theme user profiles

Sometimes, you need to merge user account edit screen and profile values to one form. Here is a snippet how to do it.

Example:
You want to merge User edit form with My personal data section of the profile.

First, you need to create your own module. Implement hook_user():

Code above will merge these two forms together and display profile form on user edit screen.

You can add a list of groups that the user has subscribed to with the following snippet. Keep in mind that if you use this snippet outside of the user profile template as set up on the Customising the user profile layout page you may need to add global $user; at the beginning to make sure you have the full user object to work with.

To make the view of the 'user profile' page compact, add the following CSS to the end of your theme's .css file. This is generally better than modifying the profile.css or user.css (or drupal.css in 4.7) directly.

Alternate version using a floating dt

Note that if the changes aren't showing up it is probably because of caching so clear your browser's cache (F5 works on many browsers.)

Adding dates to your custom profile.

This has only been tested with 4.7.0 and 5.3

This module adds a birthday into the custom profile, but you can easily customize it to add any date, such as date of death for a obituary (for a famous actor's profile maybe). You must have made a template.php already. This code should be added to your user_profile.tlp.php file.

Note that you will have to customize the profile_birthday to whatever your settings are in admin/settings/profile. To change the date layout, just move the month, day, and year around, like so:

Convert date array to date variable

Here's a simple function that will convert the profile date array to a date variable. Maybe a little clunky but you get the point:

Description

This php snippet displays multi-line textfields. If the user has not specified anything, it displays nothing

Dependencies: profile.module

Usage

• 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 field name from profile_biography used in the example below. (Tip: In Drupal 4.x go to administer -->> settings -->> profile and in the second column it will give you the field name. In Drupal 5.x the profiles settings page can be found at administer -->> user management -->> profiles)
• Tested and works with Drupal 4.5, 4.6, 4.7.x and 5.x
• Make sure you us the snippet variation of the snippet that matches the version of Drupal you are using.
• Change the div class names or the prefix text to suit.

works with Drupal 4.5.x and Drupal 4.6.x
