user relationship

What's the go-to solution for making profiles into nodes in Drupal 7?

The current standard for an enhanced profile module is Profile 2 and it is built on the Entity API. And there is no release of Content Profile for Drupal 7. What's the new way to make profiles into nodes?

In Drupal 6 it was easy to integrate the User Relationships module with Content Profile to create a private profile that other users needed to request to view. Now, I'm at a loss as to how to make this work in Drupal 7 since User Relationships does not provide Entity Access capability, just Node Access.

I looking for solution or ideas about how to solve this problem in Drupal 7.

I am going to have a site where users will be working in pairs. One user(Poster) will be posting nodes and another user(Viewer) should have View access to posters nodes. Nobody else outside of these 2 users should be able View the the Posters nodes.

I have thought using the User Relationship module, but it seems overly complicated for what I am trying and would present other problems for my purposes.

hi,

I want to build a custom module to see if I (as logged-in user) have a relationship to an any user when viewing nodes created by an other user.

Someting like this.

Let's say we have a default drupal installation with two users "User A" and "User B" and the User Relationship module to create relationships between users.
- User A and User B have no "friends".
- User A logs in and he creates several blog entries.
