Hello,

I'm looking to expand on the information gathered from users at their account level. I would like to add two new form entry pages to User Account. Currently, when you view User, the follow tabs are revealed - View, Edit, Contact. I would like to add two more - Personal and Preferences.

I'm investigating the following modules to accomplish this: CheckList and Webform

While CheckList seems it offers the functionality to create custom forms and capture user selectable data from the form, I don't see how I could easily integrate that into the User's Account Tab structure. Currently, I am under the impression that Webform might be the solution because CheckList would be outside the User Account. Am I correct in understanding that Webform should allow me to extend the form/data capture ability of any existing module function? If so, how will it present itself to the user?

Thanks Cozzi

This looks like it. Formatting is not quite as nice as I would have liked (I really liked the subgrouping offered in CheckList). I also liked the CheckLists presentation in that all options are visible each time you view Your View with previously selected options (At least that's what it looked liked from the screen shot - I think this lends a higher probability that the user will update their preferences).

Thanks - I'm going to try this out and see how it works for us.

I think (I could be wrong) what you really want to use is the profile module, which is included in core. It will not create new tabs like you are asking for, but links under the tabs when you edit the user. The information will show up in sections under the normal view tab. You could possibly theme your $tabs to include additional links to custom pages with the relevant information on them.
