MySite
MySite pages let users create a personalized summary of the site. The MySite module duplicates the functionality of tools like MyYahoo! and Google's personalized homepage. The module uses a plugin API that allows developers to add new functionality.
MySite 5.x.2.19 released 08-FEB-2008 -- bugfix upgrade recommended for all users.
Update: multiple page support has been added and needs testers. Download 5.x.3 rc1 and start testing. And I am looking for jQuery and CSS testers and collaborators for the Drupal 6 version of the interface.
This group is for sharing ideas, solutions, and custom code (including Droplets) for MySite.

Dashboard Customization
I have been trying to create a dashboard in which a droplet requires user input once and that is displayed on the Dashboard. Here is the scenario, a user has selected Web Feeds as a droplet. Now once the user is adding it to his dashboard i want to specifically ask the user, which web feed he wants to display (a checkbox which would show all the Web Feeds and the user selects them) and then display them permanently on the dashboard (whenever he log's in again it should save the same settings).

MySite on shared tables
Hi
I'm thinking about the possibility to use mysite with multi site installation.
For example, let's say we have several shared tables:
'users' => 'shared.',
'sessions' => 'shared.',
'role' => 'shared.',
'authmap' => 'shared.',
'sequences' => 'shared.',
'profile_fields' => 'shared.',
'profile_values' => 'shared.',
'users_roles' => 'shared.',
we have two sites site.com - for english users and site.ru for russian users. Both sites have shared tables in shared. database and each site has own database for the rest tables. This should be working well.
MySite Pro Wanted For MySite Customization & Integration Project
Hello,
I am looking for a Web Developer very familiar with MySite. The Web Developer will be responsible for:
- Restructuring the MySite user interface. For example, I would like the settings to appear on a single, "Configuration" page, instead of using multiple pages.
- Integrate the configuration settings into a block located at the top of the site.
- Integrate MySite's user-customizable modules/droplets into the left hand side of a 3-column Drupal theme.
MySite scalability
Hi Ken --
I know you've deployed MySite on some large sites, and was wondering if you have any specific comments on the scalability aspects of MySite. Caching of data that gets pulled per user necessary? Fine out of the box because each user has a custom page (assume private)?
Feedback and techniques appreciated.
What are the future plans for integration of Panels and MySite modules?
Both the Panels and the MySite module provide a mechanism and an interface for creating pages with content blocks pulled from various sources. The main difference between the two is that Panels is aimed at the site administrator and MySite is aimed at the individual user. Compared to the complex functionality that both these modules provide, this distinction seems tiny.
jQuery / JS ninja wanted for collaboration
It's that time. Time to start porting MySite to Drupal 6. It will take some effort, since I will be refactoring some code and doing an API cleanup to more closely integrate with Panels.
One of the coolest features in MySite is the ability to drag-and-drop elements around the page. Problem is, the feature is a little buggy and relies on the jQuery Interface project. Based on some recent discussion, I think a Drupal-specific solution might be best.
Seeking Co-Sponsor and/or Programmer for Enhanced Integration of User Profile and MySite Project | iThinkWorks
PROJECT: Enhanced Integration of User Profile and MySite on Drupal
SPONSOR: iThinkWorks LLC, Tampa, Florida
ENVIRONMENT: Drupal 5.5, PHP 5.2.4, PostgreSQL 8.2.5, MySite 5.x-2.15 (looking to upgrade to 5.x-3 when released), Newsflash Theme (but intending to have custom theme done soon)
DEFINITIONS:
$user == the person looking at a MySite or Profile.
$owner == the owner of that MySite or Profile.
UID == the user id of the page owner.
$owner may or may not be the same as $user.
BACKGROUND/SITUATION:

Content locking
Question: How does content locking work in MySite?
When the administrator sets up Default Content for all MySite collections, each individual content element can be 'locked.'
An element is locked by:
-- Adding the element (say, all posts tagged 'foo') to the default collection.
-- Configuring the element (click the configure link) for the default collection.
-- Checking the 'Lock item' box, labeled 'Check this option to display this content to all users at all times.'
Doing so has the following effects.
5.x.3 beta
The first beta for the 5.x.3 release is out. It is likely buggy and needs tester love.
In good news, I did all the testing against pgSQL, so there should not be any database issues.
5.x.3 adds multiple page support and will also include a number of community-driven features. It will also be the version ported to Drupal 6.
Multiple pages
Merry Christmas!
Multiple page support has been committed to HEAD.
It still needs lots of tester love. And, apologies to translators, there will be some necessary string changes in 5.x.3.

Integration with OG
Hello all,
I've made some tests and got OG working for my purposes by extending og_views.inc.
The objective is:
Provide a droplet in mysite that shows posts in the user subscribed groups. Current limitation is that OG doesn't provide such a filter (it only provides a filter for the currenly logged-in user).
Not everything on this patch must necessarily be in og_views, but the filter should be there (and would need approval of the OG dev team).
Attached you will find a patch for the og_views.inc file, and instructions to test are:

Personalization and message feeds
While Drupal already has many of the tools necessary to implement social networking techniques on a community site, I haven't found anything that works like the personalized central "News Feed" system in Facebook or Twitter.
I'm curious whether anyone has done any development work, planning or merely thinking about how this might be done in Drupal, and about the implications.
show blocks of the mysite user, not currently logged in user
Hello everybody,
I'm evaluating this module for a large site. Looks good so far, but I want to let users build their page with something like the following:
- their content (certain types)
- their buddies' faces
- their buddies' recent posts
- their subbed groups
- the latest posts in their subbed groups
MySite Translations
I just noticed that Carlos Miranda Levy added a Spanish translation to MySite CVS!
Some notes about translations (and for translators):
- I neither commit nor update .po files. I simply don't have the time.
- Any user with a CVS translator account can commit translation files to any project.
- The current stable branch of MySite is 5--2; this is where the 5.x.2 release series comes from. This series is bugfix only. Current translations should be committed to this branch.
Toward an Open Social Network Powered by Free Software
Breaking Open Facebook with Open Source Software (Part 2)
it’s important for socially aware software developers to begin thinking about how to provide alternative services to proprietary social networks. While I acknowledge this is a very high level description scarce on implementation details, I hope that it spurs some spirited discussions and future innovation.

