How to customize the user profile page with views I've got a view I want to embed in a user profile page (A list of nodes that are associated with the user). The view is already working correctly.

Is the best way to do this to simply make a region in the theme that shows up only on the user profile page and then add the block view to that region?

To complicate this more, I have some pagination that should work with the view that is in date form (they could click "january 2012" or "february 2012" or just "2012" and is separated from the main view by some other content/markup. Do I somehow make two views? One for the content and the other to manage the links back to the page for which the main view can determine which content to show?
Create a view and add a "page" display.
Use "user/%" as the page path.
Add a contextual filter "user uid" and select "provide default value" user ID from URL.


You are done. This view overrides each user's profile page.

You can also add another display "attachment" to this view. Or add another views block as a view area into the footer of that view.
