I guess the reason that you havent seen anything is that the answer is so obvious and so generic, the real question is not IF it can be done, but why to what extent!


That of course is the default, because of the modular component page creation model of Joomla /Mambo, what you have is the assembly of modules (blocks in PostNukespeak) for the user to see,

Put in another way, THERE ARE NO "PAGES" IN MAMBO/JOOMLA

There are only MENU OPTIONS which lead to opportunities to ASSEMBLE CONTENT ITEMS relevant to the user GROUP.

Now the content could be database driven, where you have a database and you SELECT from database where ID = CURRENT_USERID (and then you display that)

or your generation could be more static.

Lets say your main template displays file $username.contentpage.html

so when the user logs in , i.e. "DAVID"

the system tries to display DAVIDContentpage.html

what you want then is how to guide the content

THE REAL QUESTION IS: What is the level of page customisation and diffrentiation?

For instance, say you have a student record system and students are logging in.

They will see a page just for them, their selected courses,grades, and if there is an ADMIN MESSAGE field, a message for the admin just for them!
Because the page is dynamically generated that is possible.

The best bet is for you to go into more detail specifically what you want the result to look like.
