I think I heard about a glitch in profile manager when they just did the last 1.8 release, though it had been fine prior. Expect something from Dalsem soon enough, you might comment on that plugin thread.

You should know that adding and ordering custom profile fields is built into to 1.8, so if that's the only reason you needed Profile Manager, you can probably get by without it.

@brett - hmm, custom profile fields in 1.8 seem to be (very) limited. i.e. to what a user can see in their profile page.  No control over where they can be seen, admin only etc.  Few options in field type selection - where for instance is a 'select' field with options.  No control in mandating a field .

Not quite what I had in mind.

@TahoeBilly - I did thanks but no response yet.

My two penny's worth, for all it matters

The ability to adapt something like elgg to be based around your own membership requirements seems to me to be key to its operational capability and success targets.  Having looked over the database schema, I can see nothing that precludes having an in-built profile management system as a core feature.  Presumably Dalsem thinks the same, which is why he has addressed this shortcoming for so long.

So come on you devs, either include Dalsem's functionality, or at the very least work with him so his essential piece of functionality is in step with trunk dev.

End of two penny's worth

Cheers
