Proposal to change default user profile page
jerdiggity - July 16, 2009 - 00:08
What if we changed this (in user.module @ line 914):
$account->content['summary'] += array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_category',
'#attributes' => array('class' => 'user-member'),
'#weight' => 5,
'#title' => t('History'),
);
$account->content['summary']['member_for'] = array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_item',
'#title' => t('Member for'),
'#markup' => format_interval(REQUEST_TIME - $account->created),
);to (something like) this:
$account->content['summary'] += array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_category',
'#attributes' => array('class' => 'user-member'),
'#weight' => 5,
'#title' => t('Summary'),
);
$account->content['summary']['member_for'] = array(
'#type' => 'user_profile_item',
'#title' => t('Member since'),
'#markup' => check_plain(strftime('%B %Y', $account->created)),
);?
Or maybe the word "Overview" instead of "Summary"?
I uploaded an image with "before-and-after" screenshots (http://drupal.org/files/issues/summary.jpg)... I just think the "changed" version seems a little more aesthetically pleasing, especially for D7UX.
I also wrote a small & simple module that will do this (for 6.x -- http://drupal.org/project/alterprofilepage) but I personally (IMHO) would like to see it incorporated into the drupal core.
Thoughts?
.
Posting in a deprecated forum is a good way to ensure no one sees this. ;)
I suggest filing an issue against user.module.

I'm looking for folks to help me out by posting in my Coulee Region forums. You don't need to live in the area; there's plenty of general forums. But please, no Drupal support questions. :)
