MySite beta
![]()
I’ve had two good weeks to work on upgrading the MySite module.
MySite 5.2 beta 3 is now out for testing.
This release adds a number of new features and requires running update.php. A quick overview:
- Drag and drop sorting of page content across multiple page regions
- Blocks and Views support
- The ability to create ‘droplets’ of content that function like Google Gadgets
- An administrative option to remove all blocks from the MySite page, which lets users have complete control over page content
- An icon system for attractive browsing of content options
- Paginated content browsing, based on content category
- Multi-step content settings for a simpler UI
- Support for user-specific settings for individual content items
- CCK / generic node support — track all posts of a specific type
- User tracking — all posts by specific users
- Profile support — users can add selected profile elements to their MySite page
- A new three-column layout
The new layouts and css tricks have been tested on Firefox / Mac only, so additional platform testing would be appreciated.
Thanks to
The development process tapped a lot of great Drupal resources. Here are a few specific thanks.
- jjeff for the jQuery Update and jQuery Interface modules. (Both are required for drag-and-drop)
- starbow for his work on AHAH and ajax-based tables and forms
- merlinofchaos for tips and tricks regarding page layouts
- dww for (again) answering dumb cvs questions
- jonbob for the API module
- douggreen for the Coder module
- All the folks who submitted bug reports and patches
I still have some work to do, including finishing the documentation and porting the contributed plugins up to 5.x.2.
Please test the module and report issues at the issue queue.

HI,
I am setting up yet another social networking and music download site and I have been playing around with your module on my test server. It seems very good so far, I’m new to drupal and I’m very glad this existed when I started.
Good Work and will keep you posted on bugs.
