Extra user CP pages which show custom profile fields
Hi there. I was wondering if I could get some help in achieving the following:

I am setting up a RPG site where each user account has 'character' information as well as 'user' information. The character information can get quite detailed (upwards of 30 custom profile fields), and so I'd like to put all these fields on a new page within the user CP (and take them off the "edit profile" page).

At the same time, I'd like to code how these fields display in the user cp by myself (as in - not leave it to the default array). I have the PHP in templates installed which I'm sure will be of some use in achieving this.

I've provided some print screens below of a site which has achieved what I'm trying to do:

I'm still finding my way around PHP, so will need some help, but I can see this involving two stages:
1. creating the custom page in the user cp which includes the capability to modify profile fields
2. hard coding the profile fields on each page

I'm grateful for any help that can be spared <3

Separate pages could be unnecessarily difficult.
What about using tabs instead?

Tabs would be fine (as long as I can style and code each field individually as seen in the above print screens).

Ha, kind of funny I stumbled on this tonight. That's my board that Earl Grey is using as an example. She's contacted me about it through a different means (PM on RoW, the forum in question), so we'll be discussing this privately. If I have the time, I'll be writing a premium plugin for this.
