Help for blocks on User Profile
Permalink
Dear All,
The requirement is-
A user should be able to add/modify "BLOCKS"
on his own profile page.
I just don't want to add different attributes to User.
I want to define page types - like blog.
Once user logs-in and goes to his profile, then he should see a link - "Add Blog"
This blog will have some predefined default blocks that user can edit. But the user should be able to variable number of blogs. some users may add 3/some may add 10.
And then I want to show them when user profile is being viewed.
I got a good hint from the screen cast

But I think it is not enough.
For this requirement I am looking for following.
1. How to provide user an "Add Blog" menu link (Not in context)?
2. How to gather the blogs related to User Profile in question and display them?
3. Is it clean and safe way like custom_templates to make any changes to single_pages/profile/view?
Any help/suggestion to any of these questions would be really a great help.
Sorry for posting multiple questions. But they help me explain wrt the requirement.
Meanwhile I am starting on my own.
Thanking you all in anticipation and for taking time to read this post.
