The way I create my menus is causing a slight problem. I define the style in my style-sheet and create a module with html in it, here’s an example of the HTML:

<ul class="cmenu">
    <li><a href="">Link1</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Link2</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Link3</a></li>
    <li><a href="">Link4</a></li>
</ul>

My reason being I need multiple menus through out the site all with different links (much more simple than using dnn:NAV with options) and it’s working very well.

But trying to create a link to a user profile in this way doesn’t seem possible. When visiting my user profile for example I am taken to this link: “../UserProfile/tabid/57/userId/1/Default.aspx” which means to me that DNN is dynamically creating the link and the page is created from the provided link. Please correct me if I’m wrong here.

Also I would like to create new input fields, how do I go about this?

I’ve been developing in PHP/HTML/CSS/JS for years now, ASP.NET is quite new to me and I couldn’t find anything on the subject, thus my questions.

I’m very familiar with C# and Visual Studio, I would like to use these tools to extend on the current Users and Roles structure if possible.

Thanks in advance!!

    The URL for the profile is generated server side using the NavigateUrl method within the core.

    To solve your HTML module issue in a primitive manner you could enable token replacement and use [User:UserID] as a token in the URL (Replace the 1 with the token in your example).

    However, that doesn’t work well for unauthenticated users as it will try to take them to -1. Honestly creating a menu might result you to create a custom module for it.
