Within user profiles, is it possible to create a select list using key=>value pairs? I want to create state and country dropdowns, but I need to use the 2-letter state/country codes versus string names in the database. Would it be best to create a taxonomy vocabulary for these and associate that to users somehow?

Here is related documentation...

Hi everybody,

I'm building a site where people(employers) will post small jobs for other's(seekers) to bid on and respond. I can't figure out how to protect the privacy of the seekers. When the seekers create their profile, I want them to specify some 'private' and 'public' values. When they bid for a job, the employer is able to the 'private' details. Otherwise general public is only able to the 'public' details.

I explored views, cck, node family, node profile, node relationships, and currently I have a coder's block (if there's such a thing).

Any hints?

First, not sure if this is the right place to post, so please forgive me if it isn't.

When I want the user to sign up I want them to accept and read a terms of use policy. I can't create it as a field as part of the profile since it will appear in the profile and there is validation check to see if the user checked it or not (must be checked to use the site). Is there a module or some php code I can use to implement this small addition?

thanks.

Hello -

I am trying to understand if Drupal can support my requirements for user profile creation.. please advise. I've been ready a bunch of posting and I am still confused..

My basic requirements are as follows:
1) 3 Types of user profiles (some same info and some unique to profile)
2) I want the the user to indicate that I want to sign up as user type X.
3) The user then is able to update his profile fields based on his user type..

How do I accomplish this? Please advise.

Regards,
Vito

Hi all,
I'm experimenting with drupal to provide the networking element for my new jobboard.
I installed job search and was hoping to give it a try.
So far I have reached the point where I have recruiter user and an employer user and I have set the story content type to be used for job applications.
When I went to test it I found that an employer or recruiter wanting to add a job advert would have to figure out that story means job advert.
This is never going to work. There must be a better way than this.

Hello everybody!

I am building a very basic social networking site. It is not supposed to have any fancy features, but it should provide the following functionality:
a) themed profile (the standard list is just too ugly)
b) named relationships between users

I use these modules:
- profile (core)
- user_relationships
- views

I already managed to theme the profile thanks to the profile customization snippets. For this I modied garland's template.php file and create a user-profile.tpl.php file where I wrote the PHP code which generates the profile layout.
However, I am not sure if this is a good approach. For example, without specifically parsing and displaying the passed categories, added blocks are not displayed. This brings me to my first question: Is it possible to sort of encapsulate my profile layout, as a block/page/view or such, and make it selectable in the site building/site configuration menus?
