Description
This php snippet displays custom User Profile Freeform Fields. If the user has not specified anything, it displays nothing.
Dependencies: profile.module
Usage
- For use in your user profile page override
- Using a text editor like NOTEPAD.EXE or an equivalent, copy and paste the code into your user_profile.tpl.php file
- Change the custom profile freeform field name by changing the $fieldname value in the first line of the snippet to suit. (Tip: go to administer -->> settings -->> profile and in the second column it will give you the field name.)
- Make sure to enter a "Page title" for the custom profile freeform field. If you don't, the links won't work.
- Tested and works with Drupal 4.5 and 4.6
- Change the div class names or the prefix text to suit.
- If you are using the same snippet more than once in the same user_profile.tpl.php file add and increment a number to the end of the of the $fieldname tag e.g. $fieldname2, $fieldname3 etc. each time you copy and use the snippet.
<?php $fieldname = 'profile_keywords'; ?>
<?php if($account->$fieldname != ""): ?>
<div class="fields">
<p><b>Keywords:</b></p>
<ul>
<?php
$values = split("[,\n\r]", $account->$fieldname);
$fields = array();
foreach ($values as $value) {
if ($value = trim($value)) { ?>
<li><?php print l($value, 'profile/'. $fieldname .'/'. $value, array('title' => 'Users who share this keyword')); ?></li>
<?php }
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
Drupal 5?
I have it working for Drupal 5, but again, the assumption that clean URL's makes things difficult.
<?php $fieldname = 'profile_keywords'; ?><?php if($user->$fieldname != ""): ?>
<div class="fields">
<p><b>Keywords:</b></p>
<ul>
<?php
$temp_array = split("[\n,]", $user->$fieldname);
$count_total = count($temp_array);
for($counter=0; $counter<$count_total; $counter++):?>
<?php $link = each($temp_array) ?>
<li><?php print l($link[value], 'profile/'.$fieldname.'/'.preg_replace('[\s]', '+', trim($link[value]))) ?></li>
<?php endfor ?>
</ul>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
If you don't have clean URL's enabled, the '+' elements (substitutes for spaces) changed to a URL friendly equivalents.
Anyone else have any ideas?
does't work on my site (drupal 5.7)
I made 2 different test users that have the same keywords, the keywords come up as links but when clicked they go to a "page cannot be displayed" page. I have clean urls working btw
