Profiles as nodes

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a drupal site that allows a user to have multiple subscriptions to a service I run.

The subscription process works OK (via a 3rd party app) and the user account and profile fields are populated. The profile fields hold configuration data for the service they are paying for.

However, as I'm using standard profile fields, they can only have one set of configuration data per drupal profile.

Is it possible using user nodes to allow multiple sets, so that each user can have one or more sets of configuration data?

eg.

A critical bug has been discovered in CCK field data storage, which can result in possible data loss under some (rare) circumstances.

Only a very limited number of field types are potentially affected, we need the help of contrib CCK fields developpers to help us list exactly which ones, so that we can extensively test the patch before committing it.

See http://drupal.org/node/168204 for more info.

Thanks all :-)

I love the way you can use a phrase like "People who live in %" using the regular Drupal profile module and then by clicking the link, get a list of all users who live in %. I'm trying to get the same thing happening with profiles as nodes. I've tried using CCK taxonomy fields in both the Node Profiles and the Bio Modules. It almost works, but only intermittantly. Sometimes I get the message "There are currently no posts in this category ..." other times, some users will show up and others won't - even when they have been tagged with the the term.

I've put together a module called Membership types and registration modification

This module adds the ability to have several different membership types, each collecting different data from the user for registration by using custom content types and the combination of nodeprofile and pageroute modules (both required). The accounttypes module is recommended but not required. See each required module for any dependencies that they might have.

What this module does is:

I have used the node profile at http://shellmultimedia.com/node/5

I plan to extend my node profil type with the features belows :

=> The HEAD is fix and contain on the left the photo of the user and basic informations like name and last connexion on the right.

=> A set of tabs under the HEAD contains groups of informations like "contact" "Education" "Works" "socializing" "meeting"...

=>Each group of information could be a node linked to the nodeprofile of the head with the node family module but for me it can also simply be a groupe of fields of my unik CCK node profil.

Question:

I have an existing site on Drupal 4.7 with ~1000 users. I'd like to start using nodeprofile. Once I install nodeprofile and the modules it requires, how do I get information from a user's existing user page into a corresponding profile node?

Thanks!

Hey there ... i was just trying to adapt the 'Step by step creation of a full featured user profile' recipe, Michelle did on:

http://shellmultimedia.com/node/5

... when I realized, that due to the overload of request, she quit the support (so to say). So I thought, this group would be the most appropriate place to discuss matters on this tutorial.

Maybe someone in here has successfully adapted the thing. I have a specific problem:

I'd like to use this nifty little piece of code - http://drupal.org/node/64248 - to make all references to users show up as their "real name" rather than their username. But their "real name" in this case is made up of concatenating five fields from the user's nodeprofile content type.

Is it possible to refer to the nodeprofile's fields in this way? If so, how?

In the following code:

Hi,

Could somebody give me advice on how to handle the following need?

I would like to create a content type for contact information, including name, phone number, address, etc. It should be used for both users of the system and both for customers, who are not users, but "content" in the system. Users and customers should be the same content type, because I would like to handle them in the same way (displaying, editing, listing with views, searching).
