Profiles as nodes

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

We are a developers group that are very much interested in using nodes for profiles. There is a module, and some other code already, but that needs polishing.

Especially for bigger and more complex communities, people need features such as finer grained permissions on profiles, categorising of users, or simply search in profiles. Nodes offer all that. We tie them together.

Formatting the user registration page including content profile fields

I've created a rather simple user registration page which includes the standard username/password fields in addition to a handful of other text fields and web site links. I'd like to format this page to utilize multiple columns, separate out required versus optional information, etc. Is there a way of grouping certain fields together visually?

How does one do this?

Thanks

List users (using Views 2) with content profile data

Hello,

I'm using Drupal 6.16 + Views 2 + Content Profile.
I have some CCK fields associated to the User Data using Content Profile.

I would like to be able to generate a User List (with Views 2) of all users that belong to a certain role. I can achieve this easily with a view type: User.
But I can't get the profile info of the user in this list. And if I try to create a View of Node type, I get only the users that have created content in my site. (and a lot of repeated entries... one for each content created)

(Tabbed) profile page based on role - with option on having multiple profiles

Hello,
I am building a site where a user can have one of two roles or for some user both roles. I would like to have a different profile page based on the role and ideally for those users with two roles, have the two profiles pages in different tabs so that the viewer of the profile can quickly switch between the two profile pages.

I have build the two profile pages using Content Profile / CCK / Panels 3

Now I am running into difficulty on how to actually show two profiles as two pages behind tabs.

Any suggestion welcome!

Custom Block linking to external websites using CCK fields

I'm trying to use Content Profile & CCK to allow users to input some information from various social networks. Right now I'm just using textfield, one for each social network (twitter, facebook, linked in, etc) to input either a link or their username from that social network.

My goal is to be able to create a block so that when people visit their profile, they will have a block that just contain icons representing each of the networks if that CCK field is filled out (i.e. if they've entered that info).

Drupal Core 6.16
Content Profile 6.x-1.0-beta4

Users are able to register for an account either by selecting an existing directory entry and claiming it, or just create an unlinked account.

How to add a content-profile field in user registration

I tried to find an answer to this question in vain. So here we go.

In content profile, is there any way to show a field in the node (profile) as a required field in user registration page? Someone in a forum said it is possible with content profile but I couldn't find any good material to show how to do it.

Thanks

Documentation for Content Profile

I am a newbie with content profile but love every bit of the idea. Most of its functionalities are straightforward. Its documentation is, however, hardly found. Could you direct me to some?

Content Profile for Specific User Groups

Hello all.

New user here of Content Profile, so my apologies if this is an obvious question (I don't see how I would do it off hand).

I have user groups for Alumni and Current Students. I would like each to have a slightly different profile content type.

Right now I only see a way in content creation to turn On/Off Content Profiles and not a way to specify, "this content type should only apply to use group Alumni"

Thanks a bunch. Fantastic module, can't wait to dig deeper.

Minimal support for required Content Profile fields when adding multiple users

The latest dev version of userplus now has support for Content Profile's required fields when adding multiple users. There are a lot of caveats, but if all your required fields are text fields (and they take one value), you're now able to use the add multiple users screen and have the content profile nodes created and populated. It's similar to what's been in there for required core profile fields.

Access Denied to Content Profile Nodes

I am using the content profile module. After creating a content type, Bio, and designating it to be used as a user profile, users get an access denied message when attempting to view any profile other than their own. I created several Bio nodes for several users. According to the content profile release notes, those nodes are accessed through mysite/user/userid/profile/bio. Those nodes are only visible to their creators or the administrator. All others get the access denied message. I have given all users permission to access content.

Using NodeProfile and Ubercart

I am using:
Drupal - 5.19
Ubercart - 1.7
Node Profile - 1.4

During the development of my current project, I have been asked to add a number of "registration" fields to the checkout process in ubercart. One of the options that I am looking at is using nodeprofile, which would then allow all reports etc to contain the values. The other option is to manually hard code these fields into a new table - but this does not allow for the profiles to be managed or enhanced at a later date with new fields.

Confusing edit options with content profile

Hi,

I've installed the Content Profile node and it causing me some confusion. I have the module activated and created a content type named "user profile". The "use this content as a content profile" IS checked.

1) I can now create fields in both the "profile" setting AND the content-type settings. Which should I be using. (I want ALL the fields exposed on registration.)

More access permissions

Hi,

Could anyone help me a little. I'm trying to modify Content Profile module so I can add more permissions exept administer nodes that can create a profile for other users. Since there are many places in the code that deal with access permissions I can't seem to find the right spot to add 1 more permission.

This seems to be the right place for that:


function content_profile_page_access($type, $account) {
if ($node = content_profile_load($type, $account->uid)) {
return node_access('update', $node);
}

Extending core Profile module

This is a request for comments / interest in extending the core Profile module itself in Drupal 6. It is a bit off topic for the group, but this group is closest of any to the topic.

Background
Leading to a core module hack, so here is the full background.

After developing in Drupal 5 and 6 over the last two years, I just hit complex profile requirements in 3 different projects at the same time. Each have different access requirements and field requirements.

Attempt One: Profile module

Can I use any 'profile as node' modules to link users in a heirarchy?

I am trying to set up a new Drupal site with a complex set of permissions. It's a file management site that will allow a company (parent user) to create an account, then create accounts for their clients (child users). The parent and child users can then upload and share documents in a secure way. The parent user should have access to all nodes created by all of their child users, but nothing else. Child users should only have access to nodes they've created or nodes the parent has created for them.
