User interests as categories
brollo - April 17, 2008 - 02:16
Hi Folks,
I would like to create a user profile field name "Interests & Hobbies".
The user can enter a comma separated list of his/her interests and hobbies.
Now, I would like to use these as categories, so that other users may browse user profiles using these interests and hobbies tags.
Is there any way of using an existing module for obtaining this results?
Thanks in advance
yes, it's in the core already...
when you go to add a field to a user profile (e.g. you add a new one called 'hobby') you will also see an option lower down on that same page to "name a page" where such users are listed - what that means is that the 'hobby' is a hyperlink that links to a page listing all members into that thing...
the easiest way to manage this is with a dropdown from which users select (to keep it clean, eg i might put 'tennis' somebody else puts 'playing tennis' - but the page should catch it all...

Ok, but
Ok, its working now .
I create a single line text field called "Interests" then I provide the "Page Name" and this field automatically becomes a link on the user profile page.
The problem is that I want to put many interests, separated by commas and each one of them will have its own link to its page.
For example, if I now put "sport, travel and cinema" , this whole string will be te link whereas I need something where each and every interest is a single link, ie: "sport", link, "travel" link and "cinema" link.
Its like as if I am tagging my own user profile with certain categories. But in this way there is no Vocabulary defined. I dont know if I will need one for this issue, neither how I could use one, but is it possible just with the profile module to obtain this result?
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help
