Menu Item to Edit K2 Profile Front end? was created by yaksushi
I'm trying to set up my site like getk2.org. When you log in your presented with the "My Account" menu item where you can edit your k2 profile. I can't for the life of me find the correct menu item in my Joomla 1.7 site. How can you have a menu item that links to your k2 profile allowing you to edit your details and user extended fields?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Try publishing the K2 user module in and take a look at the url for my account
You can put
YOURSITE.COM/index.php/login-bottom/profile?layout=edit
into a menu choice if necessary and if a user is logged in it should work

Hi
I had the same pb and followed your solution.
I got the link, but the pb is that it leads me on the normal joomla edit profile form, and not on the K2 one.
I can edit the joomla profile but not the K2 user profile (so can't have access to the avatar, description, etc .....).
Also, in the K2 parameters when I set activate the K2 user profile on YES, if I don't enable the K2_Recaptcha_on_registration on NO ==> can't register because it tells me "wrong recaptcha" (I precise I entered the recaptcha's keys fine), and if I set it on YES then it doesn't show me the ReCaptcha and of course, I can't register either as it tells me that the words entered don't correspond to the one showed !
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance

For the edit k2 profile try this -
create a new menu item
type=external url
link= http : // YOURSITE.COM/index.php?option=com_users&view=profile&layout=edit
(remove spaces)

Hello,
I tried the above things, it works.
But the problem is it shows the Joomla editing fields and not the avatar or other profile fields which are K2 specific.
Why is this the case?
Thanks
