I would like to have published content on my site which a user can select if he/she would like for it to be displayed within a block on their profile page.

For instance:

  • Published content is an article with image and body,
  • When the user is viewing this node there is a checkbox (or whatever that will work) that will say "Add To Profile".
  • If selected, then the content teaser will appear within a block on that specific users profile page.

I know how to get content that is created by a user to appear on that users profile, but I have been having difficulty getting this right.

PS: I know very little php, but know my way around Drupal.

You might want to look into the Flag Module. It provides links on nodes that allow them to be tagged/flagged. Then, with Views, you can create a block that will be displayed on user profiles with content flagged by that user. In fact, it comes prepackaged with a "bookmarks" view that might be a good starting point for this.

  • Add an entity reference field to their profile page
  • In Views create view that will show content based on field from previous point
  • Use Viewfield to attach views to user profile page and to give uid back to views

It will not be a block, but it should work and you can template it to look like one.

  • I know there is at least one valid answer that will give a real block, I've seen something like that done. I just don't remember how. If no one will post it by the time I'll be able to recall it, I'll post it.
