Detecting MyPage setting

Is there a way to detect the logged in user has the MyPage setup?

Re: Detecting MyPage setting

Hi,

Typically the site admin will create some default content on My Page using shared scope. There is an old video tutorial here that explains about user scope and shared scope:

http://www.mojoportal.com/flashtutorials/mojo-personalization-demo.htm

So typically My Page is setup in advance with default content and the user is allowed to re-arrange it and add/remove content and personal pages. 

I'm not sure if thats what you mean about "has MyPage setup" and when you say "detect" it raises the question "detect from where?"

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Detecting MyPage setting

Thanks for the reply. What I'm looking for is listed in the following:

1. When user signed in and he/she has already setup the MyPage on his or her own. MyPage is the first page he or she will see.

2. If the user never has MyPage setup on his/her own (meaning BLANK page), the default home page is the what he or she will see after signed in.

Thanks again...

Thats quite a nice idea - except I would add a tick box on the ' my page ' so the user can make it their default page when they visit the site.

Re: Detecting MyPage setting

 This could be implemented as a UserSignInHandler, to find out if the user has personalized MyPage you could get a count of rows from mp_SitePersonalizationPerUser matching the UserID in that table with the UserGuid of the user. If the count is greater than 0 then the user has personalized. Unfortunately there is not an existing method to get this count.

Hope it helps,

Joe
