Changing User Profile Tab Menus and their contents
brollo - May 5, 2008 - 15:08
Hi all
The default tab menu provided for user profiles is one with a "Account Settings" heading.
1)What if I want to change this header?
2) What if I want to place some of the fields in here to other groups (ie other tabs defined for user profiles??)
For example, the location module provides in the "Account Settings" section a form to enter location detail.
Now, I want to create a new group "Personal Information" and place the location stuff in this tab.
Can anyone point me out to solving these kinf of problems?
Thanks in advance
Create module and use the
Create module and use the the pathways to the user module in the menu code. This is an example that will and a tab and child links to the users tabs when they visit their account. This is for 4.7 so you will have to moddify it to suit 5.0 or 6.0.

$items[] = array('path' => 'user/'. arg(1) .'/edit/forum', 'title' => t('forum profile'),
'callback' => 'forum_profile_edit', 'access' => $user->uid == arg(1) || user_access('administer users'),
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK);
$items[] = array('path' => 'user/'. arg(1) .'/edit/personal', 'title' => t('personal profile'),

Thanks, but..
Hey, thanks
Could you be a bit more specific though. I know your code goes in the hook_menu for some module.. but..
What module do I create? Isn't changing drupal user module good enough in this case?
You could change the
You could change the user.module but I don't recommend it. Just create a module of any type or name. You could also add code to another contirbuted module. Unless you consider yourself satisfied with the version you are using or a Drupal expert, you want to leave a core file like user.module alone.
The syntax for drupal 6
<?php
function page_example_menu() {
// This is the minimum information you can provide for a menu item.
$items['foo'] = array(
'title' => 'Foo',
'page callback' => 'page_example_foo',
'access arguments' => array('access foo'),
);
// By using the MENU_CALLBACK type, we can register the callback for this
// path but not have the item show up in the menu; the admin is not allowed
// to enable the item in the menu, either.
//
// Notice that the 'page arguments' is an array of numbers. These will be
// replaced with the corresponding parts of the menu path. In this case a 0
// would be replaced by 'bar', a 1 by 'baz', and like wise 2 and 3 will be
// replaced by what ever the user provides. These will be passed as arguments
// to the page_example_baz() function.
$items['bar/baz/%/%'] = array(
'title' => 'Baz',
'page callback' => 'page_example_baz',
'page arguments' => array(2, 3),
'access arguments' => array('access baz'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
);
return $items;
}
?>

A single method module?
So what a module that only implements a menu hook? (apart from other non-harming ones: help, perm, etc.. )
And somehow make it override the user defaults? I still am not clear about how this would be done..
I am still searching for the total illumination
Thanks anyways

GOt it, but
Ok , I kind of managed to get it working even though the workflow is still not going right.
I have a module with just the hook_menu implemented. Just by the Paths that are entered the right tabs and submenus get automatically generated in the user profile page.
The question is now:
How do I change which fields appear under each tab menu?
For example, I'd like to put the user profile picture field into a single separte tag called "User Picture". How do I do that ?
Look at the code
Hey
I kind of am getting something now.
But I am still not really understanding how the whole work flow goes.
Example: For the user picture/avatar being rendered into a different tab menu item, I have now the following code in the costum module and hook_menu function
$items[] = array('path' => 'user/'. arg(1) .'/edit/picture', 'title' => t('Picture'),'callback' => 'SOME_FUNCTION', 'callback arguments' => array( 'user_edit'),
'access' => $user->uid == arg(1) , 'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK);
So, I added the "/picture" to the path key.. I dont know if this is right, I just made it up.
Then I put the callback in and this can be redirected to a function to render the appropriate form ..
I got the user profile for if I callback to a function such as :
function my_module_change_form(){
if (variable_get('user_pictures', 0) && !$register) {
$form['picture'] = array('#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t('Picture'), '#weight' => 1);
$picture = theme('user_picture', (object)$edit);
if ($picture) {
$form['picture']['current_picture'] = array('#value' => $picture);
$form['picture']['picture_delete'] = array('#type' => 'checkbox', '#title' => t('Delete picture'), '#description' => t('Check this box to delete your current picture.'));
}
else {
$form['picture']['picture_delete'] = array('#type' => 'hidden');
}
$form['picture']['picture_upload'] = array('#type' => 'file', '#title' => t('Upload picture'), '#size' => 48, '#description' => t('Your virtual face or picture. Maximum dimensions are %dimensions and the maximum size is %size kB.', array('%dimensions' => variable_get('user_picture_dimensions', '85x85'), '%size' => variable_get('user_picture_file_size', '30'))) .' '. variable_get('user_picture_guidelines', ''));
}
// $form['picture']['picture_submit'] = array('#type'=> submit, '#value' => t('Submit'));
$form['#submit']['picture_submit'] = array();
$output = drupal_render(theme('table', $form['header']['#value'], $rows));
$output.= drupal_render($form); // Process any other fields and display them
return $output;
}
The problems are that:
1) No submit button or submit button not working..
2) Still I dont understand how this whole thing can be handled.. For example: User location fields. (location.module) ; here I need to hack through the location module because it is the responsable for placing location form into the "account" tab!!
This what I have written so
This what I have written so far for trying to customize the layout under each user tab.
The thing I try here is to place the "user picture/avatar" field in a different tab "Picture" .
I try it in two different ways, with the _user hook and with the _menu hook.
I cannot get in one way the Submit button to actually submit and in other case ..
Can anyone help me fix this out please?

Have you tried avatar module
Have you tried avatar module from http://chapter3llc.com/? There is a tutorial and a module for your need there, no official release as I know this far, but the module just works fine if you only need to move user picture.
