profiles

botafoc.cat is the beginning of a project to be focused on making a distribution of drupal simple, base and complete.

This distribution was created with the idea of ​​not repeating the typical configurations that are each installed drupal (activation and configuration of modules). This includes the typical modules are installed at all sites with drupal ( views, pathauto, etc...). This allows us to save some time.

Hi all,

I need a few clarifications to fully understand OpenPublish:
- Why is contexts used in displaying the full articles? It appears to be used to hook blocks to it, just wondering why Views is not used here. Asking for I might be overlooking something.
- Why are only a few fields used from 'Profiles' and all the rest added to the 'Author' content type? Why not group it all in 'Author' content type? Are there any advantages doing it the current way?

Hi everyone, noob here.

The problem is, I need to filter content by comparing two fields. There are two custom fields: 'Content: Unit' (specified when content page is created) and 'Profile: Unit: Unit No.' (specified by user in his profile). So I want to show users content that is only relevant to their 'unit'.

As far as I have learnt, it's impossible to implement this in Views UI, and I've already played with Arguments settings which gave me no result.

Any suggestions on how to do that?

Team,

I’m creating user profiles for faculty and staff members. I’m using Drupal core profile module, and not very happy with the layouts, and having some issues with it. I was just wondering if anyone here is also working on similar topics. I would really appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

We are working on an alumni site and we would like to extend the drupal profile to our specs. We want to populate the profile with very basic information; name, and email address, and then notify the alum of their account being created. We then want them to be able to log in and add information at their discretion, and ideally also expose it to certain user roles at their discretion.

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know of a new (maybe great) service that allows experienced Drupal developers start up their Drupal projects quicker.

The web site's address is www.drupalmashup.interestsphere.com.

Purpose of the site is to come to the aid of experienced Drupal developers who have discovered that they rely on much the same collection of modules for a particular type of site. Once you've mashed up your collection you can view the generated drush commands and/or download the (UNIX shell) script.

Hi there!

I´ve been around this group for a while, and there have been a lot of new "drupal-for-2.0-community" stuff lately.
Anyway, there´s this thing that´s bothering me since I´ve started to get my hands dirty with Drupal, and I really need to hear what you think about:
Drupal core profiles: They are not able to be managed as nodes (duh!), and you always need some contrib module to do that for you. Can we get a usable out of the box community site?

With the vast amount of profile as nodes implementations, how do you set up your own profiles on your sites?

What I am really looking for are what modules are deprecated and rarely used to the more flexible and complete user profile solution.

Does anyone who is serious about creating complex and dynamic profile(s) ever use profile.module and if so, why?

Do you use any custom coding, and if yes then for what?

I am really looking forward to creating a profile solution for one of my sites and I want to maintain a clean back end and flexibility.

I'm a fan Install Profile Generator modules and didn't see any pending patches for Drupal 6. Can someone please update me and the community on any of these projects being worked on for 6 or a new alternative?

I'm really looking to cut down my D6 installation time, like my 5.x days. :)

I really love this new module idea. Right now i am using Drupal 5,7. So,i can't use this module. I would like to use most likely Bio module or Node profile and collect the user information using CCK fields. Is it OK ? I mean i would like to use this module after my site code upgraded to 6.X. is that right approach ? or should i wieght ? My guess, once if i have this module, i just need to re-assain CCK fiels to content type related to this module. Am i right ...or too much imaginations ? Please advise me
