I'm currently trying to integrate agentrickard's awesome new MySite module into a self-contained user section such as this.

I've figured out how to create the tabs/subtabs by creating views for each content type (made with CCK). Ideally I'd like to integrate the Mysite page into this tabbed structure (possibly would make sense as a sub-tab here). Does anybody know if it's possible to do this? A related question would be, is there a way to switch out the default profile (view) tab with the either the MySite or some other custom user profile (possibly created with some combo of views/panels)?

The MySite readme contains a great deal of documentation and looks like it's very customizable (for the more tech saavy). Seems like some of this functionality would nicely integrate with views and panels.

Then again, I'm not really sure what I'm talking about ;)

That is very nicely done. I'd like to do something similar on my site. Could you share your Views set up? We could write it into a case.

Re: MySite - I don't think you can integrate it just yet because you can't pass arguments to a mysite but you could create your own MySite-like CCK-node using the viewfield and the editview modules. http://drupal.org/project/viewfield and http://drupal.org/project/editview

Thanks Dominik - Ideally the type of site I'm trying to build will eventually be part of a Drupal Distribution (complete with tutorials, site-recipes, detailed instructions), thus available to the entire community. As a non-programmer who works by trial and error, I'm probably not the best one to be writing case studies. With that caveat, this may provide a bit of insight? Any ideas, tips and suggestions are most appreciated.

RE: MySite integration - There actually has been some promising activity over in the Drupal Groups. I'm certainly going to follow and hopefully contribute where I can.

Thanks Gus, I like the direction you're going in. However, try as I might I can't figure out how to replicate your individual user profiles. I can create the views but I don't know how to make them create automatically for each user in a menu like that. I tried using arguments for that but can't get enough flexibility to suit my needs. But it is possible I'm missing something.
