Wasn't as difficult as I thought to convert this mod to YaBB 2.2 after all. The only real code change was the way the fatal_error() sub is been called. Note: this is still beta, as I only tested the base functionality on a fresh Y2.2 installation. Use with caution and report back if you find any problems with this.

What this mod does: It allows you do add an unlimited number of additional fields to user profiles.

Extended Profiles v2.3

FAQs:
Q: How do I convert my old extended profiles to the new format?
A: Open the admin center and goto "Installed Mods->Edit Profile Fields". Scroll all the way down to the converter input form. You'll find detailed instructions there.

Q: How can I allow global moderators to edit profiles or to access the Extended Profiles admin area?
A: In the admin center, goto "Global Moderator Access". There check "Allow Global Moderators Access to edit User Profiles". Then press "save". Now "ext_admin" should show in the list too. Check that to allow GMods to edit the profile fields too. Press "save" again to apply the changes.

Version History:
v2.3:
  - made compatible with YaBB 2.2 (this no longer works with YaBB 2.0/2.1 though)

Great Mod. Works good for me too thanks   

You don't need the convert function to move from YaBB2.0/2.1 to 2.2. Just copy the profiles to the new install.

Make sure that you also copy the Variables\extended_profiles_fields.txt and Variables\extended_profiles_order.txt files from your old install.

My favorite MOD !!!  Thanks Michael .. Great work !

Hi,
  I do not code in Perl, my natural language being JSP/Servlets  But I run a board, and on installing the mod I got an untrapped exception, basically saying that it could find the ExtendedProfiles.pl. The path it was looking was: http://boardurl.com/forum/Admin/..//http://boardurl.com/forum/Sources/ExtendedPr...
(I checked the permissions... it was 666)

So I opened AdminIndex.pl  and then traversed to AdminSubList.pl. I changed the director mappings to make it search in the current directory, and copied the ExtendedProfiles.pl in Admin folder too... It works now... but would like to know, what went wrong with my installation??

Thanks  and Cheers!

Am I being a bit thick here (quite possible!), but where exactly do I find these options. I have followed the installation instructions but cant find any reference to this mod except in the 'InstalledMods' area?
