Profile
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The *Profile* module provides configurable user profiles.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
* [Entity API](https://www.drupal.org/project/entity)
|
|
|
|
## Comparison to user account fields
|
|
|
|
Why use profiles instead of user account fields?
|
|
|
|
* With profile, user account settings and user profiles are conceptually different things, e.g. with the "Profile" module enabled users get two separate menu links "My account" and "My profile".
|
|
* Profile allows for creating multiple profile types, which may be assigned to roles via permissions (e.g. a general profile + a customer profile)
|
|
* Profile supports private profile fields, which are only shown to the user owning the profile and to administrators.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Multiple profile types may be created via the UI (e.g. a general profile + a customer profile), whereas the module provides separated permissions for those.
|
|
* Optionally, profile forms are shown during user account registration.
|
|
* Fields may be configured to be private - thus visible only to the profile owner and administrators.
|
|
* Profile types are displayed on the user view page, and can be configured through "Manage Display" on account settings.
