Account settings as an option for the regular text menu though, which seems odd to me. I've looked through multiple themes, and I don't see it on any examples sites. Without running Gravatar, how is the user supposed to easily get to their profile?

It's assumed that you'd be running some kind of avatar plugin, but if not, try this:

In your navigation.php template, change:

<!-- Navigation Bar -->
<ul class="navigation">
    <?php   if ($h->currentUser->loggedIn) {
                if($h->isActive('avatar')) {
                    $h->setAvatar($h->currentUser->id, 16);
                    echo $h->linkAvatar();
                }
            } ?>

to

 <!-- Navigation Bar -->
 <ul class="navigation">
     <?php   if ($h->currentUser->loggedIn) {
                 echo "<li><a href='" .  $h->url(array('page'=>'account')) . "'>" .  $h->lang["main_user_theme_account"] . "</a></li>";
                 } ?>

Excellent, thanks again. I was actually on the right track with trying to add this myself, but then figured I should ask the question and get an official answer.
