Customizing the user profile layout per role
Last modified: August 26, 2009 - 03:00
Using the redirect for the user pages is great but if you have several roles and want to have different pages for those roles you have to tweak it a bit more.
The roles information is in the $fields variable. For one role per user it is easy, you just get the key of the $field array and do a switch like this:
<?php
/**
* Catch the theme_user_profile function, and redirect through the template api
*/
function phptemplate_user_profile($user, $fields = array()) {
// Pass to phptemplate, including translating the parameters to an associative array. The element names are the names that the variables will be assigned within your template.
// potential need for other code to extract field info
switch ( key($fields) ) {
case "Role1" :
return _phptemplate_callback('user_profile_role1', array('userObj' => $user, 'fields' => $fields));
break;
case "Role2":
return _phptemplate_callback('user_profile_role2', array('userObj' => $user, 'fields' => $fields));
break;
}
}
?>For several user roles per user there are more array elements in the $field variable thus if you want to go fine grained you have to do a foreach or something.

User Profile Preprocess Function
Not sure why I didn't see this before, but you can use an user-profile preprocess function to add template_file suggestions for user roles:
<?phpfunction phptemplate_preprocess_user_profile(&$variables) {
// Add template suggestions based on roles
if (in_array('role1', $variables['account']->roles)) {
$variables['template_files'][] = 'user-profile-role1';
}
}
?>
Or, if you want to automatically generate template suggestions based on the users role:
<?phpfunction phptemplate_preprocess_user_profile(&$variables) {
// Add template suggestions based on roles
foreach ($variables['account']->roles as $role) {
$variables['template_files'][] = 'user-profile-'. preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]+/', '-', $role);
}
}
?>
The second example has one disadvantage though: roles are alphabetically sorted, so the last role with a template will be the one used for the user profile. With the first example, you can control the weight of role template suggestions.
Drupal 6.x User profile by role
In this example, I wanted the role named "band member" to display their user profiles using only the Content Profile data authored with their username. I did not want to display the Picture or History.
For all other users, I wanted to display the default user profile page, including their Picture and History.
The following code goes in a new file named user-profile.tpl.php which resides in sites/all/themes/[your_custom_theme_name]:
<?php /* user profile page displayed by role*/
$user_obj = user_load(arg(1));
if (in_array('band member', $user_obj->roles)) { ?>
<div class="profile">
<?php print $profile[content_profile]; ?>
</div>
<?php }
else { ?>
<div class="profile">
<?php print $user_profile; ?>
</div>
<?php }
