I've read and searched places like http://drupal.org/node/807754 but I cant find an answer.

I was able to use the user profile template (in panels/pages) to override user view page. Wondering if I can also use panels or pages for editing, and other user categories within the user tabs?

Thanks

There is a "User edit template", yes. You can activate it on admin/structure/pages as with other pages.

Thanks so much for the fast reply. Apparently I'm missing that template...is this possible?

It seems like you do. The task that we're talking about was added to Ctools 2011-09-07, so if you are using rc1, that's why.

I enabled the template but for whatever reason I cant get anything to show on the user edit url. Nor do I see any user context when trying to add content. I see user context in the arguments section though?

I had an extra filter which was causing problem. Now it works, but surprisingly, unless i'm missing something, the only thing I can display as far as editing a user is the exact user form which comes in core? Is this correct? And if so, what other reasons are people using this template?

Thanks

Are there ways to edit (or move around) user data beyond what can already be done without panels?

Hi,

no you can only add the general form to panels (without adding more modules) -

However, it is useful to use a panel if you plan to use the user/%user/edit page as a kind of dashboard - for instance we're feeding internal blog posts to this page and have renamed the backend (edit page) Dashboard and the frontend (view) Profile - it's useful when using the backend user pages in this way.

I am currently looking looking at a modules to customise the way this form appears - pelase let us know if you find a way.
