Add link to user block for the g.d.o page "My groups"

bump

No, this is not what you have suggested.

This is a link on http://drupal.org pointing to http://groups.drupal.org (and probably a reciprocal link if there is not already one on g.d.o)

No, I mean adding a simple HTML link. It could be added to the contributor links block under the weblinks section or, better, inside the user login block next to "my issues". I can make the change myself if I had access

Please see this screen shot with annotations.

If you please look at the provided mockup, you will see there is NO custom code required. There are just 2 basic menu items with external links.

Also, considering that now all g.d.o accounts are linked with their d.o accounts, any of the custom functionality that is being interpreted here would be much easier. (but its not being asked for.)

**Revised Request**

Can we please add a simple html link as shown here? Nothing custom, just a link.

The link should point to "http://groups.drupal.org" - Please review the most recent mockup. The text should just be "Drupal Groups" or something similar.

thanks. Just to clarify, it was suggested to me that my original request indicated custom coding work and that I would be better off submitting a new issue that only asks for the basic link.

I do think that the custom code for properly linking to http://groups.drupal.org/groups/my (without the potential access denied if the user does not have a g.d.o account) is still a good idea and should keep this issue open to discuss it.

I would also support adding some custom code to allow for the list of groups to also be included, but this is probably too much to ask in light of the new redesign, so will not include this request in this issue.

I'm not sure I am clear on your phrasing. I will try to add more detail here:

In the navigation menu block, I would add a menu item with the text "My Groups" and the url "http://groups.drupal.org/groups/my". Then If a user is logged in AND they have an account on g.d.o (these are linked now through the bakery module), then clicking that link will take them to the list of their groups. If the user is logged in AND does not have an account on g.d.o, then the user will get an access denied error. To me this is still preferable to not having a link, but to avoid the error a small bit of custom code (a fairly simple menu hook I think) would be needed that only displays the link if the user has an account on g.d.o. (With new accounts, I'm not sure if the bakery module automatically grants access to *.d.o which might make this custom code irrelevant)

Of course, if a user is not logged in, then the whole navigation block is not displayed and is not shown.

Please keep in mind this request is separate from the other issue, which is also for a simple link added to the "Contributor's Links" block. I do not think that block uses the menu system though, so just the snippet "Drupal Groups" can be added directly for that block.

Does that clarify the request?

yes, I am aware the sites do not share databases. This part is clear. I assume there must be something in the database from the bakery module that would provide the connection between accounts. I am not sure how the module would work without this information, but regardless, if it is not available then this portion can be ignored.

The other issue should take the priority regardless of this result since it does not require any of these difficulties.
