Hi,

 

you could try to replace the quilt in the Page Initialization, adding something like this (untested):

 

<#if page.name == "ViewProfilePage">
	<#if page.context.user.id == user.id>
		${http.response.replaceQuilt("ViewProfilePage","ViewProfilePage.User")}
	</#if>
</#if>

 

and creating a custom page ViewProfilePage.User with the different layout...

i think the simplest way is to contextualize your "private" component with a if condition

 

for custom components just put 

 

<#if page.context.user.id == user.id >
.. my custom components ...
</#if>

 

 

For standard component you will have to create a custom one one to ovverride it :

--> name it : standard-component-id@override

--> add your conditionr before

 

<#if page.context.user.id == user.id >
<@delegate /> <#-- this call the standard component -->
</#if>
