Thank you on the compliments :)
Right now the fields are:
Nickname, name, email, URL, time zone, ICQ, AIM, YIM, MSNM, Location, Occupation, Interest, signature, etc.
If I wanted to add a field, I would have to do atleast the following steps:
1. Changing manually the structure of users table in the database.
2. Changing the way the details displayed on various pages.
3. Adding checks to see if the field is mandatory or not.
Dynamic profile is when you can do all of the above in a few clicks. For example, if I wanted to add Skype field to that list, and remove several other fields, I'd have to go to admin panel, click on dynamic profile page, and do the changes in a few clicks (adding new field, marking if it is mandatory, removing other fields, etc).
This is something XOOPS should implement, in my opinion, because a lot of sites need other details to be filled in the user profile than the default details given.
Of course, all the things could be done when you dig into the code, but ideally, it should be a few clicks away.
I remember someone from the development talking about it a while ago (half a year or so), so I was wondering if it will be implemented anytime soon.
Thank you very much!
