  8. This modules is designed to be the successor of the core profile module. In
  9. contrast to the core module this module provides a new, fieldable 'profile'
  10. entity - leverage the power of fields!
  11. Installation
  12. -------------
  13. * Copy the whole profile2 directory to your modules directory and
  14. activate the module.
  15. Usage
  16. -----
  17. * Go to /admin/structure/profiles for managing profile types.
  18. * By default users' profile information is displayed on the
  19. account view page (/user/X). The relative positioning can be
  20. controlled using Account Settings -> Manage Display
  21. (/admin/config/people/accounts/display)
  22. Profile titles
  23. --------------
  24. A new feature in 7.x-1.6 gives each profile an unambiguous title.
  25. Previously, profile titles defaulted to the profile type, which was
  26. ambiguous, and contained other bugs. In this release the default
  27. profile title is "<type> profile for <user>".
  28. This format is a translatable string, so can be easily customised.
  29. If you have locales installed you can use that, otherwise the
  30. String Overrides module provides a simple way to replace text in
  31. the current language.
  32. The string to override is "@type profile for @user". To simulate
  33. the previous behaviour (without the bugs), just use "@type".

  35. Profile pages

  40. This module provides alternative ways for users to view and edit their profiles.
  41. There are two options, instead of integrating with the user account page.
  42. 1. Generate a separate page for users to view and edit their profiles.
  43. 2. Display the profile in a separate sub-tab of the account page.
  44. In this case the editing mode of the profile is unchanged.
  45. These options are mutually exclusive, but are set per profile type, so different
  46. profiles can display in different ways.
  47. Installation
  48. -------------
  49. * Once profile2 is installed, just active the Profile2-pages module.
  50. Usage
  51. -----
  52. * The module's options may be enabled per profile-type by checking one of the
  53. checkboxes "Provide a separate page for editing profiles." or
  54. "Provide a separate tab for viewing profiles." in the profile type's settings.
  55. * In the first case, users with sufficient permissions (check user permissions)
  56. receive a menu item in their user menu, next to the "My account" menu item.
