I'm fairly sure this is a feature request rather than a how to, but ...
Is there any way to allow users to add "personal" links, which are only visible to that user, which aren't subject to the global "no duplicate links" setting, and could be collected together in a CMPS module? Somewhat like the Calendar allows individual event entries, visible only to the user who created them.
In another thread I talked about building a My Links widget based around the "My Stuff" favorites. I got that going, so I have a CMPS module which lists an individual users favorites on the Home page. But this doesn't exactly do what my users want.
Ideally, I'd like a "special" category for "My Links", which is keyed to the individual user, so each user sees only "their" links in that category, from which I can build the CMPS module(s) I need. Links added in this category would only be visible to the user who added them.
The reason for all this should be fairly obvious. We're using this as a portal, and users want to be able to use it as their default browser page, and be able to use it as a jumping off point for their favorite links. Especially if they are on the road and don't have their own browser's Favorites handy.
Of course, another really useful feature would be the ability to import a favorites list into their My Links, exported from their browser. But that's as secondary wish!
