Hello, I'm creating a Website on which the users need multiple profiles of the same content type (ex: character). Would it be possible to limit the number of instances or maybe include a fee to create them? I would also like to know if there is a way to put together these multiple profiles in content type groups (ex: all characters from theater together, from tv together aside, etc... being theater,tv,etc... different content types)

Please don't report this as duplicate of http://drupal.org/node/285437 or http://drupal.org/node/285387 because these don't say anything usable.

But it's duplicate of it (http://drupal.org/node/285387).

Multiple profiles per user are not supported and won't be, because most likely this feature requests stems from a misuse of the module. A user should only have one profile. Perhaps you could add a profile, to which users can add characters e.g. by node relations. But this is not the scope of this module.

But it is very relative to say that is a misuse. What I'm doing is creating a RPG Tabletop Website where the people have characters (profiles) that they later use in Forums, using node comment...This modificates drupal too much, and I would have many problems with future update, specially in og. So I think I will just create an user for each character.

What I meant with "please don't duplicate" is just don't tell that it was a duplicate and nothing else, becasue on those issues it's not answered if it would be possible, just that is not suitable. Anyway thank you for clarifying that this won't be supported, that is what I needed to know. :)

I'll just close it here because the requested is clarified here.

I had the urge to add profiles before adding a corresponding user and simply commented out the check.

// if (content_profile_profile_exists($node, $uid)) {
if (false) {
form_set_error('name', t('This user has already a content profile of this type. You can only create one profile per user.'));

As users are added, I reset the "author".

Hey, that was easy! Will the link to add the profile persist too? Do you have to edit each profile to change the author or there is a way to change authors faster? Thank you!

You can just create a 'characters' content type and add in panels and cck fields, etc... without going through this module.

Right now I'm using a selfmade module to do this. I need those "characters" to write comments and retain karma and points, so now they are alias users of the main users. Thank you anyway. :)
