I have a site where i want to have a block where users can write notes into a textfield(like a post it note) and the content of the textfield should persist after user logout as well. Each user must have hiw own unique post it text area where only his notes shows up. how can this be achieved? i know theres a module called stickynotes but it isnt what i am looking as it is more complex. I only need a text area with a submit area (optionally using ajax to only type in text and not submitting). Can i just use a custom form in a block? and how can the content of this form be unique for each user?

Appreciate any help!

Hmmm, haven't stumbled upon a module which could do that.

two things I can think of:

  • Create an extra field in the user profile, which the users can use for that.
  • I found a module which does something like you ask, but only for admins. Perhaps you can take a look at their code and modify it somehow to make it work for every user independently.

thanks for the reply! that

thanks for the reply! that module didnt suit my needs so i ended up developing my own module from scratch cuz it wasnt a huge thing.

Share?

Are you contributing your new module, and if so what is it called? Your module sounds like a great idea.

i probably should contribute

i probably should contribute it to the community when the project is done;)

This could probably also be done with Views and editablefields. I'm not sure if it would be as handy as a custom module specially for this use because the field content has to be saved before leaving the page.