Hi, I think this module will be a very good companion: http://drupal.org/project/persistent_login
JavaScript errors with Google Gadgets
Over on the MySite project we're having a recurring issue with handling the JavaScript for Google Gadgets on our pages. It looks as though there is a problem with the order in which the JS are executed -- but that's really a guess on my part.
Sometimes, Flash embeds don't fully load: http://drupal.org/files/issues/gadgets.png
Sometimes, the JS loads the same element repeatedly: http://drupal.org/files/issues/GoogleWidgetScreenshot.png
Expert 'scripters exploring the issue would be much appreciated.

Using MySite with external applications and data
A few technical notes for developers concerning how MySite interacts with non-Drupal data and application sources.
First, a little history. The core goal of the MySite module is to abstract content published to a Drupal site. So the MySie distribution supports content types native to Drupal. The reason for this is scope: I don't have time to solve every problem, so I focus on those.
Facebook and MySite
I've been mucking around on FaceBook for the last week. It's cool, and the apps are nice.
And the dirty little secret is that MySite supports this type of "app" functionality through its plugin API -- it might even be made to read Facebook apps.
So where's the developer love?

Predefined mysite profiles.
hi
I think this module will almost fit my needs, but I'm interested in creating 2-3 different mysite templates (let's call it profiles, ok?). For example: I want to create one mysite profile to display owners blog posts for user type - bloggers and second mysite profile to display owners photos for user type - photographer. This is just an example.
I don't want users to create their mysite instances from scratch, but I want to create certain types of predefined mysite profiles users should be able to choose from.

WidgetBox for Droplets
I just found the WidgetBox service. Similar to Google gadgets, it is a service for people to create JavaScript widgets that can be distributed across other sites.
Widgetbox widgets can be used as MySite Droplets, just enter the code and select the 'Full HTML' input format.
Content / Context API
I just proposed this session for Barcelona. Hope it makes sense.
Looking deeply at the MySite / Panels integration question, I think what we need is a unified abstraction API that lets modules find, collect, render, and display data in multiple contexts.
Working on a unified API might be the best direction. Take a look at the session proposal and this brief overview.
5.x.2.6 released
A little mea culpa. I rushed to get some new features out -- including comment tracking, default restore, and content locking. And in doing so, I left in a few bugs in the 5.x.2.5 release.
So I had to release 5.x.2.6 to correct them.
MySite Droplets
For the new folks, Droplets are little snippets of HTML, JavaScript, and PHP code that function like Drupal Blocks, but Droplets are native to MySite. Views and Blocks can be converted to Droplets through an interface.
I know that some of you have created custom MySite Droplets. If you have, post them in a comment below.
MySite for Drupal 6
We've hit the Drupal 6 code freeze, and a call went out today to start upgrading modules for Drupal 6.
So I'm going to draw a line:
I will start porting MySite to Drupal 6 after DrupalCon Barcelona in late September.
Effectively, this means that the Drupal 5 branch will freeze on that date. I will take the newest stable release (currently 5.x.2.8) and port it to Drupal 6.
My general rule is this: Once I start developing for the new Drupal version, I freeze features for past versions. That means that 4-7 is bugfix only, and 5--2 would be shortly.
MySite development roadmap
Note: this is a Wiki page. If you make a change, please annotate it.
Current Release: 5.x.2 series
The 5.x.2 series is stable and in bugfix mode. No new features will be added unless they are glaring holes in the user experience.
The plugin system should allow extension of the module without new core features being added.
The 5-2 branch forked on 02-SEP-2007 so we can begin would on multi-page features for 5.x.3.
5.x.3 Release?
There are a number of interesting feature requests that could be part of a 5.x.3 release. Here's the overview.
MySite Introduction
Hi all, I'm Ken Rickard, the MySite developer and maintainer.
I started this project to help develop site personalization for our media company (http://morris.com). I am a relatively novice PHP developer (I was a literature major) and greatly appreciate Drupal for providing a structured environment for learning development.
I've been working with Drupal since 2005, and this is one of two modules that I've released out of about 10 that I've written.
The MySite module has some good features, but is running into the limitations of my skill. So this group has a couple of purposes:
MySite pages let users create a personalized summary of the site. The MySite module duplicates the functionality of tools like MyYahoo! and Google's personalized homepage. The module uses a plugin API that allows developers to add new functionality.
MySite 5.x.2.19 released 08-FEB-2008 -- bugfix upgrade recommended for all users.
Update: multiple page support has been added and needs testers. Download 5.x.3 rc1 and start testing. And I am looking for jQuery and CSS testers and collaborators for the Drupal 6 version of the interface.
This group is for sharing ideas, solutions, and custom code (including Droplets) for MySite.
