Idea: personalised pages
Hi guys,
I came up with this idea (probably not the first one), a few days ago, when I sat going through my site layout.

As I like to have descriptions for most of my listed sites, the list of a category tend to be rather long to browse through. It would be nice, if the user could register with a personalised page, where he can select his prefered layout (like showing descriptions in the categories and things like that).
Do any of you think it would be possible and/or have any ideas how to do it (or maybe a hidden desire in doing it? Smile)

This has been discussed before in this forum.

Search for "personalized", "cookies", "PHP", etc. Also, this issue has been addressed and discussed in the Perl/CGI Forum.

It is better to program options like this through MySQL tables rather than flat files. You would have to create a user database and then use a combination of preferences set in the MySQL table for scalibility and cookies for authenticating users.
