I'm confused about the Bio module, it says you can have 1 bio. (Use bio module to have 1 user-1 profile structure)
Does this mean 1 type of bio per role or just 1 bio for any role ?

use case:
2 roles (user types if you will): staff and management
each role needs a different bio with different fields, ex.

  • staff: name, phone, office,...
  • management: responsible for, secretary name, name, phone, office,...

thanks

Bio is a simple module where you assign one node type to be a profile and each user gets one, regardless of role.

You want a combination of role signup and nodeprofile for what you are trying to do.

Couldn't you just use bio.module and then use views, or Michelle's cool Advanced_Profile to display the given information to any given role...

I would think any time you try to have 2 different user nodes, users maintaining two different places for info... it might create more issues down the road.

It means one Bio node per user, so all users will have the same fields etc, however you might find my new module helpful http://drupal.org/project/bio_role_terms so you can control which roles can see which other roles profiles or http://drupal.org/project/cck_field_perms to allow you to only let some roles fill in some fields.
