Hi

Could some one please enlighten me and tell me how do I use multiple sides when using Content Profile.
I have 3 content types which all are selected to be part of the content profile. Creation and editing works fine. Only the owner can create them and he can only have one.
But viewing them shows them all on one big page. I would like to have them separated in the way they are created. Is there a way to create a menu which calls the profile pages from a certain user???

Thanks

i'm not sure why you've enabled three content types for content profile - have you considered using CCK (text fields) and then you could use fielgroup tabs to have each appear as a 'tab' at the top of the users profile? i'm doing it that way myself, never actually thought of using more than one content type for a 'content profile' (actually didn't even know that you could)

you may want to post this as a feature request in content profile: like, "set multiple profiles/cotnenttypes as tabs on user page"

Is this a good idea? From a performance perspective I'd say that it is. When using views you can be more specific by only joining the profile types you need for specific views of your data rather than constantly querying the same tables. Not a concern for everyone, but certainly gives you a bit of flexibility for the query conscious. From a logical view it also makes sense. Why shouldn't you divide up you data and reform it into views? Drupal uses the DB as a bit bucket, but every DBDs ideal is to have well normalized data. I know that's next to impossible with Drupal, but this gets you a little way there.
