Has anyone ever successfully combined the fields of the default user "account settings" page and a custom profile page (exp. "Personal Information")? By default these are separate tabs.

My hunch is this would take a fair amount of effort including the creation of a custom template to combine the forms and functionality to save the results accordingly. Perhaps not exceedingly complicated, but potentially time-consuming.

Thoughts?

I never pursued it. I know it's possible because it's already being done on the registration form. It would certainly be a nice option (i.e. combined or separate tabs.)

In D6, look at content_profile, advanced_profile with panels. The combination of these will allow you to set up a custom 'panel' with sections laid out as you like, each containg whatever content you want to put in each section.

I think the question is about how to combine the profile categories, so that there will be one form where all the form items, from the categories involved are in , with just one submit button to save the combined forms.

terabitez, you are correct. We're talking forms here or rather combining all the profile form elements with the account edit form.

The modules you pointed out are very useful and I'm sure the information will be useful to some users.

Have you been able to implement 'account' & 'user info' on a single page without tabs. If yes, please let me know how to achieve that in D6.

Either it is too difficult or too easy. Please provide some insight.

I personally never pursued it. It's certainly possible, but would definitely require some effort.

I haven't fully tested this yet, but it seems to work for me with a minor change to the profile module.

On line 559 of profile.module:

function _profile_get_fields($category, $register = FALSE) {
  $args = array();
  $sql = 'SELECT * FROM {profile_fields} WHERE ';
  $filters = array();
  if ($register) {
    $filters[] = 'register = 1';
  }
  else {
    // Use LOWER('%s') instead of PHP's strtolower() to avoid UTF-8 conversion issues.
    $filters[] = "LOWER(category) = LOWER('%s')";
    $args[] = $category;
  }
  if (!user_access('administer users')) {
    $filters[] = 'visibility != %d';
    $args[] = PROFILE_HIDDEN;
  }
  $sql .= implode(' AND ', $filters);
  $sql .= ' ORDER BY category, weight';
  return db_query($sql, $args);
}

becomes

function _profile_get_fields($category, $register = FALSE) {
  $args = array();
  $sql = 'SELECT * FROM {profile_fields} WHERE ';
  $filters = array();
  if ($register) {
    $filters[] = 'register = 1';
  }
  else {
    // Use LOWER('%s') instead of PHP's strtolower() to avoid UTF-8 conversion issues.
//    $filters[] = "LOWER(category) = LOWER('%s')";
//    $args[] = $category;
     $filters[] = "1 = 1"; // adding this so we can leave the WHERE statement above
  }
  if (!user_access('administer users')) {
    $filters[] = 'visibility != %d';
    $args[] = PROFILE_HIDDEN;
  }
  $sql .= implode(' AND ', $filters);
  $sql .= ' ORDER BY category, weight';
  return db_query($sql, $args);
}

The entire profile is loading on user/%/edit for me and I'm able to save changes.

Works perfectly for me. Thanks!

I hate messing with core modules though. While this is good for a hack, I'm hoping there's a more Drupal-proper way someone can come up with...

There is even a simple module that does this for you now. http://drupal.org/project/onepageprofile

At the time of the posted hack the one page profile module didn't exist, but it's good to see someone finally produced a solution.

Do you know the module, which can place any drupal form into the node ?
If there is something like that, there is a module Node in CCK - http://drupal.org/project/nodeincck , it can inject a node into the cck form, so if the node would contain a form , it could be done.
What do you think ?
