User Edited Profiles CSS/HTML (like MySpace)

fecophobia - March 16, 2006 - 06:08

The key unique feature of MySpace is that it allows users to modify CSS tags and write HTML code on their homepage. I want to clone this aspect such that their code runs the same on my site. Is there a module that will do this?

I've been looking at Joomla's Community Builder, and it looks like it just doesn't support any real homepage customization. I'm afraid I'll run into the same thing with Drupal modules for social-networking.

you could always build your own module

You could always build your own module. Drupal has the power to implement everything in this regard you imagine. Drupal contains all the underlying features to create just what you want.

For example, the image.module and related modules support personal photo galleries. Also, for example, Drupal already has personal blogs. You might start building your custom contribu module with the 'My blog" code and modify it to become a "My Page" module with all the additional features you are dreaming about.

Once you have your custom contrib module finished you could make it available to the entire Drupal community. Happy Drupalling.

The blog module allows users

The blog module allows users to write HTML code?

Yes it does, as long as you

Yes it does, as long as you set up the correct filter for your users. You can also include PHP code too (dangerous for random users!)

I think the CSS module should be able to do this

After that, just make sure you set up the permissions correctly.

MySpace module is 4.6.5

lambert - May 29, 2006 - 03:37

Is there a 4.7 version coming?

Actually, I just took a

Actually, I just took a crack at upgrading it to 4.7 since mostly what would be needed is just the forms API conversion. I just finished that part and I am testing it now. I'll I really wanted was a way for users to have more than one picture on their page easily. Right now I don't see that but I do see lot's of dating type info in the user profile. If any one can tell me what to expect in terms of multiple pics. I would appreciate it.

Not only that. Myspace tools

jamescooper - January 25, 2007 - 06:24

Not only that. Myspace tools such as this (http://www.profilepitstop.com/) abound too, so your page basically looks like so dynamic. Maybe modules should also include those kinds of features, if you really want to create something so similar to Myspace.

Looks like MySpace's

Mike Sances - July 17, 2007 - 19:34

Looks like MySpace's "themes" are just code-snippets that the users paste into the "About Me" part of their profile. I'm using the pushbutton Drupal theme on my site, and after some minor tweaks to the style.css of the Drupal theme, pasting MySpace "theme" code into Drupal's "About Me" part of the user profile seems to work fine. Is this what you're trying to accomplish?

YEa dat would be great how did u do that?

zahirrahman - July 18, 2007 - 14:04

so basically wht u are saying is that u made mods so that myspace "layouts" can be pasted into drupal and it would work ?
yea that would be great if u can help me out
thanks in advance

I didn't have to write any

Mike Sances - July 18, 2007 - 14:22

I didn't have to write any modules. All I did is modify style.css in the pushbutton theme to change all the background colors to "transparent". Pretty sloppy, if I do say so myself! But I'm new to Drupal, newer to CSS and it looks like it worked. For example:

http://myspace-themes.com/index.php?Mod=Catalog&Category=27
http://massyouth.org/user/12

"change all the background

"change all the background colors to "transparent"" - such tweakings may give control to some extent only rt/ but to have more control you may need to go for developing some AJAXy based stuff
