Hello everyone,

Check out the Contribs (Workflows section) and test my new contribution. Any feedback appreciated.

Description : Ability for registered users to automatically have a personal folder, where they can create content.

The zip file contains :
- a new workflow event, called "Create personal folder" (as an extension)
- a new trigger, called "user activate" (this is actually a hack)

The purpose is to create the personal folder when the user's account is activated, and to assign a specific role for this user on his personal folder, so that he can create objects under it.

Nice. You can likely get rid of the creation of a role (which kinda bloats the role system with many users) after ParentOwner capability is integrated (3.8 I hope)!

At present, in order to allow users to add contents to their profiles, I make the user class as a container, and make the user object a parent node of all new created contents.
This is bothering some how, because you can't put the new object contents in a folder,
So your contrib seem to solve the problem, maybe.

Thank you Lex

To be honest, I didnt benchmark it. But it creates a giant mess which is relevant if you ever need to change something, that's for sure...

Hi Lex,

Nice work...

Just want to know whether this extension works for 3.8 or only for 3.5/3.6.

Moreover would it be possible for anybody to let me know the license status for this extension. Can this extension be used as gpl under gpl and professional under professional license.

Please help....

Thanks......

Smith
