About
When you log into your MediaSpace account, you're not just unlocking content – you're unlocking a way to get to know your fellow users. Your profile page, easy to access and update, showcases who you are. Only logged-in users can see it, and it has a unique URL. Think of it as your very own corner of MediaSpace where you can shape your online presence. Whether you're boosting your personal brand, growing your business, or simply making new friends, your profile page is where the action happens.
The Badges tab may also be enabled (depending on your account configuration). The Badges tab displays all the badges that you currently have and all the badges that you can earn. See Badges for more information.
Page configuration
Your administrator sets up the information that appears on the page, determines the editable fields, and can upload a customized header image in the Personalprofile module. For those designated as presenters (check out the presenters module), a dedicated tab will showcase the media you are currently presenting. Another tab, available just to you, will show your watch list (this depends on enabling the watchlater module). Once enabled, ‘Created by’ links will redirect the user to your profile page instead of a search page.
The following instructions have the Theming module enabled.
Access your profile page
From the user menu
, select My Profile.
If this option is missing from the user menu, ask your administrator to configure it in the Headermenu module. My Profile page direct URL is http://{your MediaSpace url}/profile. Depending on your admin setup, My Profile page can also be added to the site navigation bar.
The profile page displays. The image below shows a profile page with the default blue banner.

Badges tab
The Badges tab may also be enabled (depending on your account configuration). The Badges tab displays all the badges that you currently have and all the badges that you can earn. Badges may be earned through various single actions, such as participating in a group chat during a session, watching a certain video or set number of videos, or through a combination of actions. In our example below, this user has earned 5 badges and has the opportunity to earn 4 additional badges.
You may click on any of the badge icons to learn more about the badge. In the example below, we've clicked on the Live expert badge.
When someone else views your profile, the badges you've earned display below your profile picture. In our example below, this user has earned three badges.
Also note you may view badges you've earned and badges you have the opportunity to earn by clicking the Badges button on the navigation bar.
