i created a simple myHomepage feature. it allows users to create a single webpage, right now it is only dynamic. it is kinda template driven and users will have some options as to what they want it to look like. they have the option to use there own html or template based.

i want to make it so users who don't have a web page or whatever can create a basic web page about them. just an option to see more about the user.

right now there is no security checks, or very much. you can see an example of it at http://www.extremeforums.org/homepage.php?User=poil11

and the edit screen looks like this.

(it won't look like that forever, just gettng things working.)

i only have one template right now, but many can be added. and i am trying to figure out how to write to a file cause that will make things easier, but harder for the normal user to change if he wants to change it. i don't know how this can be done. with an htaccess file you could make it extremeforums.org/poil11 and that is what i will probably do.

next i want to work on a way to track referrals, i think it would make more users promote the boards. if the user had incentive to get users to register at the board. free advertising is always good. if you wanted you could run a contest to see who can get the most users to register under there name or something. maybe not next, but look into it.


bleh!

Poil--

Neat idea! Post the hack here when you have it done. I think I may want it.

You are really working on it! Really cool! Keep us updated! This is really promissing.
One suggestion for the edit page, maybe you should allow a picture upload or two because if the ones who are going to be using it are those without homepages, where else will they get a url for their picture? []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]
