Module Description
Homebox allows site administrators to create dashboards for their users, using blocks as widgets. Blocks in a Homebox page are resizeable, and reorderable by dragging.
Homebox (D7) is currently used on Drupal.org for the 'Your Dashboard' feature.
Versions Drupal 8 / 9
2.x
* Brings basic Drupal 7 functionality to Drupal 8/9
* Provides ability to restrict roles to an individual homebox
* Provides abitlity to set columns layout
* Provides option to create a dashboard page with a definable custom path
* Provides option to create a user tab dashboard page
* Provides global homebox permissions
With 2.0.0-alpha1 (2022-02-28) the module is kind of usable for the first time in Drupal 8 / 9. Note, that 2.x will presumably never leave the alpha state, because it only provides basic functionalities and still needs a lot of improvements. Anyway all basic should work now. 2.x will only receive important bugfixes!
3.x Do not use 3.0.x - it's under heavy development! Please help tesing, once alpha0 is released. Until that, use 2.0.x! There's no upgrade path from 2.x yet!
3.x is where further development (bugfixes, new features, ...) happens. 3.x is based on 2.x, but might contain major changes. Where ever possible, we'll try to provide an update path from 2.0.0-alphaX, but we can't guarantee for that.
If you're starting new with Homebox for Drupal 9, have a look at this issue and help us to push things forward: #3264558: [3.x][META] Plan for 3.x feature branch
Drupal 7 and older
Version 3.x of Homebox is under minimal development for Drupal 7, with many new features and improvements. There is no upgrade path from 6.x-1.x to 6.x-3.x or 7.x-2.x. You must completely uninstall version 6.x-1.x prior to installing version 3.x. The Drupal 7 core homebox module should be more or less production-ready.
Homebox Features
* Create as many homebox pages as needed.
* Each homebox pages as its own access permissions by role.
* Block layout and status is saved per-user, so each user can reorder, resize, add and remove blocks to meet their specific needs.
* Layout settings autosaved via AJAX.
* Users can set color (manually or via Color Picker) for each block (available colors are defined per homebox pages).
* Integrated with Views 2 and its exposed Ajax filters. Exposed filter settings are saved between sessions.
* All Homebox pages are alias-able via the core Path module.
* Uses the block system, so anything that can be exposed in a block can be made available to Homebox.
* Comes with documentation through the excellent Advanced help module.
* Homeboxes may be placed in code via hook_homebox().
* Import/export homebox pages.
* Optional block title overrides.
* Option to have a Homebox appear on a user profile tab.
* Easily create custom region layouts (easier than Panels).
* User-added custom blocks.
* Option to disable theme block regions so homebox can go full-width.
Integrates with modules:
* Views
* Color picker
* Features
* Advanced Help
Tested with the following themes
* Zen
* Acquia Marina
* Marinelli
* Acquia Slate
* Deco
* Framework
* Genesis
* Bluemarine (core)
* and Garland of course
French Homebox permet à vos utilisateurs d'avoir une page du type iGoogle, Netvibes ou BBC.co.uk. Homebox peut être vu comme le module MySite, mais celui-ci ne sera pas porté sur Drupal 6. Homebox fonctionne différemment, il est pour le moment uniquement basé sur les blocks Drupal. Ce qui laisse suffisamment de souplesse pour présenter du contenu à vos utilisateurs.
