The default Drupal 7/ Drupal 8 or any version has user profile section. The user profile section has only few fields like username, password, email address, profile picture and time zone. Is it adequate always? Probably not. For example, you would like to create a social networking website and you may need to add more information in the profile section like first name, last name, age, contact number, country etc. Another example is that you have a shopping website and you may need to provide service countrywide and you need to differentiate people countrywide. How to do that? This question was asked yesterday when I was giving training to a Drupal conference. Yes, this is possible and you may add unlimited no of fields to the user profile according to your site requirements. It’s very simple and easy. In this page, I would discuss how to add extra fields to user profile in Drupal website.

Installing views for Drupal website: How to install views for any Drupal website?
One of the excellent and popular modules of Drupal CMS is the Views module. The power and feature of views is excellent and provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists and tables of content, users, taxonomy terms and other data are presented. I can’t think any of my Drupal website without views and I mostly like this module. Based on the importance of this module views, I decided to publish some tutorial for all of the Drupal lover. For creating this tutorial, I use Drupal 7. If your Drupal website has a different version like Drupal 8 or Drupal 6 then do not worry. The tutorials are alike except the options are located to different places. To start publishing views tutorial, I would like to explain the installation method of Views.
