Take defaults from Profile2 user profile

What's your opinion on this Rik, would it be difficult to develop? I remember you've developed the 'take default from normal user' very fast.

hehe:) Time flies when your having fun (I hope). Would still be handy.

Thanks a lot! I was also looking for this feature. Now I'm starting to implement it and I have two questions:

1) Using this new feature, I will only apply views filters based on the selections in the user profiles (Profile2 in my case), without using any Global Filter block or cache features in my site.
I'm not sure, but I think Session Cache API is not used anymore in this use case, so maybe it could be possible to remove it as a required dependency of Global Filter module. If this is not possible, I would like to know what Session Cache storage option is more recommended for my case (I don't need any cache storage, but it's mandatory to select one option if the Session Cache module is enabled).

2) Now the changes in user profiles are evaluated only at login, so the users must logout and login again in order to have the changes applied to the corresponding filters and views (not very user friendly...). There is some way to apply changes made in user profiles without forcing the users to logout and login again?

Thanks again RdeBoer, this module rocks! :)

Thanks Rik!
I will pick the $_SESSION and try the solution of putting the global filter block on the profile page (surely not my ideal solution, but could do the trick for the moment). Fixed for me...

Yes, setting the global filters on submit/update of profiles would be perfect for my use-case and would eliminate the need for any Global Filter blocks.

Thanks Rik,

That would satisfy my use-case, but I've done some quick-testing of the dev version and the "upon submit" option doesn't seem to work.

In module configuration I've checked both options (upon login and upon submit) and the login option still works OK but submitting the user profile doesn't make any change in my global filters.

I've run update.php and also cleared all caches, but it still doesn't seem to do anything. I want to use Profile2, but I've also tested with core profile and doesn't work either upon submit (it works correctly upon login in both cases).

OK, the results of my tests using last dev (with messages during execution activated):

1) Profile2 changes with the option "Provide a separate page for editing profiles" DESELECTED works perfectly (changes apply when saved and also upon login). After saving the messages show as expected:

Global Filter field_ambito: setting value from user profile...
Global Filter field_ambito: changing from 8 to 9
Global Filter field_mercado: setting value from user profile...
Global Filter field_mercado: changing from 11 to 10

2) Profile2 changes with the option "Provide a separate page for editing profiles" SELECTED only applies upon login (no messages or changes in global filters when saved). NOTE: The goal of this option is to make the Profile2 page available on /profile-examplename/uid instead of inside the profile (/user/uid/edit/examplename)

3) Core profile doesn´t seem to work different to previous dev: Changes only applies upon login (no messages or changes in global filters are showed when saved).

My desired configuration is 2): Profile2 with the separate page activated (having that separate page is the only reason why I want to use Profile2).

All right, now it's working perfectly for the 3 options! (core profile and Profile2 with and without separate page).

Maybe the core profile problem was caused by something in my configuration or set of installed modules (although that would be strange, because I think I haven't done any change since the test with the previous dev version). I've been thinking about a possible explanation without any success... Anyway, now it's working! :)

Thanks for all your help, Rik!

I suggested the features to take default from Profile2 and have been following this topic ever since then. The new features will definitely come in handy for me as well. Thanks Rik for the work you put into this!
