Howdy,

I am looking for a simple member profile script. I've searched high and low and just can't find anything. My organization is willing to consider paying, however I feel fairly confident that someone, somewhere already has something like this.

-Members can sign up but must be approved by the admin;
-Members can enter a variety of details such as location, age, etc.;
-Members must be able to upload a photo;
-Photos and/or names of all members should be displayed together on a single page (this org. only has ~50 members) for visitors to view;
-Visitors should be able to click a photo and/or name to view extended details on the individual.

I do not require messaging, any sort of forum, etc. It's just a matter of people registering, logging in, entering info and uploading a photo, and then all that being dumped onto a single page (in a table or something).

I have a basic command of PHP and could probably get close to making this work on my own. I could certainly work with a similar script from someone else. If you're able to provide this script, please contact me at quinnhk AT@AT sourceforge.net.

I could make this script for you.

I have been looking for a free script to include on my website.

What do you think?

Sounds like a plan to me, Barnz. I'm not at all opposed to making the script public and/or open source. What can I do to help you?

Well I dont know really, just tell me what you think its finished.

How long can you wait?

I have a relatively simple system envisioned, so I would think it might be a project that would only take maybe eight hours total for a reasonably experienced programmer. I could be wrong though. I'm not in a huge hurry... couple of weeks maybe?

Yeah thats plenty of time, what fields will you be requiring?

With this being a free download I originally thought of the idea of just having a general profile which would suit everybodys needs for instance fields like "Name, Age, Location, Interests, Profession, etc etc". But then I realised it might be better to have an installer where people can choose what fields there profile will require by themselves, however this will take longer to code. Im not saying its going to take a lot longer to code, but I do not know I have never coded an installer before. The concept of it does not really seem difficult to create, but it might be I have no idea?

Do you think I should code the installer? It needs to meet the needs of everyone and by that it could either be a set profile with "general" fields to near enough suit everyones needs, or an installer whereby the administrator can select the fields during the installation?

What do you think?

I see what you're saying. I don't personally need an installer because even if I need to add fields, I can edit the PHP and the database myself. However, if you are thinking of taking this further and making it a full, user-friendly release, I do think that's a great idea. Apparently there are a couple of CMSs that have similar functions, but this would be a nice, simple piece of software that would be more manageable. I'd be happy to help you test the code as you work on it (that would also put in my hands more quickly - I'm certainly not opposed to that ). I think there would be quite a few interested parties - people that want to make a list of club members, staff, members of a team (soccer, hockey...), gaming clan members, etc.

As for my needs, I would probably use fields for name, major, year (freshman, sophomore...), hometown, class, pet peeve, profile and photo. Only the name and the photo need to appear on the main page, the other info can just be in a popup. If you wanted to go all out on the installer, you could even allow the admin to set whether checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns or simple text fields are used for each item of information (but then again, maybe not).

I went ahead and created a very simple page to illustrate what I mean by main page (the gallery). Obviously in the final version, there would be a CSS stylesheet to allow the admin to manage how it would actually look.

Yeah I will make it with the installer, your design for the script was the same kind of design I was thinking of. You can test it soon ill load it up to my webserver tonight or tomorrow.

Sounds great, looking forward to seeing what you've got done so far.
