User Profiles in Drupal 7

Submitted by Rachel on Fri, 06/26/2009 - 13:27

Drupal 7 will bring about a new way of implementing user profiles with the integration of CCK in core & support for CCK fields for users. In Drupal 6, site builders rely on a core module called "Profile" or contributed module called "Content Profile" to create user profiles. The Profile module supports additional fields on user account edit, while the Content Profile creates user profiles as a new content type with CCK field integration. Drupal 7 will diminish the need for field creation in the Profile module, although Dries Buytaert (founder of Drupal), has noted the missing piece:

"We demonstrated that it is possible to attach fields to users but that doesn't necessarily give you the functionality that comes with profile module; we need to be able to attach fields to the registration form, support a number of different views, and provide an upgrade path from the old profile module to a new, Field API aware profile module. Our goal, of course, is to leverage the new Field API so we can bring the power of dozens of CCK field types to user profiles."

So there is reason to be excited about the new CCK feature for users, but as Dries noted, there is a need for additional features for registration form tie-ins, etc.

An Abercrombie And Fitch

An Abercrombie And Fitch employee in northern California is alleging she was fired for refusing to remove her hijab, or headscarf marking her Muslim observance. Abercrombie pursuit of a homogeneous army of "perfect" employees appears to have snared it again!

Abercrombie Clothing to the AP, "the Council on Abercrombie UK Relations said Wednesday it filed an Equal Abercrombie London Opportunity Commission complaint on behalf of Hani Khan." Abercrombie Fitch says she was told she would be allowed to wear a Abercrombie Outlet, but a visiting district manager disputed that. She says she was fired when she refused to take it off.

In 2008, an Abercrombie And Fitch accused Abercrombie of refusing to hire her because her head scarf "didn't fit the chain's image." That lawsuit, filed last year, is still in progress.

Abercrombie in the company's serious on-the-ground sensitivity issues: Abercrombie Clothing to let a woman help her autistic sister try on Abercrombie UK, for which they were fined $115,264, and banishing an employee with a prosthetic arm from the store floor. That employee, Riam Dean, was awarded ￡8,000 for unlawful harassment, although the tribunal ruled that she hadn't suffered disability discrimination.

Abercrombie London has a well-documented mission of selling its idea of youthful physical perfection, Abercrombie Fitch the Bruce Weber ad campaigns to the employees that fit its ideal of American beauty. The company conceded that that ideal didn't include black, Abercrombie Outlet, and Asian employees in 2004 when it paid $40 million to employees and job applicants of those demographics to settle a class-action federal discrimination lawsuit. They had been accused of "engaging in recruiting and hiring practices that exclude minorities and adopting a virtually all-white marketing campaign."
