Hello,
Newspaper website looking to use Drupal to create community site.
I've created a user profile for one of our columnists and now I'd like to have the user page display a) recent blog posts, b) recent 5 podcasts and c) recent posts to her "Shopping" related forum and d) links to her "Shopping" group. Can anyone lead me in the right direction towards developing this? I havent' a clue yet.
Thanks in advance.

There are a couple of options
1. Creating a new view that might be able to get the kind of information you want.
2. You have a function with its own callback - in this function, you can load the user and all the information you need. Then you can create a template page which will make use of the information you pass on. You would load the template by using the stuff written in the theming areas of the handbooks (there are a couple of ways to do it). With this one, I think you can override the current user view stuff as well. Though I'm not sure on it (I'm kind of a newbie to these areas of drupal as well - I've main written node extensions and extensions to other modules without delving into the theming/templating side.
