custom user profile pages

Question

I am working on a directory for a membership organization.

I am trying to create two distinct user pages. One for the user themselves (and admins) and one for the public to view. I would like these formatted differently, not just show different fields (which I could do simply with permissions, right?). And these public pages need to include Profile2 profile data.

I have tried editing the user-profile.tpl.php page. For example:

<div class="profile"<?php print $attributes; ?>>

  <?php print render($user_profile['field_first_name']); ?>
  <?php print render($user_profile['field_last_name']); ?>

</div>

...but this seems to have no effect on the user page at all, even when I clear all caches. (Perhaps because I'm using Display Suite to layout the user profile page? Does that override everything else?)

I also created a View:

• Contextual Filter

  • User:Uid
  • Provide default value: Type = User ID from URL
  • Specify validation criteria: Validator=User

• Relationship

  • User:Profile
  • Profile types (all 3 custom profile types chosen)

• Path: /users/%user

But I'm still just getting the Display Suite layout. Is that doing the override?

DS uses it's own templates. Go to admin/config/people/accounts/display, then scroll to the bottom and DS will show you which templates you can use to overwrite the output.

In the example below there are 2 suggestions. Hope this helps you out.
