I want to create a dating site like MySpace, where users have a lot of control over configuring their homepage. Does Drupal have a module, or set of modules, that will allow this kind of functionality?

Hi,

I suggest you install Drupal (possibly the CVS version, since the next stable release is coming soon) and see it for yourself.

There are loads of modules. I mean... loads. However, you will probably find that you'll need specific features and you'll need to program them on your own.

Bye,

Merc.

I'm sure some bits are already doable, but perhaps you can list the features you require?

I'm not intimately familiar with MySpace, but they provide some mechanism for customizing their homepages, perhaps a watered down script language for accesing HTML & CSS. As far as I understand it, MySpace/Tribe/Friendster are all pretty much generic dating sites, except for the greater expressiveness of the user homepages.

It's doable if you have some experience with Drupal. You can achieve most of the functionality with core and add-on modules, but you'll need to mod that you see the user's theme of preference instead of your own theme of preference. I can imagine that's not too hard a thing to achieve though.

Good luck and keep us posted!
