Profiles as nodes

Looking for a drupal guru who are well versed in module development in handling REST, XMLRPC calls to external api's. If you are familiar with facebook api, myspace api, or twitter api, it is a plus.

Work start in early July. Drupal version 6,

Hello all, first time post for me!

I am working with Rules and I can't figure out what code I need to enter into the PHP code box so that it will return the NID of the profile node for the currently logged in user.

I think this is just a matter of knowing which variable hold the value but I can't find it anywhere.

Hi,

I am looking for a way to allow a user (who I'll call "User1") to send field data from within their profile to User2 (User2 is defined by User1).

By "send" I mean to make this information accessible to User2 and to give User2 some kind of alert or new display when they login that the information has been made accessible.

Is this possible using existing Drupal modules? And if so, which ones? I am still fairly new to the Profiles as Nodes modules, so please bear with me. Any support is greatly appreciated. I am using Drupal 6. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm using the content_profile module for user-profiles and I don't want the user to take the extra step to create
its own profile node.. instead the profile-node should be automaticly created after the registration..
is that somehow possible?

further I want to hide the title and text input-fields at the profile-node edit page, (user should only stick to
some Taxonomy-terms via cck).. I found the auto_nodetitle module for doing this job for the title-field, but any suggestions
on the text-field?

thanks for your help,

sebastian

Hi!

Can anybody help me telling me what is the equivalent function to nodeprofile_load (valid for the module node profile) for the module content profile?

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel

I am working on a site where I will use the content profile to let members create a node based profile.

I have been trying to find a module to handle an associated gallery for each profile, where the member can upload images to their own gallery. The closest I have fond so far seems to be Node Gallery, but it is still in alpha only.

I have also looked at Node Images, but since that is not storing images as nodes using a workflow will be more or less impossible.

I'm creating a user profile module, I want to restrict users, so that oner person can submit only one profile.I implemented check in hook_insert, it displays message properly but does not stop user from posting another profile.

First I tried this with taxonomy, and now I'tried to solve my problem with te Content Profile module.
I'm wondering if it is the right choice, because I can't get it to work.

This is what I want:
Users can go to my website and download documents , these documents are related to projects.
I want the users to see only the documents of the project that they are related to.

To achieve this, I installed Modules CCK and Content_Profile.
Then I set this up:
- projectdocuments have a node reference field to project
- user_profiles have a node reference field to project

Hello!

I would like to create a webpage for my brass band. In this webpage I would like to store information about the members of the brass band, e.g. Email, telephone no., birthday, instrument etc.
The users of the site should have the possibility to maintain their own data. But I have now the problem that not all members of the brass band have internet access and/or email addresses. Therefore I can't create for each member of the brass band a drupal user. As I said, for those who have access to the internet, it should be possible to maintain the data by their own, for the others I (as admin) am willing to maintain the data.
In the site I would like to create dynamic lists like a telephone list, birthday list etc. over ALL members of the brass band (e.g. with views).

How can I solve my requirement within drupal? As far I understood, it is madatory to have an email address for drupal website users ...

is there a way to change the profile fields before they are submitted as an applicaiton for an account? initially all you get is a uname and an email address. I would like to add name, address, phone... blah blah...
I kow that i can use profile as node, but all that data is collected AFTER you request an account. I want to get this data BEFORE they submit for an account.

Hi all,

Just installed this module - what do I do now?

I am simply trying to add multi select fields to my user profile page.

Can I do this with this module? If yes, how?

Cheers!

Hi all,

I would like to add some fields to this node type with a custom module, rather than using CCK. CCK builds things in the database, which will make it difficult for me to multisite my web app. I'd rather write code! (Correct me if I'm wrong here.)

One of the major benefits for me is that now I can associate taxonomy with my users! Very cool.

Anyway, is there documentation or guidance around how this module works, so I can read up on it? I don't see any new database tables that were created because of this module... so it's a bit of a mystery.

I thought you might be interested in the new ebook that has been published:

Hi there!

I´ve been around this group for a while, and there have been a lot of new "drupal-for-2.0-community" stuff lately.
Anyway, there´s this thing that´s bothering me since I´ve started to get my hands dirty with Drupal, and I really need to hear what you think about:
Drupal core profiles: They are not able to be managed as nodes (duh!), and you always need some contrib module to do that for you. Can we get a usable out of the box community site?

