How to I add ?username=$username

You have to build menu hierarchy descriptional file dynamically on server side. To do so rename appropriate file (items.js or menu_items.js) to the one with extention you need: items.php, for example. And then you can write any server-parsed code there.

Thx Nik.

One more problem.
I use cgi which looks for an http header for the script to execute properly.

Can I modify the items.js to run a function with the value of $username as input and then create var MENU_ITEMS ?
If yes, are they any tutotials that explain
such a process?

Thx

Sure, you can modify items.js in a way you need it. It is possible to generate MENU_ITEMS variable depending on any input parameters. The only thing Tigra Menu needs from items.js is correct declaration of items hierarchy, and it does not care of how you build this declaration on a server side. So I think you should just read some Perl (CGI) tutorials.
