Attached is a revised version of the Profiles help page for the
handbook.
* It simplifies the English, fixes some errors in composition, and
makes things clearer.
* It tells how to enable the module
* It better explains the available fields for custom forms
* It tells how to put "User list" on your menus
* It documents the assignment of relevant permissions
* It makes the various administration pages for the module easier to
find in context.
It is up to date for Drupal 5.0.
I have several comments and questions:
Under "Visibility," I see that hidden profile fields are "only
accessible by administrators, modules and themes." Admins may wonder,
How do themes deploy such fields?
Also under "Visibility, I see "Private field, content only available to
privileged users." Who are those "privileged users"? They seem to be
different from "administrators," but the "Permissions" page offers no
way to specify who they are. This is likely to perplex site
administrators. It should be documented.
Cordially,
O Govinda
