I installed the CCK and phone modules. How do I add phone number fields to a user profile?

I expected a new field type to appear at the bottom of the user profile screen, but it only shows the following fields:

"Add new field
* single-line textfield
* multi-line textfield
* checkbox
* list selection
* freeform list
* URL
* date"

I have CCK (cck-6.x-2.6.tar.gz) and phone (phone-6.x-2.11.tar.gz) modules installed and enabled, and am operating as an administrator with rights for everything EXCEPT "block module: use PHP for block visibility" and "content module: Use PHP input for field settings."

Does the phone module actually add a new type of field that I can use in user profiles? Or does it just validate certain fields? How do I use it?

Thanks.

CCK does not integrate with the core profile module. The core profile module is very basic-- if you want cck fields for profiles you need to use the content_profile module.

I have cck, phone and content_profile installed and enabled, and I still don't see the phone field at the bottom of the user profile screen. These modules and versions are installed:

I still end up with the following profile. There does not appear to be a way to replace my telephone and fax fields with "phone" fields:

User Profile

  • Company Description
    • Company Overview (Abstract) profile_company_overview textarea
    • Founded profile_date_founded date
  • Company Name
    • Company Name profile_company_name textfield
  • Contact
    • Telephone profile_contact_telephone textfield
    • Fax Number profile_contact_fax textfield
  • Dir Address
    • Street Address profile_street_address_0 textfield
    • Address 2 profile_supplemental_address_1 textfield
    • Address 3 profile_supplemental_address_2 textfield
    • City profile_city textfield
    • State profile_state selection
    • Postal Code profile_postal_code textfield
    • County profile_county selection
  • Directory Logo
    • Logo profile_directory_logo url
  • Industry
    • Industry profile_industry selection
  • Name
    • Prefix profile_name_prefix textfield
    • First Name profile_name_first textfield
    • Middle Name (MI) profile_name_middle textfield
    • Last Name profile_name_last textfield
    • Suffix profile_name_suffix textfield

Add new field

* single-line textfield
* multi-line textfield
* checkbox
* list selection
* freeform list
* URL
* date

Shouldn't there be a "phone" field type?

Thanks for your help.

When content_profile is enabled, it creates a new content type called "profile" iirc-- that's where your cck phone field needs to be added. There will also be a tab named "content profile" where you configure it to interact with the user page. While you can use both core profile and cck profiles, I'm not sure what the advantage would be-- i'd just modify the profile content type to have all the fields you want and disable the core profile module. This is described in the readme.txt file for the content_profile module as well.
