Steps
Sharing attributes across multiple user profiles is a three-step process:
- Step 1: Create a profile template
- Step 2: Create profiles
- Step 3: Use profiles
Step 1: Create a profile template
Create a general employee template. You can define other profiles with fields from the profile and some more.
app/user_profile_types/employee.yml
Step 2: Create profiles
app/user_profile_types/software_developer.yml
app/user_profile_types/project_manager.yml
Step 3: Use profiles
Here's an an example of using the software developer profile on a sign-up form:
app/forms/software_developer_signup.liquid
Here's an example of using the project manager profile on a sign-up form:
app/forms/project_manager_signup.liquid
Note
If you would like to create a profile on sign-up without assigning any property, please make sure that the parameters would include at minimum . You can achieve it with hidden input and or via JSON.
Note
To discover names that fields should have, explore the variable by printing it on your page.
