adding a file to a profile

create a new content type called resumes, allow the upload module to work on this content type and walla its done with no added modules. it however wouldn't be shown on the "profile"

there is no way to do that without adding modules as its not a core function in drupal.

Say you are trying to upload your resume onto your "My Account" page, do this: (I am doing it for version 4.7. Other versions should be quite similar)

1. Create a content type called content_resume using CCK with a file upload field (you can add other fields too of course if you want...i didn't, since I wanted just resume upload)

2. Go to admin -> settings -> content type and configure it as you want. If its a resume and you don't want your users to upload more than one, then you can just mark it as a node profile and restrict its population to 1.

3. Go to Admin -> blocks -> Add block and choosing the input format as php and choosing the title as My Resume (or whatever you like), paste the below code:

<?php
  $nblimit = 10; // max nodes to show, edit this value

  // Get the user id
  $uid = arg(1);

  if (is_numeric($uid)) {
    // SQL query to retrieve the nodes created by the user
    $query = "
      SELECT   created,
               title,
               nid,
               changed,
               status,
               type
      FROM     {node}
      WHERE    type='content_resume' AND uid   ='". db_escape_string($uid) ."'
      AND      status=1
      ORDER BY changed DESC
    ";

    // Execute the query while limiting the number of results
    $result = db_query_range($query, 0, $nblimit);

    // Initializes the rows
    $rows = array();

    // Loop over each found nodes
    while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
      // Add a row to our table
      $rows[] = array(
        l($node->title, 'node/'. $node->nid)
      );
    }

    // Ask Drupal to theme our table
    return theme('table', $headers, $rows);
  }
?>

4. Configure the block so that it displays only on the "my accounts" page by selecting Display on only listed pages and typing user/* in the text box.

5. Display the box as content or sidebar (whatever you like)

6. For Drupal 4.6 and 5.x versions, you can go to http://drupal.org/node/63965 and make the necessary modifications to the above code.

In this way, you can upload files, pictures and whatever else you want on your "My Account" page.
