Ever wanted to know more about another user - maybe their birthday, nickname or a bit more about them, or even see what they look like? Well now you can!
For an example of a MySpace-type profile, see here
The
UserProfile module can take in any userID from any querystring. This
opens up a wealth of functionality - such as modifying any existing
modules to pass a userID in (see the customized UsersOnline on the home
page) or even linking to a user in an article on your website. For
example, have a look at my profile.
You
can also assign a censorship value against a user, so other modules can
only show content appropriate for the target audience. An example of
this in action is the Smart-Thinker Quotes
module - you'll never see inappropriate or rude quotes according to
your censorship... Administrators can review and flag UserProfiles as
invalid if
necessary - the next time the user logs in they will be prompted to
correct it.
That’s not all - you get an Upcoming Birthdays view as part of this
module - the lucky birthday boy/girl will even get a birthday email on
their special day - you could even customize this message for
advertising if you wanted to.
There is also a "User Directory" Search facility.
