This is right. We only need the common UserPreferences-Page, because
every user has an own homepage. So we also removed the
"create homepage" button.
But this page also needs some update...

This is already removed in the patches.

As you said. The homepage is already created. So they can only modify
his/her page.

That´s right.

The actual patches are at
http://wiki.kalmbachnet.de/userdata/kajo0011/phpwiki-UserManagement-v4.zip
(full files)

I cannot do an diff, because the pserver access is most of the time down...
