User profile view state transitions

20-Apr-2013 [211]

Initial state: user object loaded with user_load(). Field extensions are omitted without the user_load call.

(object) array(
  'uid' => '2',
  'name' => '<name>',
  'pass' => '<encrypted password>',
  'mail' => '<email address>',
  'theme' => '',
  'signature' => '',
  'signature_format' => 'plain_text',
  'created' => '1365031416',
  'access' => '1366473346',
  'login' => '1366249131',
  'status' => '1',
  'timezone' => 'America/New_York',
  'language' => 'en',
  'picture' => '0',
  'init' => '<initial email address>',
  'data' => array(
    'mimemail_textonly' => 0,
  ),
  'roles' => array(
    2 => 'authenticated user',
    3 => 'Website developer',
  ),
// field extensions example
  'field_business_affiliation_type' => array(
    'und' => array(
      array(
        'value' => '0',
      ),
    ),
  ),
  'field_contractor' => array(),
  'field_account' => array(),
)
Name Description
hook_user_view($account, $view_mode, $langcode) The user's account information is being displayed.
hook_user_view_alter(&$build) The user was built; the module may modify the structured content. This is the recommended place to alter user profile, set to be output by theme(), qualified by #theme, or qualified by #type through element_info.

Drupal functions and related hooks:

user_view_page($account) Page callback wrapper for user_view()
user_view($account, $view_mode = 'full', $langcode = NULL) Generate an array for rendering the given user; calls drupal_alter(array('user_view', 'entity_view'), $build, $type); to allow modules to make changes
user_field_extra_fields() implements hook_field_extra_fields
user_user_presave(&$edit, $account, $category) Implements hook_user_presave
user_user_categories() Implements hook_user_categories
user_element_info() Implements hook_element_info()
user_user_view($account) Implements hook_user_view
user_account_form(&$form, &$form_state) Helper function to add default user account fields to user registration and edit form. see user_account_form_validate(), user_validate_current_pass(), user_validate_picture(), user_validate_mail()
element_info($type) Retrieves the default properties for the defined element type.$type: An element type as defined by hook_element_info().
user_build_content($account, $view_mode = 'full', $langcode = NULL) Builds a structured array representing the profile content
drupal_render(&$elements) Renders HTML given a structured array tree. Recursively iterates over each of the array elements, generating HTML code.
drupal_render_children(&$element, $children_keys = NULL)
element_children(&$elements, $sort = FALSE)
drupal_alter($type, &$data, &$context1 = NULL, &$context2 = NULL, &$context3 = NULL)
module_invoke_all($hook)
hook_entity_view_alter(&$build, $type)

system_element_info sets numerous element default behaviours, that are merged from drupal_render(). For example system.module/system_element_info implements 

  $types['markup'] = array(
    '#markup' => '',
    '#pre_render' => array('drupal_pre_render_markup'),
  );

This is used to process #markup set to 'markup'.
