Custom user experience
I’ve got a project where the client wants users to be able to move around their landing page to organize it the way they want. I was thinking about tying a content type to their account that just had weights for each section and then building the landing page based on those weights. This is a really simple solution, though, and I was wondering if perhaps there was something more elegant with the ability to drag and drop the sections into their new spaces and then save the layout. If a module already exists, that would be nice. Thoughts? Joel
Sounds like a job for Panels. * Ryan LeTulle*

I’m not exactly an expert at panels, but I don’t want users to change the whole site’s display, just THEIR user experience. Can Panels do that? Cuz the Panels interface is pretty much perfect for moving stuff around, so it would be an excellent choice if it can affect just the one user each time.

I think you're actually looking for the homebox module, which implements the customized user functionality now found in D.O. http://drupal.org/project/homebox TT On 2011-03-28, at 3:18 PM, Joel Willers wrote:

Hi Joel, I believe what you're looking for is Homebox. It has a draggable feature and works just like igoogle. Here's the link........ http://drupal.org/project/homebox Hope this helps.
