Adding layout and content to the default user profile theme

The following snippet is essentially the default theme layout for a user profile (Drupal 5.x). You can use this to add content to the default, for example.

Thanks to Chrisivens for sharing the snippet.

instructions

  1. In a text editor paste the following snippet into your user_profile.tpl.php file
    (For instructions on how to get started with your own custom user profile layout click through to the Customising the user profile layout handbook page.)
  2. Upload your edited user_profile.tpl.php to your active theme folder

<?php
/**
* This is the default theme layout for user profiles (Drupal 5.x)
* Add more content or change layout to suit.
* For use in a custom user_profile.tpl.php file.
*/

foreach($fields as $category => $items) {
    if(
strlen($category) > 0) {
       
?>
<h2 class="title"><?php print check_plain($category) ?></h2>
<?php } ?>
<dl>
<?php
   
foreach($items as $item) {
        if(isset(
$item['title'])) {
           
?>
<dt class="<?php print $item['class']; ?>"><?php print $item['title']; ?></dt>
<?php } ?>
<dd class="<?php print $item['class']; ?>"><?php print $item['value']; ?></dd>

<?php } ?>
</dl>
<?php } ?>

An alternative layout would be:

<?php
  $author
= user_load(array('uid' => arg(1)));

 
$output = '<div class="profile">';
 
$output .= '<div class="picture">';
 
$output .= theme_image($author->picture);
 
$output .= '</div>';
  foreach (
$fields as $category => $items) {
    if (
strlen($category) > 0) {
     
$output .= '<h2 class="title">'. check_plain($category) .'</h2>';
    }
   
$output .= '<dl>';
    foreach (
$items as $item) {
      if (isset(
$item['title'])) {
       
$output .= '<dt class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['title'] .'</dt>';
      }
     
$output .= '<dd class="'. $item['class'] .'">'. $item['value'] .'</dd>';
    }
   
$output .= '</dl>';
  }
 
$output .= '</div>';

  print
$output;
?>

Will this work in D6?
