I would like to display Content Profile fields (Full Name, brief bio, etc.) in a node along with the normal node content. I.e., a Article is created, and the author name and bio is displayed as well. I was hoping to do this by using the CCK user reference field. I would like the content creator to be able to simply select a contributing user from a list, and then the Content Profile information will be automatically displayed based on the UID.

How do I do this in content templates? I.e., how do I print a Content Profile field (like "field_display_name") based on the selection of a particular user?

Thanks,
Maria

hm, use a node reference field instead - you can use auto nodetitle to let it have right titles or a view. Then select a option to show the content of the referenced node. I don't know if there is such an option, but that's the way it would work easily.

Has anyone figured out a way of doing this. I have tried node reference but don't see how to make it work?

I would like to know how to do this as well. I did many searches on google and the various drupal user groups, but there is no current solution.

I think the http://drupal.org/project/viewfield module would do this pretty easily. Add the viewfield to the content types that need a bio and pass %author or %nid to a view to extract whatever field you want from the user's content profile.

I'm going to try this in a few days - I let you know if it works. I can't imagine why it wouldn't.

Yes it did. I am not using it yet because the author's bios have not been completed.

Old thread, but I'm looking to do the same in Drupal 8. Did anyone figure out how to do this with entity references?
