Add support for user fields

Totally agreed.... if there is no way of adding fields provided by the NEW FIELD API this module is USELESS for Drupal 7... since the core profile module is DEPRECATED on D7 and recommended not using it at all... please work on having this module really working on D7.

The attached patch REPLACES profile fields with the fields on the account.

This patch will NOT support legacy systems using the profile module, so will probably need some work before added to this module, unless this module no longer wants to support the profile fields, but guessing this is not the case.

In any case, if you are a new setup, and not using the profile fields this patch should work for you.

I'm all for this as well.

However, maybe this belongs as a sub-module of vcard so it doesn't completely break the existing functionality.

Not Sure it is worth a su-module with only 200 installs currently, but definitely seems weird that we have to use profiles instead of standard fields.

I would suggest either a major version change that keys off of fields on accounts instead of profile fields, or adding a settings option in vcard to choose which fields to use.

Or perhaps automatically use Profile fields if the profile module exists, otherwise use account fields.

Any chance of getting any of these methods above committed if a patch is made? This is kindof blocking me on another module: http://drupal.org/project/diaspora

Attached is a new patch.

• This patch does the following:
• Adds a new checkbox to choose whether to use the Profile module or fields
• Makes Profile module no longer required
• If Profile module is not found, will not allow use of Profile fields (only fields directly on the account)
• Adds an update_7101 that sets all currently installed sites to default to using Profile fields
• Future installs default to Account Fields (not using Profile module)

Rerolling against latest dev.

Commited to 7.x-1.x.
Thanks.
