Is there any documentation of this module? In my case a very simple bullet-format list of things to do will be enough. I just installed the module but I am not sure where to begin.

I second this. I've installed the module and seen the "profile" content type. I even added/deleted some users, but still no nodes of type profile. How do you get this machine running? Some basic "getting started" documentation would be great.

Can anyone elucidate how a content_profile node is different from any other cck node?

hello
i have good news :) or not
i think that i have discovered how this module works

- install the module ( for sure )
- edit any content type ( for example : admin/content/node-type/profile )
- down on the page there is a collapsed fieldset that is called : "Content Profile", check the box called : "Use this content type as a content profile for users"
- save and create a new node with this content.
- only one node can be created by user ( the user is the one loggued in or the one set in "Authoring information" )
- then, when the node is saved, you can see a beautifull node in the profile of the user ( if you want to describe a user or add special fields/comments linked to a user ) ( follow the link : user/1 for the admin user )
- thats all for what i have seen ( so now i know that this module is not the one i need ) :)

Hello.
I'm also having some serious problems getting this module to work properly. I have everything set up as listed above, default 'profile' content type, check use this as profile, content_profile-display-view.tpl.php in theme folder, etc. I go to my user page (i.e. user/1) and get the link (as configured) "create user profile." I then create a test profile, which never displays on the user page. The profile is created, exists under admin/content and can be viewed as a seperate node, with its own URL, but it doesn't display on the user's page. I've tried with several different users and roles. No luck.

some documentation for this module would be extremely helpful. If it helps anyone (still didn't help me) this weblink is the only thing I found helpful: http://www.anelloconsulting.com/author_biographies_nodes_using_content_p...
thx

Especially for the content_profile_registration module

Title: Is there any documentation/giude? » Registration integration: documentation/giude?
Version: 6.x-1.0-beta2 » 6.x-1.x-dev
Category: support » bug

with beta3 there is a README containing some documentation, but it's still missing for the registration module.

I agree that some more doc would sure be nice.

Are there any pre-requisite modules?

I have already implemented the profile module. Do I need to disable it before installing content_profile? What do I do with the fields/data that I already created with the profile module?

I suspect I'm not the only one that installs a module without reading the Readme, enables it, and then looks for an admin page to see what it can do.

If this is you, just be sure to read the included README.txt file. The most important bits are:

* There will be a new content type "profile". Customize its settings at admin/content/types.
* At the bottom of each content type edit form, there is a checkbox, which allows you to mark a content type as profile.
* When you edit a profile content type there will be a further tab "Content profile", which provides content profile specific settings.
