Homebox tab per role? [#1876766]

Hello,
I have searched but can't find any answers...

I have created four homeboxes. I would like to display each homebox to four different profile and to have the tab displayed on the user profile page be titled "Dashboard" for each four instances. I have enabled each role to view its own instance of each block so for example:

student - profile is the only role that can view student - dashboard (homebox as a tab)

and the same for each of the other three homeboxes where each profile role has a tab on their user profile page titled Dashboard which each instance created is calling a group of different blocks and also sharing or displaying the same single block across all four dashboards.

The problem I am having is when I go to the /admin/user/homebox page the dropdown to "Add a profile tab" displays none as well as all of the homeboxes i have created but I am confused as to how to add each role specific homebox to each profile when I select one and click save configuration it seems to take over and be the default only allowing me to enable one at a time. I have tab tamer installed and when I refresh the tab tamer page the originally set "dashboard" homebox which was displaying on the default user profile page has disappeared and the newly saved one from the /admin/user/homebox save config page is now listed.

How can I enabled each homebox on each profile per role page..
So i can move all of them to the top of the tab tamer block and with login destination I have each role directed to /user/myaccount/dashboard_instance.

Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ok so I thought about it and took a different approach. I enabled the first homebox i had created with the path of dashboard and allow all four roles to view it and then fine tune which blocks each role can see within the block visibility settings on the blocks page. Then I set login destination to redirecct all user that login from /user/login to /user/myaccount/dashboard

So far I think it is all working and I have accomplished my goal.

Content profile
logintoboggan
autoassign role
terms of use
homebox dashboards
Realname
Realname registration
Nodeblock

Now i just have to move on to test if I can get one of the roles to be able to click to a webform and have it prepopulate with the content profile fields. I think I have read it doesn't work and webform doesn't recognize the content profile field values so my plan B will be to remove the firstname middle name and last name fields and create them with the core profile module and sort of split the registration or user profile information up so i can have webform pull as many fields from the user profile as possible name address city state, etc.

I also need to test and make sure the users first visit to the webform employment application allows the user to save as draft on the webform and that it creates the $sid which is the variable I use to track the applicants thoughtout the employment applcation process and that it doesnt change along the way until the user final finishes entering all the required fields and hits submit..

Some way to be spending news years weekend..

peace,
