Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.
Yes, I do plan to support 4.5. Unfortunately, I don't have too much time, so I wanted to wait until a 4.5 RC was available (which just happened yesterday, thanks!). I can't promise to get it done right away, but hopefully before too long. Thanks for your interest.
Thanks for the interest in my module. Didn't know anyone was using it :)
I'll make an effort to have a 4.5 version sometime in October. I won't be able to start working on it until Friday, that I know. Hopefully once I get going, though, it won't take too long.
Please check back for an update. And further, please let me know if you are using this, how I can improve it, what bugs or problems you run into, etc. I can't improve it or provide updates without feedback.
First I must say your module is one of the most useful ones.
Things to add:
2 column support
Incoming feeds based on keywords
more user friendly page creation
add a feed button in between each feed on the user's page
user customizable number of feeds per page
user customizable layout
support for things other than feeds, such as modules within the page
per-user outgoing XML for their customized feeds.
preset feeds like local and international
Basically, make it a bit more like my.yahoo.com or my.myway.com (Same concept) because this is what I am trying to achive. I would like to explain in more depth. Please contact me. My contact info is on my site http://www.nickmade.com I look forward to your release for 4.5!!!
Thanks for saying the Mypage module is useful. It's pretty new, so it's nice to know that there are some people actually using it (or at least experimenting with it).
Your feature request list is quite detailed and specific. Let me say that some of what you ask are definitely beyond the scope of the module I envision... for example changing layout and columns. Mypage, for me, is about content only, letting people decide what info to place on their page. The layout is for other modules. That being said, some of it already exists in Drupal.
I will go through your list:
* 2 column support
* user customizable layout
An admin can allow the user to select a theme... so you can use this functionality to allow the user to choose a 2- or 3- column layout, new colors, etc.
* Incoming feeds based on keywords
A version of "Incoming feeds based on keywords" already exists... this is how "Drupal talk" works on drupal.org
* support for things other than feeds, such as modules within the page
The admin can specify blocks to be "user selectable" (i.e. visible or hidden) so this functionality already exists.
* per-user outgoing XML for their customized feeds.
The per-user XML feed already exists in Mypage. The URL for a page is www.website.com/mypage as you know. But you can also use www.website.com/mypage/feed/(username) and that will create a personal RSS feed
* user customizable number of feeds per page
The user already determines exactly which feeds will be on the page. If you mean how many _posts_ per page, this is a Drupal admin setting.
* add a feed button in between each feed on the user's page
Not exactly sure what you mean by this
* preset feeds like local and international
Having some preset groups of feeds might be a good idea, but it would require an admin to determine the groupings and may discourage people from doing a complete feed-by-feed personalization.
* more user friendly page creation
I'll look into this, but please provide some suggestions.
Just to clear up, perhaps you are waiting for a 4.5 version and haven't actually installed the 4.4 Mypage, the "feeds" you talk about are not external to the site. Mypage only filters taxonomy terms, and so it only works with content that exists on the current site. It doesn't work for external XML sources... for that I believe you need the Syndication module.
Version 4.5 is available. This is a compatibility release only, there are no new features. I will consider some of the feature requests and may look into an upgrade, but the primary issue was just getting a 4.5 version out there.