Hello,
I'd like to have a fairly complicated profile. I'd like to combine the advanced profile kit's panels with nodeprofile, and have this linked to the user account. Basically, I want 4 things:
1. When users go to www.example.com/profiles/member-name, it brings up member-name's public profile, which of course is in a panel page.

I am using Bio module in D5 and ready to upgrade to D6. I guess we need to use Content Profile module in D6. Is there any procedure or after upgrading to D6, just install Content profile module to take over bio module...? Please advise how can do that....Any links for the procedure we need to follow?

Hi everyone,

This is my first post in groups, so hope you are all doing well..

I need to set up a website with paid membership where after payment users will be able to edit their profile fields provided by Content Profile and use the Blog in their profiles. As far as I found out, to do this I have to create a role with appropriate permissions and upon payment that role should be given.

I want to use D6, so that I can benefit from extended features of it.

So far I couldn't make eCommerce beta3 and Content Profile work together for this on D6.

Hi guys,

My head is halfway between dead and inside out.

Quick question: does anyone know where there's a good tutorial (text or vid) that explains contexts/relationships/arguments in panels?

Longer question: I'm trying to get slick profile pages on my community website and I'd love to have a gmap of user location as a mini-panel.

• I've got usernode running which takes the user location and is used by views for displaying all members on a big map

I am trying to build some typical social networking functionality for my site: configurable user profiles, home pages, where user submitted contents can be grouped and presented, possibly adding view blocks to the user profile pages, etc.

Lets say that I want to have a content type for "Experts"

• any user can create an expert but a user is not required to create an expert.

• a user can create multiple experts.
• the initial expert that the user creates is their profile and treated like the traditional user<->node concept.

Can any of the existing user<->node modules fulfill this requirement, or do I need to do some hook_nodeapi work with a hidden user_reference field?

Is possible to assign user at levels? So I how admin am at level1, my user at level2 and they users at level3.
And every level can manage how want the lower levels.

Example use:
Level 2 can only see/manage own and lower users (not top)
etc.

I notice that there are many modules for manage users.
They associate a user at node.
But is possible when one delete an user , really delete the user's account?
I tested members og and this isn't possible.You can only eliminate members but it remains the drupal account.
Also tested usernode, wher in the view I add an delete field. But not work.

Is there some solutions?

If I am the site's admin, I can see/manage all the users. This is normal.

But why, if an user have permission for Access at user profiles, can to see also me in the user list?
Is possible, I (the site admin) not to appear in those list?

I have been brainstorming the issue of user profiles, and the node profile solution for Drupal 5.x. What I have observed is that a number of modules already exist that leverage Drupal user profile data. So, I'm not particularly in favor of building a site that does not use profiles, as that limits the modules I might use that interact with profiles. But yet, the idea of using node profiles is compelling for similar reasons: Many modules exist that operate upon nodes, not the least of which are Views and CCK.

Hi all,

My site is 5.10 and using node profile module. I'm creating a complex CCK custom form template, and I'm trying to include user information about the current user in the top of the form, such as "you're currently logged in as Firstname Lastname" in the top of the template before the form is rendered, as well as print certain fields based on information in the user's profile.

My node profile node type is called "vspot-profile". I am using the following just to test and see what info is available to me, and not having much luck.

<?php
global $user;

Hi All,

Hope you are very well.

What I would like is that say when a Platinum member role expires, it hides their own specific content.

This works that if you are a Platinum member, you are able to view this field.

Hi All,

Just a little confused here and perhaps a question for Michelle :)

As many links i.e 'add ... nodereview, flag, etc' fall automatically in the links of nodes of your content types, why do we redirect the content type 'profile' to the usernode? as in node-profile.tpl.php as follows:

My setup is Drupal 5.10 and the latest versions of:

usernode, node profile, node family, imagefield, imagecache, Views, CCK

I am using the above modules to create userprofiles, whose pictures are displayed in a gallery format using imagefield+imagecache+views. My user profiles are taken over using michelle's template.php snippet, featured in her userprofiles #1 tutorial. Every /user/% looks just like its corresponding /node/%.

In views I add the field "field_image_field" and "Node: Author Name". This creates a photo gallery, with the user's name under each image.

For the site we're creating we would like users to only be able to edit their Node Profile node, but no need to create one (our import tool creates a profile for them). However, it looks like this is not possible since it seems you need permission to "Create" the profile in order to edit it. Has any found a way to get around this?

