Hi Arik,

I can tell you from experience that getting end-users to use the 
admin-interface and page editor is a bad idea. While magnolia is a very easy to 
use CMS, and users can achieve a lot with minimal training, it is not really 
possible for arbitrary, untrained users to manage the page editor. Even if you 
manage to solve the issues around displaying the page editor on a public 
instance, I'd strongly advise against it based on useability.
My advice is to design an easy-to-use web-form (maybe using magnolia's form 
module), and add form-processing logic in your models to create the content for 
the profile.
You might also consider not storing the profiles as content in the website 
repo, but instead using the data repo or a custom repository for this (or maybe 
attaching the data to the user's node in the public users repo). Creating 
content in the website repo directly could be a security issue, and might cause 
headaches with activation.

Regards from Vienna,

Richard

Betreff: [magnolia-user] User Generated Content site

Hi there, 

I have a requirement where I need to build a website that allows users to 
generated profiles of themselves. 

The thing that I am trying to find out is if it is possible to make it so these 
users can build these pages by themselves in a similar fashion to a content 
author in Magnolia where they can choose components, use dialogs etc. to build 
their pages without me having to rebuild that functionality for the live site.

These are public users and not company users so giving them access to the admin 
console is not really something I want to do. 

Thanks,
Arik
