enhancing the user page with photos, more descriptive text...how?
Stoob - January 26, 2009 - 18:06
Hi thanks for reading!
Is it possible with Drupal to configure it or install a module that will allow each user to upload a photo and additional text areas in their personal user page? It's like this page for example http://drupal.org/user/4166 but a bit more "Facebooky" with photos, and more text not just "personal information" but other categories of user-uploaded text? I'd also like to get hide certain sections of the user page such as History.
Is there a template that I edit within Drupal to make these changes to this page? Or is there a module that can be installed to improve and enhance the user page page with more user customizable sections?
Thanks!

Hmm, any ideas?

in administer -> profiles are your options from core.
you can investigate the advanced profile .module which expands what you can do. Beyond that the only other way I can see to handle what you require is to turn profiles into nodes and use a CCK created content type. content profile.module may help here.
To better understand theming the profiles have a look at the theme developers guide where you can use a custom.tpl.php file for profiles.

Thank you, Advanced Profile
Thank you, Advanced Profile looks awesome! Why it is not in the "User Management" category of Drupal Modules site I have no idea.
here are some other links I found that would be helpful.
http://drupal.org/project/content_profile (like advanced profile sort of)
http://drupal.org/project/terms_of_use
http://drupal.org/project/myaccount_alter
.
When I created APK, "user management" was about, well, user management. But, looking at it now, everything vaguely user related seems to have been shoved in there. So I went ahead and added it.
Content profile isn't like APK... APK makes use of content profile but they are quite different.
