Converting a content type into a Profile2 profile I'm working on a site that's a user-contributed directory of local businesses. Each business that registers gets a user account.

I've thus far built the entire site using "Place" as a content type. However, in order to get users to contribute their listing as soon as they register (And to let the user easily edit that node), using Profile2 might make sense.

So, either one of two questions:

a. Is there any way of easily exporting a Drupal content type into something importable into Profile2?

b. Is there a way to get users to create a node just after or as they're signing up?

Thanks!
To your first question, create a view of the required information and using the Views Data Export module you can export it to a csv file.

Then you can import the information to users and profiles using the User Import module.

To your second question, Rules will do it for them. Create a new rule executed on the event 'After Saving New Account' with the action of 'Create an Entity' and define the node you want created, using the new user as author.
