Profiles as nodes

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.

Maybe a naive question, but why we need Profiles as nodes?

Why not just set up one content type and only allow one node per user for this content type?

Get uid of Content profile node

Posted by jdp181 on August 19, 2009 at 10:07am

Hello,

Sorry if I've missed something obvious. How do I get the uid of a content profile node (not the author but the Content profile association) I can't see how Content profile stores the relationship (uid - profile nid) in the DB.

Tabs inconsistency?

Posted by talino on July 31, 2009 at 12:49pm

Hello all. There's something I don't get with the Content Profile module. I've installed it and all works well, users can edit their own profiles which are based on a custom CCK form, everything's fine.

Some of the fields in that form are viewable to everyone but not editable directly by the user the profile is attached to (such as their position in the organization).

Comments on Content Profiles

Posted by halfiranian on July 30, 2009 at 6:42am

Hi everyone,

Apologies if this is a simple issue, but I've been pulling my hair out over it for a few days now.

I'm using Content Profile to make my user profiles nodes, but I can't seem to get comments on my user pages.

My profile node type is set to have comments and the comment form appears when you go directly to the node page (e.g. node/123).

However, when visiting the user page (user/123) all the content from the profile node is included except the comment form.

Output Apparently Unavailable

Since I'm at least neck deep in a project for our startup company, not having time to see if I can recreate my Content Profile problem on a fresh install as requested prior to expanding the issue queue, I followed the link to this group hoping for expedited salvation.

I have read the readme twice (not to mention explored the issue queue) and despite what it says, I cannot output anything Content Profile in comment.tpl.php, and really need to promptly remedy that.

Some basic facts about my Drupal install:

Drupal 6.13
Content Profile 6.x-1.0-beta4
Automatic Nodetitles 6.x-1.1

Adding links to User's content on their profile

Posted by tevih on July 9, 2009 at 10:13pm

Hello,

I am allowing users to create their own content - photo albums, videos, blog, etc - and I am using user relationships nodeaccess to limit access to the user's content to only their friends. I am also using usernode and advanced profile. What I would like to do is have a link to all user's content on their profile page, such as "My Photo Albums" or "My Videos". I'm really stumped on how to add this.

I am using Drupal 5.

Retrieving the Node Id of the profile of the current user

Posted by davidzo on June 3, 2009 at 9:33pm

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.

User to User: send field data

Posted by jdave2417 on May 5, 2009 at 10:31pm

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!

Auto-created Profile Nodes on Register

Posted by dsms on April 5, 2009 at 7:07pm

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

Thanks in advance,

Content Profile with image gallery

Posted by tsvenson on March 27, 2009 at 4:56am

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.

creating a user profile module

Posted by sharique on March 18, 2009 at 12:34pm

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.

function mybio_insert($node) {
   $res = db_result(db_query('select count(*) from {mybio} where uid=%d',$node->uid));
   
   if($res != 0)
  {   
       form_set_error('name','You have already created a profile.');
      return ;//t('You have already created a profile. ');
 }else
  {   
   db_query("insert into {mybio} (nid,vid,uid,address,city,state,dateofbirth)
             values(%d, %d, %d, '%s', '%s', '%s', '%s')",
     $node->nid, $node->vid, $node->uid, $node->address, $node->city,$node->state,date($node->dateofbirth));
   }
}

Can Content Profile module help filter data based on current user? How?

Posted by wellis on February 27, 2009 at 3:11pm

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

Profiles for (drupal-) users and members of brass band

Posted by finke77 on February 21, 2009 at 10:50am

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 ...

extending the initial profile page

Posted by irishgringo on February 18, 2009 at 4:20pm

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.

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

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

Extending the content profile module - docs?

Posted by tmetzger on February 5, 2009 at 7:26pm

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.
