The eastiest way would be to add a dropdown box named "Second Avatar" and add all the image names you got (ex. image1.gif, image2.jpg). keep it invisible in posts. Instead look for this code in Display.pl:

require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";
$yymain .= ext_viewinposts($musername) . qq~ 

and replace it with:

require "$sourcedir/ExtendedProfiles.pl";
$sec_avatar = qq~<img src="http://www.yourpage.com/YourImageDir/~.ext_get($musername,"Second Avatar");.qq~" alt="second avatar"><br>~;
$yymain .= $sec_avatar . ext_viewinposts($musername) . qq~
 

Don't forget to change www.yourpage.com/YourImageDir/ to your image path.

If you set that a drop down menu can only be seen by certain groups, shouldn't that be automatic for admin to see all? Or do I have to list admin as one of the people that can see? I say that because it is not visible or administrator, only the groups listed. Thanks.

Thanks. Works great now

nope, there is no easy way todo this. it would require heavy modifications on ExtendedProfiles.pl. You can only choose between admin- and usereditable.

No easy way for this either. The url type doesn't have a description option in the fileformat. You'd have to change it's structure.

That's a bug. I've attached v1.1 which has this problem fixed.

yes, only one line in ExtendedProfiles.pl was added.
