Hi
I've been researching something and all fingers point to using your Me Aliases module to help me do it. But for the life of me I can't figure out how. (I've figured out views, og, panels, etc. so I'm not a complete idiot)
Using 6.x I've created a community site and have created a My Profile section to be separate from My Account. Each have somewhat different information on them (though My Profile draws much from My Account). Of course, the default user links to My Account. So everywhere that there are links, say from a group or a list of members, I want it to go to the My Profile and not the My Account. The My Account, I want only available to the user. I created the My Profile page as a node type with Panels, if that helps.
Can your module help me? If so, how?

Hmm, I'm not sure that the me module can help. You're basically wanting to rewrite all user/[abc] links, and have them point to node/[xyz]. All the me module does, is provide a generic link for logged in users so they don't need to remember what [abc] is, or so that generic links to user specific pages can be made.
I think what you're trying to achieve would be very difficult without custom coding. You might be able to do it wirn an implementation of custom_url_rewrite_outbound(), but I'm not sure how that would go.
Why can't you just have the "My account" page as the profile page, but use permissions to restrict what people see when on that page, based on who they are?