With the vast amount of profile as nodes implementations, how do you set up your own profiles on your sites?

What I am really looking for are what modules are deprecated and rarely used to the more flexible and complete user profile solution.

Does anyone who is serious about creating complex and dynamic profile(s) ever use profile.module and if so, why?

Do you use any custom coding, and if yes then for what?

I am really looking forward to creating a profile solution for one of my sites and I want to maintain a clean back end and flexibility.

Hi!

I can imagine this is pretty easy, but have done an extensive search and :) cannot find a solution please ..

Inserting a multi-line text in node-profile.tpl.php with field_introduction and field_detailed_profile just prints as text without line breaks or automatic links.

Hello all,

I'm looking to switch my user profiles to nodes because it gives me more flexibility with gmap.

Unless my user profiles are nodes, I can't use views to select them (or subsets of them) to display on a google map.

Has anyone had any experience of creating user location maps with nodeprofile/userprofile and gmap?

I've hesitated until now to change profiles to nodes. I'm not so worried about performance (low traffic site) but I don't want clashes with all my other installed modules!

crossing my fingers...

Cheers

There are a ton of great & ongoing discussions about different ways to try to bridge the gap between some of the existing methods of organizing and presenting user data. The ones that I'm most aware of - and please do forgive me if I've missed something big here - are the ongoing attempts to bring Bio and Nodeprofile together, the discussion about integrating MySite and Panels, not to mention Advprofile, which is in itself an attempt to unify a number of disparate modules.

I decided to go with the Bio module, since I have one type of profile, and fairly simple needs.

• When registering, people enter some basic contact info First Name, Last name and some info that will remain private, like phone number.
• When their application is accepted, they can create their "profile"... But I want to be able to keep the First Name and Last Name they originally entered on their registration form.
• I don't want them to use the "title" field for their name.

At work I've got LDAP (Active Directory) integration working just fine. However, I also wanted to pull profile information (Job Title, Department, Phone Number, etc.) out of Active Directory so there's a central repository for that type of information.

I really love this new module idea. Right now i am using Drupal 5,7. So,i can't use this module. I would like to use most likely Bio module or Node profile and collect the user information using CCK fields. Is it OK ? I mean i would like to use this module after my site code upgraded to 6.X. is that right approach ? or should i wieght ? My guess, once if i have this module, i just need to re-assain CCK fiels to content type related to this module. Am i right ...or too much imaginations ? Please advise me

Hi,

Hope this message finds you very well.

I would like to have company information below press releases (content type = 'article'). In my node.tpl I have

node.tpl is currently as follows:

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to install http://www.drupal.org/project/phplist, but for it to update in the external php installation, have to replace profile.module fields (which we don't use) with our nodeprofile fields ..

Would you be so kind to point me in the right direction in replacing the fields for my phplist please?

Hi,

I hope I'm asking this in the right place. What I am trying to achieve is a swapping type site for housing e.g User A has 2 bedrooms, wants to swap for a 1 bedroom. I think I am right in using nodeprofile to make all users nodes and have added cck fields for what they have and what they want, but cannot for the life of me work out how to a create user-specific View which shows a list other user's profiles(nodeprofile) matched to the user's 'wanted' field. I suppose you could liken the functionality I'm looking for to something like a 'matching' or dating site.

Hi,

I'm trying to get my head around this and somehow just don't get it.

I have 2 roles, the normal 'authenticated' and a 'platinum' profile.

Both fill in the authenticated profile where they can select 1 listing (select list) in the business directory from a content type called 'directory'.

I would like the 'platinum role' to be able to choose 3 listings for the directory. How would I do that please?

Do I create a separate content type just for platinum users where they can choose their 3 listings in the directory or is there perhaps an easier way to do this?

Hello all,
I am investigating Drupal and (probably) the Organic Groups to create a website.
What I would like to achieve is the following:
A person can be a member of different groups. I would like to make it possible that each user has a different profile (or different profile details visible) for each group.

Like many, I'm creating a networking site. While I'm new to Drupal, I've worked with PHP, HTML, CSS, etc. My question is what is the best way to allow a user to add multiple items to their profile? For example we'd like our users to add their work history to their profile. Since we can't tell how many jobs someone's had, we'd like the option for adding, editing and deleting each job individually (similar to LinkedIn). So do we create CCK modules to enter the information? Use nodes for each job and add a view for them on the profile page?
