[consulting] Users and content types

[Ben West]

There are user profile fields which let you store text, integer, checkboxes,
or select list data with each user profile.

I've used such fields to store nids, so that I can bind a particular node to
a specific user account, but this requires lots of form_alter() fu.  CCK
fields, e.g. nodereference, can't be bound directly to the user's profile in
D6.  (But they can in D7.)

You may want look into creating intermediate nodes of a new content type
that have a 1:1 association to each user's profile.  That way, any
association between a user's profile and other nodes is done using the
intermediate node and existing CCK methods.

E.g.
http://drupal.org/project/content_profile
