How to pass a variable $ _ GET in a page?

Question

I will wish to create a privileged space for some users.

I create a role 'Candidate'. I assigned permission 'access user profiles' has this role. I create a user that uses this role. (eg, foo)

Secondly, I create a menu (see below)

$items['candidate/%candidate'] = array(
  'title'            => t('My candidate space'),
  'description'      => '',
  'page callback'    => 'cel_configuration_custom_page',
  'page arguments'   => array(1),
  'access arguments' => array('access user profiles'),
  'access callback' => TRUE,
);

Then a linked function

function cel_configuration_custom_page($args){
  return 'custom';
}

Finally, I have emptied the cache.

When I go on the candidate/1 page with my account 'toto' or account 'admin', I have not found page.

Why?

Answer 1

Try the following code:

    $items['candidate/%user'] = array(
      'title'            => t('My candidate space'),
      'page callback'    => 'cel_configuration_custom_page',
      'page arguments'   => array(1),
      'access arguments' => array('access user profiles'),
    );

    function cel_configuration_custom_page($account){
      return 'Custom page for ' . $account->name;
    }

You can't use %candidate as an argument for user accounts. Also, if you want to restrict access by a particular permission, don't set access callback to TRUE as that will grant access to everyone.

Thanks for your answers.

To solve the problem I use as my variable in url% or ['candidate /%'] and it works properly.
