Adding profile fields to Social Groups

[hallenberg]

Hi. I'm new to vB and I'm working on a project that would like to make heavy use of social groups.. However having reviewed available settings and related mods it would seem I may have to try and handroll a few features to achieve the refinements we're after - such as extra search-centric fields in the social group profile form (eg. 'Location', 'Type'..) and/or a searchable tag system.

In a nutshell can anyone tell me how feasible this would be to achieve without causing major upgrade headaches? Many thanks.

Chris
