Josiah Wallingford Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 The one big thing I see missing from custom profile fields is tags. Here is an example of how this would be used: You run a site, something where your users all have special skills they are proficient at. The admin could set up a custom tag profile field called "Skills". Your members could then add skills they are proficient at in their profile. The admin could then put a block on the site for that profile field "Member Skills" in which all the tags or the most popular tags or whatever show up in that block. A user then clicks on one of those tags and a page with a list of members with that tag on their profile shows up. The admin could setup many different tag systems for profiles. Does something like this already exist?
Fosters Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Waiting MP approval:) We coded something similar for a client, where you're able to place a widget on your site, then you set the profile field which you want to use ( Select and Radio fields are supported) which will then output all the available options. When you click on any of the available options, you'll be redirected to a page with all members which have this option selected
Josiah Wallingford Posted May 27, 2018 Author Posted May 27, 2018 What is MP approval? The widget sounds good. I have to have the tag's ability though because I need my members to be able to write in their own. It would be nice if when the user is writing in their tags it would auto-fill in the tag (give them a list of similar tags) with other tags that have already been created.

Josiah Wallingford Posted May 27, 2018 Author Posted May 27, 2018 Would it be difficult to create a plugin/application that allows for tags to be added to users profiles? If that can be done maybe your application would work for me when the tags system is added.
