Its kind off funny,
Drupal is ment as an open source community builder. And for the most people out there, a community is a place to share information, pictures, daily events, etc.
All looked kind of easy until the day i wanted whats very common on a community site, a user profile site thats looks a bit more sexy than the one thats comes with drupal.
Everything went well until a wantet a personal image gallery on the users profile page. Then i had to install chaos, views, panels, and you name it!! I still didt get it to work, so i tried the help site, forum site, and search moduls for about an hour. And nobody out there seems to get this to work properly.
This should be an out of the box modul, but it seems like the drupal/php programers also have difficultys making this. Im not sure of why, is it drupal thats makes this difficult?

Versatility
Everyone wants their profiles to look different and be customized to their site. I offer Advanced Profile Kit as a base to start with and it is flexible enough to cover most use cases. There is no one out of the box turn it on and you're done module because no one has written one. Most people want the flexibility and writing an inflexible module that forces you to have your profiles look a particular way just hasn't been anyone's itch to scratch.

Thanks Michelle..
I understand as you say that everyone has their own way to sprite up the profile page. But I thougt that it was more like checkboxes for what you would or would not like like on the profile page. I remeber i installed the Advanced Profile Kit, and if thats the one to use, thats the one i will use:) Is it here posible to get galleries on the profile page? and do you have any tips for wich gallery module i should use to make this work with your profile kit?
Because of all the moduls that must play togehter for using this, is there a step by step documentation?
Kins regards
.
Sure. Just make a view of the image nodes for the user and put it on the page.
More documentation is something I plan to work on after the holidays. There's not really enough, yet.

whats the word...
I used your APK, and its just one word to descripe it.... WOW!!
This worked just fine. I tried it for a couple of hours, and then BANG! My head finely understood.
This great module that deserves a documentation. I think there is lot of people out there that would like to use one of the best modules if i should say it myself.
Or you could make the easy documentation " Use this module for a couple of hours, and BANG you will understand:)" Great module.
You who is the master of programming, how does drupal work when it comes to scripting. Does it makes a ton of unused scripting, or is it kind of effectiv.
I guess what om trying to say is.. is it a big different doing the scripting, contra using views, chaos, APK, etc
If i want a online/offline status, like on your "try out" page, how did you do this??
and again, GREAT MODULE MICHELLE!!!!
.
Glad you like it. :) Unfortunately, not everyone gets it after just playing for a bit. So many more docs are needed.
I'm no master of programming... And don't understand the question, I'm afraid.
The online/offline is part of Author Pane.
