I made a plugin wich makes the user import aware of custom declared user-profile fields.
It checks wether the profile module is activated, and will then list all custom declared profile fields so you are able to map to these fields.

I tested it with:

  1. Drupal 6.16
  2. Chaos tools 6.x-1.3
  3. Feeds 6.x-1.0-alpha14

And used the Feeds XML Parser

Interesting. This could be a patch to FeedsUserProcessor. No reason why we would use a separate processor here. Only thing I am worried about is the upgrade path to Drupal 7.

Have you thought about that?

And of course, if to be committed to Feeds project, this functionality will need tests.

Here's a patch that does the same thing as DoubleJB's file.

Still need to write a test for this, if someone else wants to jump in though go ahead.

I haven't looked into the profile differences in D7 (just started playing with it last week) so I can't speak to that, but this does appear to be working for me in D6.

#3:

- This functionality should be broken out into a mapper (e. g. like mappers/taxonomy.inc).
- Needs tests.

Ok, here's the same idea with the profile fields split out into their own mapper and a really simple test to make sure it works.

Thank you for the solid patch, especially the tests helped review it fast.

I did some minor code style cleanup and committed it:

i'm trying to map fields to user profiles with the latest dev version and getting nowhere... if this was committed where did it go to? i've tried this http://drupal.org/node/1060230#comment-5758044 too with no luck... any assistance greatly appreciated

fwiw went back to the drawing board = i had been using feeds because it allowed clever mapping into organic groups via a nice patch, so i used user import to update the profile fields and leave the OG stuff alone and it seems to be working.. a bit of a hack, but for anyone else in a bind it works
