User Personalisation

Need a way to allow the user personalise pages

I am blue in the face looking for what I want, yet I know it must be out there.

I want a portal/cms/any system that allows users to personalize pages on an individual basis.

Kind of like this.

Say a page has a list of 20 different kind of widgets with a paragraph or two of info about each, this info pulled from a database. The user is maybe interested in 5 of them. So they pick five by ticking boxes and the rest either disappear completely or are collapsed to just a single line.

This persists so that when the user logs in again all they see are their choices.

Anyone know of a system that does something even vaguely like that? Preferably php/perl.

Thanks

I know a system that could do this ... It's called the "Use sessions, cookies, and a MySQL database system" ;0)

All laughs aside, you should be able to do this quite easily using PHP/MySQL if you can script..

I am pretty good at making pre-existing scripts do what I want and messing about with code (where allowed), but complete rubbish at writing anything :(

I was kinda hoping there was something out there already I could use..... but I suppose it's time to take the bull by the horns and do it myself. Yuck.
