I've browsed and seen this topic broached but not many solutions to it. Hoping I can keep it alive.

I'm starting to build a site w/ XOOPS and am finding it quite easy EXCEPT...I need to be able to easily edit the user profile form. I want specific options in the profile i.e. "Band Name", "Genre" etc. (yes, a music based site). And I want members to be able to add audio/video to their profiles. It should be a one stop resume for anyone looking to hire a band. I know that this isn't a "social networking" module (I wish there was) but is there anything we can use to easily create this MySpace/YouTube style community?

Oh, a hitch...I know NOTHING about html/php. Hubby can stumble through some html so that helps a bit. We REALLY like phpFox but our host won't allow us to use it. It was extremely user friendly and pretty much what we needed.

Lastly - has anyone purchased the "Building Websites w/ Xoops" book and is it useful?

Thanks in advance for your help and insight.

YES!! PLEASE! I'm trying to build a targeted "social network". We've just started building and we're really liking Xoops...this post was honestly the first indication to me that XOOPS didn't have this type of module.

Everything I'm reading on the net is indicating that Social Networking is the new wave...if I may be so bold...Xoops should jump right in.

A social network module would be fabulous!!

So, can we see one in a week or so?

(This is a great and informative site by the way...thank you all!)
