[support] How to provide users with personal homepages?

[Leo Burd]

Hi Ben, thanks for your message!

Unfortunately, no one else has replied to my question about personal homepages in Drupal. That's quite intriguing, isn't it? :(

Anyway, I'm kind of curious about your block-page idea, but I'm not sure I could visualize it. Would it be possible for your page to be the displayed whenever one goes to a user account (and leave the existing profile as a link on the side)? For me, a page with a large text area that accepted html links and allowed users to include images would be more than good! If that page could be edited using tinymce or similar would be even better! What do you think?

Best,

.L.

  Hi Leo,

  That's a good question.  I wish I had a better answer; maybe someone else will.

  Enable avatars, of course, for a start.

  It would also be pretty easy to make a custom block that shows a random picture or pictures from a user's photo gallery and only displays on their user/## page, another block that does the same with their most recent blog entry, etc.

  I don't know of any module for user pages that users customize themselves, though.  I might eventually find the time to put the above blocks into a simple module (if your project has a budget, someone else at Agaric will probably be able to make time!).  It would still require customizing the theme to make the place for the blocks.  I'd be interested in a report back on what you've found out there, or what you think of throwing blocks onto the user page.

    Hello there,

    I am creating a website for youth and my users would really like to be able 
    to configure personal webpages with images, links, text, etc.  So far, they
    only have their personal profile page and that's not attractive at all. What
    modules do people usually recommend for that? Suggestions are very welcome! 

    Thanks in advance,

    Leo
