function user_view

Generate an array for rendering the given user.

When viewing a user profile, the $page array contains:

• $page['content']['Profile Category']: Profile categories keyed by their human-readable names.
• $page['content']['Profile Category']['profile_machine_name']: Profile fields keyed by their machine-readable names.
• $page['content']['user_picture']: User's rendered picture.
• $page['content']['summary']: Contains the default "History" profile data for a user.
• $page['content']['#account']: The user account of the profile being viewed.

To theme user profiles, copy modules/user/user-profile.tpl.php to your theme directory, and edit it as instructed in that file's comments.

Parameters

$account: A user object.

$view_mode: View mode, e.g. 'full'.

$langcode: (optional) A language code to use for rendering. Defaults to the global content language of the current request.

Return value

An array as expected by drupal_render().
