Hi.
So, I'm building a SNS for an industry. That industry has 3 different types of users. For example, if it was real estate, the users would be:
1. Property
2. Realtor
3. Customer
As you can see, the profile fields for each type of user would be different. If you sign up as a property, we'd only need one city entered in a profile field but if you were a customer, you'd need to add multiple cities to tell others where you'd like to live.
Is there a profile manager that allows different SETS OF custom profile fields based on whether you pick #1, #2, or #3??
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
That's not what I mean.
Each profile type needs a different set of fields.
I installed ColdTricks advanced profile manager and I don't see how to specify different fields and questions per each profile type.
Help?
@Bob Wan Kim
That has to be a custom elgg plugin.
Nope, that is exactly what profile manager is for. Need a live example?

The last option is "select a profile type" then as soon as you do - new custom fields. That was built with profile manager. You just need play around with it a bit to figure out how to use it I guess, ask for help. It's all pretty self-explanatory once you start creating the profile types and profile fields though.
@matt
That's exactly what I'm trying to do.
But the Profile Manger doesnt give me any way to assign specific fields to profile types.
Can you upload a screen grab?
Im i missing something really obvious?
Create a category, put the fields in the category, and assign the category to a profile type
