User Profiles Version 3

User Profiles version 3 is a complete rewrite of version 2 using Panels 2 as a base and incorporating much of the grunt work into the Advanced Profile module. This tutorial serves partially as docs for the module but also goes beyond that to demonstrate what you can do with it. You can see the end result by viewing my profile on my social network playground site.

This is a complex tutorial involving several modules. While I have put as much of "version 2" as possible into the Advanced Profile module there is still some work involved in getting nice user profiles. Please read it over and make sure you understand the concepts before attempting it. If you have problems with the tutorial, please use the support forum and I will answer if I am able. To report bugs in Advanced Profile, please use the issue queue.

Note: This tutorial uses the bio module as the user to node connection as it is the simplest method. You can also use nodeprofile if you want to make more complex profiles involving multiple profile nodes.
