persistent forms?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I need to create several different content types that users will be able to have always present on a personal page. For example one form may simply have a field for miles driven today. Another may have a scale for rating mood from one to five. There will be five or more of these.

The users should be able to go to a personal page and see the forms they have chosen to appear on this page (perhaps displayed in blocks with the formblock module) and enter the information. Only the content types they have chosen should appear on this page.

Is there a way to do this with currently available modules?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I am a newbie, but I am beginning to think that using the forms API may be the way to go. There will only be 3 different types of forms for entry and using the forms API may make it easier to link to user data.

Does it make more sense to go in this direction?

Yeah, I don't know of any

Yeah, I don't know of any existing modules which have this functionality (except maybe Webforms, and I don't think it's flexible enough for what you are looking for) so maybe jumping into FAPI is the way to go.

A pertinent question
