function user_view

user_view($account, $view_mode = 'full', $langcode = NULL)

Generate an array for rendering the given user.

When viewing a user profile, the $page array contains:

• $page['content']['Profile Category']: Profile categories keyed by their human-readable names.
• $page['content']['Profile Category']['profile_machine_name']: Profile fields keyed by their machine-readable names.
• $page['content']['user_picture']: User's rendered picture.
• $page['content']['summary']: Contains the default "History" profile data for a user.
• $page['content']['#account']: The user account of the profile being viewed.

To theme user profiles, copy modules/user/user-profile.tpl.php to your theme directory, and edit it as instructed in that file's comments.

Parameters

$account: A user object.

$view_mode: View mode, e.g. 'full'.

$langcode: (optional) A language code to use for rendering. Defaults to the global content language of the current request.

Return value

An array as expected by drupal_render().

Code

function user_view($account, $view_mode = 'full', $langcode = NULL) {
  if (!isset($langcode)) {
    $langcode = $GLOBALS['language_content']->language;
  }

  // Retrieve all profile fields and attach to $account->content.
  user_build_content($account, $view_mode, $langcode);

  $build = $account->content;
  // We don't need duplicate rendering info in account->content.
  unset($account->content);

  $build += array(
    '#theme' => 'user_profile',
    '#account' => $account,
    '#view_mode' => $view_mode,
    '#language' => $langcode,
  );

  // Allow modules to modify the structured user.
  $type = 'user';
  drupal_alter(array('user_view', 'entity_view'), $build, $type);

  return $build;
