MatchMaking , Match Maker hack
 

Interested in a MatchMaking hack. Match maker for vbPortal/vBulletin. System should suggest "compatible partners"....

I looked at several standalone matchmaking programs and what I think would be nice is COMPUTER generated matches which they didn't have.....if someone could make a hack that can MATCH people together, based on profiles would be great. male to female, astro sign to compatible astrosign, and then based on matched "interests"/categories.....and option for proximity/location maybe with options to "exclude"/include based on PHYSICAL traits, ie look for "blond" hair only and blue eyes, or 6' or taller etc....so would require a lot more PROFILE fields.

I really don't see the point of one if the system can filter out potential mates from the let's say thousands of users in your system. It should allow for easily adding MORE CUSTOM fields to be used in Filtered SEarches/matches. Say you find out there's something about "shrimp eaters" on your website, they don't want to be matched with any non-shrimp eaters etc....so you add that field with a value of yes/no, 0/1 then you add the choice on the SEARCH function and the search PHP code is smart enough to deal with the new variable/field(AND or OR searches)

anyway I hope I'm making some sense...

I would be willing to contribue some $$ for takers perhaps if others can contribute someone will attack the project. It would be pretty big project I think but should be very doable.

Any takers on this, as I would be interested as well...

Yes it will be very interested.

go there!
