Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me with the code to check if content profile (named "profile") exists on the page.tpl.php

I am wanting to print a link for "Create Profile" if content profile does not exist, and print a link for "Edit Profile" if the content profile exists.

Many thanks!

global $user;
$node->type = 'profile';
$node->language = 'en';
if(content_profile_profile_exists($node, $user->uid))
  {print ("<strong>exists</strong>");}
  else
     {print ("<strong>doesn't exist</strong>");}

Not sure about $node->language but it works.

For more details see: http://drupalcontrib.org/api/function/content_profile_profile_exists/6

Thanks for that snippet. A step further is to link right into the authenticated user's edit or create Content Profile form:

global $user;
$node->type = 'profile';
$node->language = 'en';
if(content_profile_profile_exists($node, $user->uid)) {
  print ("<strong>Profile exists</strong>");
} else {
  print (
    l('Create your Profile', 'user/'. $user->uid .'/edit/profile')
  );
}

Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering what the $node->language = 'en' is needed for?
Also, I found that 'user/'. $user->uid .'/edit/profile' doesn't work, but 'user/'. $user->uid .'/profile/profile' does work.
Is there a way to change the url of the profile edit page to '/profile/edit' without the 'user/'. $user->uid . on the site url?

<?php
global $user;
$node->type = 'profile';
if(content_profile_profile_exists($node, $user->uid)) {
  print l(t('Edit your Profile'), 'user/'. $user->uid .'/profile/profile');
} else {
  print l(t('Create your Profile'), 'user/'. $user->uid .'/profile/profile');
}
?>

The language part is only used in the query for translation purposes. When the translation module is found and the $node->type (in this case content type 'profile') allows for duplicating in different languages, the query will explicitly search for the user profile in that language.
