I'm building some functionality into a drupal 7 site that will let users search for another user, by a 12 digital identity number (for example: ZD-3423FGIO-XZ)

How would I go about doing this? Would I need to create some custom code to insert a new field in the user table that creates a custom number then modify the search functionality, or would I just use a module to do this?

Any help would be great!

It seems to me like a typical use case for Field UI and Views. No code needed.

Video tutorials on Drupal 7, (Fields from episode 9), and Views.

  • I've not used Field UI before, would you be kind enough to post a short sequence of events on how I might use this to solve my problem?

  • If you check out the docs on the field-ui and views that should give you a a fairly comprehensive run-down on how to implement it. drupal.org/documentation/modules/field-ui (Field-ui), and drupal.org/project/views
