Default Changes / Additional Info on user Profile Pages

Hello;

I asked this question in the official forum, (no response there yet) but I really am quite sure it is going to be a modification.

If this is a possible mod, can you give me even a ballpark idea of how difficult / time consuming this would be? e.g. Very General: 50 hours for an experienced programmer to do this or 500 hours for an experienced programmer to do this.

Copy of my post to the main forum.

I need to have the ability to make some changes to the profile pages on a new forum. I am looking to have additional fields, as well as additional photos added to the profile page. This is for a pet related site, so the info I'm looking to add to the profile page would be something like;

Photo of Pet #1
Pet Age
Pet Size
Breed
Etc.

Then the ability to add additional pets, just like the example above.

I realize this may be custom work to get this done, and I don't mind having a PHP programmer putting a reasonable number of hours into it. I need to make sure it can be done, and make sure it isn't a really major modification. I have a Invision forum and have been asking around, but no one seems to be able to offer something like this on Invision.

So is this something I can manage to get done on VB, either out of the box, with an existing modification or via custom programming?

Thanks

Jamie

I am a newbie but:
it looks like you can add profile fields in the CP at "Add New User Profile Field"
These fields may be text box, buttons, or menu lists but no pictures

Under settings "User Picture Options" profile and avatars pictures are enabled and disabled.
under forum actions>edit profile>edit profile picture pictures can be uploaded.

Thank You, I just did some tests in the demo, and the fields will accomplish what I am looking for. I though about letting users paste in a link to a photo, but I tried it and the link isn't a live link when it is displayed in their profile, it is only rendered as plain text.

Thanks,

Jamie

Well you can create the custom fields then use template conditional codes to render it how you want... they input their facebook id or url etc and you can edit the postbit or postbit_legacy (different templates depending on your desired post layout vertical column or horizontal along the top etc) template and add in the code to show a clickable facebook icon. I've done some creative thinking and had it show a number of different things, images, text, clickable linked icons etc in many different ways. Then there's also modifications that will allow you to render content as well sometimes specific to the mod or allowing you to define what's shown.
