How to Pull Profile Fields in Drupal
Drupal provides a free, open-source content management system software solution for website owners and developers. With the membership functionality of the software, members of your site can create profiles containing information such as name, interests and "about me." The information is a stored in a database. You can then pull the profile fields and have the information display on a Web page so others can view the profiles of members by calling the database to retrieve the data.
