I'm building a site for a triathlon club with customized user profiles and I'm wanting for users to be able to post comments onto the profile page. Is there any way to do this?

I'm really confused with all of the stuff i'm seeing about user profiles. Can anyone explain how usernode, nodeprofile, nodefamily, etc. works exactly. If I can replace the standard profile with a profile that is a node, i think i would be able to accomplish everything I need to do. The only trouble is I don't understand how all of that works. I can't seem to actually replace the profile with nodeprofile.

I need some help figuring this out. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Put these things together

Sart with usernode:
It creates a usernode for each user (upon registration)

Settings for Nodefamily:
- To limit number of `my profile' to 1
- To relate usernode and nodeprofile (usernode/ID to tie user/ID) so user/1 will have usernode/1, and when you read usernode/1, you will see the below link to the title of that user's `my profile' (if that user already creates own my profile)

*Note that `my profile' is just node/ID so the user has to remember the node/ID, or always check his own usernode/ID , or check `My Recent Posts (tracker/ID)

Nodeprofile:
Select `my profile' to be the Profile treated as node (can be commented/print/send/forward), just like any node
- Enable the `my profile' to have `URL alias' (without having to use pathauto)

CCK
- Create a custom page called `My Profile'

Contemplate:
To enable teaser with CCK

Consult experts on `Social NEtworking sites using Drupal' group - the strength of such site is the `My Profile'

But to create such `MySpace.com profile' might requires investment - paid service

Otherwise just use the Drupal free solution like what we used - I am sure other users have did better with these combo (CCK/NP/NF/UN + tweaking + own module)

See what we did with Drupal (to our best ability, as non-programmers)

*Set:
Usernode - is not published, so it appears only to the admin and the user

My Profile - can be categorized, can be set to `Published' or Moderated just like any node content type

thanks for the response. I'll keep playing around with this and maybe i will be able to come up with something i like.

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a working copy of the shout.module that actually works. That would be a far simpler way to achieve the results i'm looking for.
