[support] How to provide users with personal homepages?

[Metzler, David]

The bio module is the closest thing that I'm aware of to a personal home page, but you should also of course, look at blogs. Use bio with the views module to provide an index of users with the personal home page. 
 
I've also developed a little module based off of blog_theme (I haven't decided if is worthy of project publishing) that lets you, for specific content type's, force the use of the author's selected theme, do give additional flexibility.  If there's interest, I'll publish this as well.

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.
