Hi guys
I'm looking for a simpler alternative for Organic groups.
I don't want to use OG because it is a bit overboard for what I want to do, I don't need user->group control + I need to do node access control by other means as well (which OG does not like).

I simply want to have a main page for a user, and then also maintain a relationship to the main page of the user's other nodes such as blogs, events, etc.

Obvious choice is node relations/reference, but before I jump into some custom coding, has anybody got some other ideas/modules to suggest?

Thanks

Advanced Profile Kit is worth

Advanced Profile Kit is worth taking a look at - http://drupal.org/project/advanced_profile

It allows for panels to be used on the user page; or you could do a whole stack of embedding views in user-profile.tpl.php

What did you go with?

I'd be interested to know what you went with in the end.

I've got a site where I'd prefer an alternative to OG if I can find one.

Bukem's link to nodeone was very interesting.

Node reference

I went with node reference and Views. That was after I read the nodeone link.
