Introduction

The profile module allows custom fields (such as country, full name, or age) to be defined and displayed in the My Account section. This permits users of a site to share more information about themselves, and can help community-based sites organize users around specific information.

The following types of fields can be added to a user profile:

• single-line textfield
• multi-line textfield
• checkbox
• list selection
• freeform list
• URL
• date
