PROFILE SETUP INSTALL AND CONFIGURATION

The profile setup module for Drupal 6 integrates with the pageroute module to give site admins the ultimate flexibility when creating a profile setup workflow because they can choose to use any type of profile "user" or "content or node" profiles.

CONFIGURATION STEPS

  1. Install the module as normal
  2. Install the pageroute module
  3. Use the pageroute module and the profile_setup pageroute pages to create a profile setup workflow, see http://drupal.org/node/310795 for more help with the pageroute module.

    4. The profile_setup module provides 3 forms/page types for the pageroute module:

    1. profile picture upload form : allows users to upload a profile picture
    2. change username form : allows users to change their username
    3. account category forms (different to version provided by pageroute as works with content profile module too) : provides the option to create a form from each of profile "edit" sub sections.
      • Using Content Profile Module: If you are using Content Profile you much select Show a secondary tab below the user's edit tab under Profile edit tab in the content profile content type tab per content type.
      • Using Profile Module: If you are using core Profile account categories are automatically created as you create profile fields.
  4. Once you have created your pageroute workflow navigate to the profile_setup configuration pages @ Administer > User Management > Profile Setup and select the pageroute "route" or workflow you want to use from the profile setup workflow.
  5. Grant the "use profile setup" permission to users who should be able to use the profile setup workflow
  6. IMPORTANT!
    @ Administer > User Management > User Settings
    Uncheck the "Require e-mail verification when a visitor creates an account" checkbox so that users are logged in straight after registration
    (TODO: Need to make this redirect work after email validation too)

The profile setup will automatically redirect users when they first register or first login (via login form or login block).
