Any ideas? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-extend-profile-information#post-14163 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 21:48:32 +0000 chrishajer 14163@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>There is a "Use Display Name" plugin:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/display-name/</a></p> <p>There was also a "Custom Profile Fields" plugin, but I don't know if it still works or is being maintained:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-allow-additional-or-custom-profile-fields</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-extend-profile-information#post-14156 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:02:39 +0000 rkudeshi 14156@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I am trying to transition from an Invision Power Board-hosted forum to a BBPress version, but need a few features to ensure all features are kept in the new version.</p> <p>Basically, I want people to be able to add more information to their profile information. Occupation and location aren't relevant to me, but other things (its for a college discussion forum, so year and major are more helpful) would be.</p> <p>It's a bit of a tangent, but I also would like to have one of the added fields (Real Name) be the primary name displayed in threads, but I figure that's another project for another day -- alternatively, is there a plugin to allow individuals to change their display name?</p> <p>Thanks so much for your help everyone! </p>
