Home box
Home box allows your users to have a page that behave the same way as iGoogle, Netvibes or BBC.co.uk. You can think about Home box as MySite. But MySite is not going to be ported for Drupal 6. Home box will behave differently and will (for now) only be based on Drupal Block system. Which let's enough flexibility to serve any sort of content to the frontend user.
Be sure to check README.txt and if you have problems with jQuery Update read this issue.
Features
- Create as many home box pages that you need
- Each home box pages as its own access permissions by role (ex: authenticated user, contributors, webmasters, etc.)
- Users can enable/disable each block
- Users can collapse each block
- Each user action is saved in the background through Ajax (user doesn't even see it happen)
- Users can set color for each block (colors are defined per home box pages)
- Can be used with Color picker module to set block colors
- Plays nicely with Views 2 and its exposed Ajax filters
- Views 2 exposed filters are saved (even if user logs out and come back later)
- Tested on Safari, Firefox, Chrome, IE 6, IE 7
- Integrates with Path module so you can choose any URL alias for each home box page
- Respects Drupal permissions' system (block restricted to certain roles aren't rendered for others)
- Based on Drupal Block system, so anything that is a block can be used on such a page
- Code is pretty clean and respects Drupal coding standards (checked with Coder module)
- Comes with documentation through the excellent Advanced help module

Home box permet à vos utilisateurs d'avoir une page du type iGoogle, Netvibes ou BBC.co.uk. Home box peut être vu comme le module MySite, mais celui-ci ne sera pas porté sur Drupal 6. Home box fonctionne différemment, il est pour le moment uniquement basé sur les blocks Drupal. Ce qui laisse suffisamment de souplesse pour présenter du contenu à vos utilisateurs.
Homebox development is sponsored by Radio France and developped by Breek and OWS.
