Drupal add menu link to user menu

Question

In Drupal 7 module development, supposedly by using the hook_menu function, how can I add menu link to the user menu? Here.

I found easily it in the administration but I can't find how to do it programmatically, I haven't found any menu type that would fit this situation. Thanks.

You could specify the menu_name in the data returned by your hook_menu():

function MYMODULE_menu() {
  $items['example'] = array(
    'title' => 'Example Page',
    'page callback' => 'example_page',
    'menu_name' => 'user-menu', // << Menu name
    'weight' => 12, // << position
    'access arguments' => array(
      'access content',
    ),
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );
  return $items;
}

By default, it is added in the Navigation menu.

Doesn't seem to work to me. I cleared the cache after this but the item won't show. If I want to the menu link to send the user to another page, do i simply put "drupal_goto("url") to the callback function?

Yes, you could do drupal_goto("user") to redirect to the user page.

I've checked and it's working as expected. Could you post your $item please?

Oh, then it doesn't seem to work, the link won't show -- I'll update the post
