Hi to everyone

first: thank you very very much for this module, I think you're doing a great work :)

I would like to know (as I couldn't find a way myself to do this) if there's a way to access the Cck content of a profile created with "Content Profile" module. To be clear:

Profile Content type: user_profile
Fields: realname, lastname, birthdate

How can I print this three fields in the forum page for example? or in the footer of a node created by this user?
I ask this because I had to create different types of profile and I need to access come field from each one on them in particular pages.

Is there a way so?
Thank you in advance :)

Yes, it can be done. For an example, check the RealName module.

I'm also needing to display Content Profile CCK fields in a View, and hopefully also in a Node.

I had a look at the RealName module, and now my site returns this error, after I tried to configure RealName.

"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

The only way to get the site back to 'functioning' was to remove the module.
From what I can tell the current Developer is looking for new maintaners and is not able to continue support.

I've been about to create a relationship to a new CCK field that I manually populate with the Profile Node ID.
Which is a bit of a work around, as I now need a method of auto entering the Profile Node ID from the Author of the Node.

Thanks in advance

Well, I am that developer and I will be continuing support as soon as I can kick RealLife™ back into the closet.

However, I mentioned the module only as an example of how to access the fields, not to get a new user.

No worries NancyDru

I found this online article, which helped me with what I needed :

And this one about taking a new 'related' view and turning into a block on the current page :
