With Custom Profile Fields, we can add some user related stuff into profile page. And we can display it to postbit (optional). Also, we have an ability (an option) to add some fields into the registration page.

In other words, for noob users like me, I think using the Custom Profile Fields is the easiest way for adding user related stuff to three different location: registration page, profile page and postbit. So, I think it is a useful feature.

My opinion / suggestion for Custom Profile Fields as a default feature:
  • An option to add a non-required fields to registration page.
  • "Hide on profile?" setting. If we choose "Yes", why the profile owner can't view the field in their own profile? I can't find a good reason for this. They can still see/edit it in their user cp, why not in their own profile? Right now, I need to edit member.php file for this. Yes, I know the description in this setting is clear enough, so I think my opinion is pointless Biggrin
  • We don't have an ability to set a value if a user didn't fill a non-required fields, just like "Blank Replacement Value" feature in XThreads.
    In Custom Profile Fields, the fields value ({$customfieldval}) will be displayed as a blank cell, but the fields title ({$customfield['name']}) is there. At least don't display it  ({$customfields}) if a user didn't fill it. Again, right now I need to edit the member.php file for this.

My opinion / suggestion for Custom Profile Fields as an additional feature:
  • An option how we want to display it, like "Display Format" in XThreads.
  • An ability to display / put it manually in our templates. XThreads has this flexibility.
Actually, XThreads is a perfect system for this, but I don't want to make the dream become "too good to be true". So, I just put the most important (I think) features here.

It is only my opinion, Yumi Smile
