I want to customize the user edit page. I want to separate the elements (eg. user password, user picture, user email) and put them each on a separate edit page. I tried the panels module, but that only allows me to move the entire form.

Is there a way to separate these form elements on different pages. For instance a change password page, a change user picture page and add the email into an existing user profile edit page?

There are basically two main directions you can go if you want to 'expand' user profiles:

  • You can either add fields, field groups and eventually group them in tabs or thelike.

  • Or you try the module Profile 2 wgich is basically the successor of the core profile module.

Both approaches can be fruitful – both will let you spread user profiles over different 'pages' (or tabs). But I'm not sure how fine-grain you can actually go with these two approaches – and if you can actually 'diconnect' the change password ui from the rest. I usually try to keep the core info on one page – and 'the rest' (contact and bio etc.) on sub-pages (tabs).

  • Thanks for the answer @tillinberlin. I am using profile2 for all of my fields. But I am not entirely sure how to integrate the drupal password and email fields. I did originally create a 'profile image' profile and used a image field. But I prefer the default drupal profile image for various reasons.
